Couldn't pass up 25% off and no sales tax...

Anyone know when eBay will likely do another 15% or 20% off with no limitations?

Color for November, Macoupin Craw. Thanks @Siebert Outdoors.

Had $20 left on a BPS card so I stopped at the Harrisburg store and picked up some Kalin's 5 inch grubs. Those will get plenty of use. Also bought some GY Shad Shape Worms. Heard they are good for drop shotting. 

 

Stopped by my local dsg. They had the Sprinker discounted at $12 and it was on the buy 5 get 5 rack. They came out to about $6 per frog. I've noticed a variety of reviews with this frog. But, I guess i better start liking them after tonight's purchase. 

Just purchased a Dobyns735C,Diawa Fuego CT 8.1:1, 50lb Power Pro. Now the bait monkey is whispering in my ear to buy a selection of frogs. Keeps telling me not to wait to BF. I am trying to hold off, but it ain't easy.

Your in New Jersey, resist the urge. Plenty of time before the big frog bite is on.

Nothing to do but shop Gotta plan ahead.

Siebert order came in:

Had a fun order turn up today from hookup tackle.  Really have been wanting to see, none the less try, a Vision 110 +2 for a while.  Then I had to make sure I got to free shipping and it just spiraled out of control from there...

I took a couple pictures comparing the 110, 110 +1, and 110 +2.  You can see the bill is quite a bit larger.  Also the body doesn't taper as severly.  A final observation would be that it has significantly more stout hooks compared to the type katsuage trebles.

I also took a picture of the 110 LBO compared to a 110 FX.  The weight transfer system can be see a bit through the paint, although it is more obvious in the Dive ELBO.  Also excited to try these lures.  Reminds me a bit of the Jackall Rerange?  Too bad soft ice season is almost over here in MI!

Nice selection of Visions.

That perch +1 is a Hero Bait for me north of RT 72.

I've been waiting to hear how that +2 performs before snagging one (which actually means many)  Be Real Interested what you think about it after you've had some time fishing it.

My local Walmart actually carries them. They do attract an awful lot of Chain Pickerel attention in my area.

I told myself I was getting out of the MB game after finding that a couple of them had "puffed up" in the past.  But I just keep coming back like the junkie I am...

 

I have a real weakness for perch pattern lures.  That Pro Perch +1 is by far my favorite lure to throw, thus the hook rash.  Caught me several 5lb smallies this year!

Nice to know I'm not the only Fat Albert fan on the forum.

Yup - that bait has yielded several plus sized brown bass for me as well.

Fortunately I have not experienced any type of MB bait degradation - ie the swelling deal.

Kind of happy about that quite honestly.

Are your baits stored of left in super hot or humid locations ?

?

I've got 2 packs of black twin tails and a pack of chartreuse waiting. I love the quality of Zoom baits.

And in an age of $20+ baits, Zoom is a bargain at under $3.00 US. Quality and inexpensive price means they are my "always carry a few" lure.

too bad, I can barely find them in stores, had to get them of Amazon. Bang! and Yum make some quality baits that don't break the bank.

Since the yellow perch have made their way into the Chicago harbors and Navy Pier, I'll be heading there Saturday to try and get some for the first time for me.  Had to get some perch bait, lol.

I get mine at the local Walmart. They carry a decent amount of Zoom baits.

 

a Fat Albert grub on a ball head jig dragged and hopped along the bottom is a confidence bait of mine.

Agreed about Bang!, found some Pure Craws in a bargain bin at an outdoor show that worked great as a jig trailer, and Yum too. Around here you can find Big Bite Baits finesse grub at a local Dick's for under $2.00 a pack.
