To increase my product knowledge, I picked up a Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris Signature Series baitcaster reel which I'm matching with a 7'2" MHR Tatula baitcast rod to use as my heavy spinnerbait/chatterbait/crankbait combo. Going to spool it with 15lbs Seaguar InvizX fluorocarbon.

I'll have to try that one with my "finance manager"....it'll most likely fly like a lead balloon. 

@A-Jay @12poundbass  In the famous words of Bugs Bunny at the time of his tangle with the Krusher, it was time to employ a little strategy when it came to my recent purchasing.   Now to complete the box of 1/2oz squarebills and crankbaits....I think I might even use the same line...lol

 

Picture below of the combo.

Is this the trailer to your boat? If so curious how smaller wheels would do on dirt

Yes the boat trailer.

My application involves asphalt & concrete so I can only speculate; but I wouldn't image very well. 

This unit is removed during travel (cotter pin) and stored in the "truck box" along with the original wheel.

So we're still ready for whatever.

Did you buy that or manufacture it yourself? How well does it work?

In theatre those are called "zero throw" casters and they are the bee's knees for easy and careful moving of heavy stuff.

Cool ~ 

Thanks for throwing out some knowledge right there.

I will add that the difference between moving the boat loaded trailer with the 'skate' as compared to the stock 'wheel' is considerable and pretty much stupid easy.  Actually made me laugh out loud the first time I tried it.

The only issue with them, other than cost, is that they get gummed up more easily than a single large caster.  Depending on the sawdust/dirt/grit level in your garage, it might never be an issue, but if after some time they get harder to move, take a look at the rotation points and give them a clean and relube.  

 

And yea, the first time I worked at a place with enough budget to afford them it was like magic moving huge set pieces around with just a gentle push.  

At a gander closing sale got 3 1/4 ounce RESs and a pack of rage bugs for 18 and change out the door, not too bad of a deal.

 

will be interesting to see how the rage bug compares to the gambler ugly otter which has been a go to bait for me, and is a buck cheaper than the rage bug. The menace won me over, but it is a different bait and really just fit in to the baits I toss. The Rage bug will need to be pretty incredible to knock the otter out of the rotation.

I caught a lot of fish using the Rage Bug like a hollow body frog over pads and stuff. Weird, but it worked great that way. Weightless T-Rigged.

I will have to give that a try, certain parts of my local lake gets thick enough with weeds it is difficult to get through with the trolling motor, over top of that stuff might be good.

@Columbia Craw Sorry to hear you're having some trouble getting around Doug.

Hope you're still able to get out on the water.

Picked up a bunch of stuff today.  Sickle hook standup heads in 1/8 & 1/4 for the big uptons, also a few gliding jigs, another tube of megastrike, a brown CL8 Mighty Mouse (been wanting one for a while!), a few soft plastics to supplement my shakey arsenal and a few disc golf discs ?

Well I fished the combo and it was nice and smooth, everything I expected from it.  Will let you all know about the drag performance when I catch a fish on it.

 

One thing I now know...I like the feel of glass over graphite or any other blank when fishing spinnerbaits and crankbaits.  So if you're in the Greater Toronto Area, feel free to contact me as the Daiwa Tatula pictured earlier is for sale at $100.00 Canadian and comes with a Rod Glove cover.

 

Cheers.

Just Received another Curado 70 XG that I placed as Buy it Now on Ebay for $103 plus FREE shipping.

 

That seller had good marks on it until that week where he was getting bad reviews lately. Saying that they never gotten their items or was marked as shipped but not received it.  Today, I got a email from the post office that I worked saying that my item arrived.

 

You bet that I dropped everything to run over there to pick it up. I was little baffled at first since the box was from "Cabelas". I opened the box which contains the Shimano Curado 70, Looked at the invoice which was marked at $199. 

 

Did I just make a semi-killing score there on ebay and got this from Cabelas ?

Been on a more expensive kick the past few weeks: cymbal monkey got me. 

 

Nice kit. I'm a drummer also. I've been playing for almost 33 years. Drums are what got me away from fishing at the age of 13. Now that I'm 45, be 46 in a few months, fishing has taken over my extra curricular activities. What kind of kit is that?

Just bought an assortment of Siebert Outdoors Jigs! Now the anticipation till they get here.
