Another gantarel Jr on the way, this time in scale bass. At $20 I can't turn it down, also picked up a Jackall Mikey Jr to get free shipping.

Funny how things work. Took me 7 months to find one, and I have another already. I also passed on buying a 3rd today. 

 

Walmart had a cart of mark downs. This is some of the stuff I picked up today.

Love that scale bass, little bummed the foil is cracking on arrival though.

JDM take today.

I think this counts as a fishing purchase. Native Slayer 12XC

After hearing Tom (WRB) vouch for Iovino baits the past few years I finally broke down and bought some jumbo packs. Also looking forward to trying the small Bull Shads and Uoze underpsin swim jigs.

Uoze underspins are amazing !! 

Ended up getting a finesse setup for myself also lol. Not as nice as the wifes Tatula but still nice nonetheless. Dont mind the cat lol shes just happy we’re back home from a bowling tournament in Reno.

 

 

All new underspins , little and big swimbaits for trailers and a suggestion for the Mann’s baby 1- . Let’s see how we do!

The monkey told me to go to the gander 40% off sale.. got 45% off with my Good Sam membership. 

 

 

Yellow perch are in lots of lakes around here, but perch patterned jerks and cranks with trebles are a no-go from May through November around here. Stopped in a B&T, saw these and I was jazzed! I've had so much success this season with realistic looking paddletails with eyes, but hadn't come across anything perch-y until now. They smell like a combination of Fritos and my dog's feet when she's been sleeping for a while. Hopefully the bass dig that.

I'd be interested in hearing how these work for you

That pic makes it look like Mr. Lee just got a big whiff of that scent and isn't too much into it.  

Spent five weeks in a container, but they finally arrived from Malaysia.

Pretty sweet, those ones come in much nicer packages. Are they just colors you can’t find here, or is there something else different about them. 

Been eyeing this new swimbait (Davinci) for a while and after seeing some videos of its action I finally broke down figuring it's something most of the big girls haven't seen yet.

MB lures are no longer packaged in hard boxes. The VR (Viper Red) can still be found in Asian tackle shops, but the Gill Female (SP-C, special color) is no longer in production.

Picked up a Lew’s Super Duty w/ the flipping switch on sale to finally put on my heavy rod. Spooled with 65# braid

The bait looks good. It has a belly slot which is a plus. I rigged two samples with different hooks: Owner Twistlock Light 6/0 3/23oz(5167w-706) and Gamakatsu Weighted Superline(296415-3/16). I think the Owner was the better choice for the bait between the two. The Gammy just sunk the bait like a rock. There's actually more yellow coloration than my photo shows. The action is Meh. Not subtle. The paddle tail is bulky and the plastic is dense. I'm sure that makes it durable but in this case the bait needs to be fished fast to get the tail to kick. At that point the tail is really thumping, but not where the body of the bait is being wagged by the tail though, which is good IMO. However,  I'm not a big fan of these types of baits with hard thumping tails. I have much more success with one's that have a tighter tail kick, but especially at slower speeds like a Miyagi. That bait is way bulkier with much softer plastic and a smaller tail. The Megabass Hazedong Shad 4.2", which is more comparable in size to the Berkley, also has much softer plastic and a very tight tail kick at any retrieve speed. It's been is a super producer for me. 

 

Time will tell though. I'll fish it and see. I don't have high hopes for it at my local spots as my luck in those places with harder thumping paddle tails is essentially nil.  But there's a lake near enough where yellow perch are a main forage species. Here the bait fish get pushed up into sandy bottomed shallows and the predators like lures fished fast. I've hammered them burning a 3" Shirauo Dark Sleeper marked up to look like a perch. But that bait also has a very tight tail kick...

I've got to stop following lure companies on Facebook. All it leads to is them dropping new colors and me spending more money.

The addiction is real!

I do love a brightly colored rat. What are you throwing all these rats on?
