The new zman spinnerbaits have really been crushing it. I’ve only had them for two days but they’ve caught allot of fish from the banks. Thanks to the how long do you let your baits sit thread I’ve been doing really well with jigs also. 

The reel monkey, who is the lesser known older brother of the bait monkey, visited and provided me some early Christmas presents from Japan and Malaysia. You can see a couple the noticeable differences between the Curados, as the “K” model has a bigger gear housing and longer handle. I’m really looking forward to putting them to use...

After my last trip out, I knew I needed a couple things. So a small TW order was finagled from the wife.

 

1) The 'super sharp' scissors I was using to cut line for re-ties wasn't cutting it (yes, I know - sue me) on the braid - so a Boomerang snip was needed.

2) My crank/jerkbaits were getting too tangled - 4 packs of Owner treble safety caps will fix that issue.

3) The 12# FC on my Trion was not working well - 1 spool of 10# Yo-Zuri should work better.

4) After seeing how well the 4# Yo-Zuri that had been treated with KVD behaved on my Pres-25 (which was a gift...yes, the treated line came with it) I decided that YES, I do need Line Conditioner - so a bottle of KVD was added.

 

No lures this time, just things to help me fish better and easier.

 

and some other stuff but I think these crocs are the best purchase of the day

My Duo jerkbait addition is getting a little out of hand ?

I have a spinnerbait problem right now. 

Ordered 2 Spro BBZ-1 50 Rats one in Ninja, one in Morning Dawn from TW. I'm hoping they are louder than the big Savage rat.

They're much louder. The Morning Dawn (Hippy Rat as I like to call it), is a killer color.

 

Picked up an 8" Bull Shad in Bone color this morning. Hoping it will be a big player this fall when they start woofing the big gizzard shad.

Great I'm glad to hear they're louder. The Savage is basically a silent bait. You'll like the 8" Bull Shad. I've got a school Bull Shads.They just flat catch fish. I look forward to long hot summer nights with the rats.

Got myself some costas! Green mirror fantail series.  Let’s see those fish !

That’s next on my list a good pair of glasses. 

I forgot about the glasses and decided to try this out it was on sale and I couldn’t help it. I’m week. 

It should help out with depth, structure and stuff like that.

I'm looking at that exact pair. Did you get the plastic or glass lenses?

I got the plastic , I know glass is a little clearer but the extra 100$ price point wasn’t worth it.. that and shatter resistant .. if a bait comes flying back and hits you in the eye , I would rather not have shards of glass in my eye

If you went on eBay you probably could have found the glass for about the same price you paid for the plastic lenses!  I got a pair with 580G for $160.

Placed 2 memorial day orders since they couldn't all come in one box. I got myself some nicer gear for jigs, frogging and squarebills as well as stocked up on trailers and flipping baits for the upcoming season.

3 Shimano exage rods

1 7'2" MH/F for jigs, 1 7'2" H/F for frogging and 1 7'4" MH/M for squarebills and chatterbaits

Some u-40 cork seal for the new rods and since i always forget to order it.

6 packs of yamamoto cowboys 2 bruised shin, 2 green pumpkin purple copper and 2 watermelon red.

thanks I'm happy with everything i figured why not take advantage of the discounts

A reload on Pointers and finally got a Rest 108 in the color I wanted

This was my 6th sense haul about a month ago, just been very busy and didn't have time to get the picture up. I wanted to try out their swim jigs because they have the screw lock and I have to say it does keep my trailers on longer, but the only downside is that the paint chips off the head of the jig pretty easily. If you are fishing rocks often, my vote may go elsewhere. The cranks have been nothing but amazing, but only have half of them left, darn Northerns! LOL

Let us know how you like the Exage rods.  I ordered 2 from TW during Memorial Day sale - 7'2" HF for frogging and 6'10" MH to use when kayaking.
