Added a small assorment of the new Megabass silent Sonicside squarebill to the arsenal.

Pic doesn't do them justice - very nice looking baits.

Interested to see how the sonicside performs compared to the Flat 75 from 6th Sense.

Me - Too 

The 6th Sense bait has been a mainstay in my super early season arsenal for a while.

May do a side by side - cast for cast, one vs the other; if I can get on the right bite.

This Sonicside is totally silent - so I like that as an option right off the bat.

And I'm pretty pumped about the Perch - which is not a 6th sense pattern; at least this slightly translucent GP Megabass pattern. 

We'll see & I'll let you know.

Hopefully, I will be able to tell the story with pictures, video & scale usage.

These fall squarely into the category of 'hard to find'.

At least they were for me . . .

Thanks - great to hear.

I've heard all kinds of rave reviews about them.

Hopefully, I can find out what that's all about by feeding one to an obese smalling in the near future; if not sooner.

Dang, you guys are killing me... been holding off on the SB's, and those sonic sides yeah they look real good!

I was at the Classic this weekend and ended up with two of the Stanford Boom Boom frogs. One is the standard Boom Boom and the other is their new Boom Boom Popp’r frog. 

Here we go! Thanks, TW BMC sale.

 

 

I am O for 3 on the clip on cull tags so far. 

All have failed miserably; falling off or getting torn off by spirited brown bass.

Going to give the newest (updated design) from T-H Marine a shot at it.

We'll See.

The Monkey, his brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, and 5th grade teacher got to me this week....

 

They ganged up on me forcing me to sell my Ascend 128T and buy a Lure 11.5 with the overdrive ...

 

 

How do you like that Lure kayak? I've been thinking about getting one.

Those clips look almost identical to the ones that come attached to the cheap tags included in the Rapala touch screen tournament scale.  They are the best I've used! I just attached them to my Ardent balls.  My guess, is those will work pretty well.  We'll need a report soon.

I like it enough that I have two. I bought my first one in 2015 and an Overdrive model in 2018. The seat is all-day comfortable, it’s stand up stable, and the integrated wheel makes for easy transport.

 

The Overdrive gets me about 4 mph pedaling normally and is removable for fishing shallow, weedy waters.

 

Sans the seat & Overdrive, I can lift it onto my Tundra’s ladder rack myself.

OK ~ Thanks 

Perhaps I'll do a quick review; but only if they do indeed stay attached.

Will not be posting up any bashing videos.

Either way, I'll let you know.
