Couldn't pass these up. Allegedly outperform their price point, BP designed them, and the Tactical guys were impressed by the quality and action. That plus being on sale was enough for me to give them a shot.

 

Look good I’d try them.

I wanted to purchase one of these, in either of those colors.  Let us know how you like them.

After hearing artist Chris Grout's story  I just had to get a few Bubonic Bugz squarebills from Catch Co.  These look almost too nice to throw, but you can bet I'm going to because these are color patterns you won't find anywhere else, meaning the fish have never seen these before.

 

 

Great story!

Is it weird that I enjoy looking at tackle pictures as much as I used to like looking thru the Christmas toy catalog when I was a young'n?

I really miss catalogs with all the specs for each model instead of prompting you to go online.

I third it!

 

Also, all the loot in the last page or two explains why the TW website crashed on my late Monday night!

I spent WAY too much money at TW on BF. So much that I was thinking it would be way too big a hassle to get it all in one picture. Since you guys like it so much I will make the effort for you!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow anglers south of the border.

 

Just submitted my 1st TW order - the Antidote and a EZKeeper is for my BIL who gifted me a Zodias last week.

Orders in, and packed away. Obligatory pic, really excited to swimjig with those river2sea D walkers next spring.

I got more D-Walkers as well. LOVE them on swim jigs. 

This is small in comparison to the BF pics, but picked up a couple of husky jerks and a micro ripping rap while at the hardware store today. The micro ripping rap is intriguing. Hoping it will work on my 10 lb fireline setup and toss it around reeds for bass and crappie. But Holy cow that thing is small.

Yea you and me both lol. Between Black Friday deals for open water gear and getting everything ready for ice fishing season I put the 'ol card through a workout.

I picked one of these up as well. Out of the package they exude that same quality from an S-waver. I read an article about BP talking about the design of the bait, and getting Rapala to go through with a big bait like that. I changed the hooks and snap for my own sanity but the bait seems great. I love the rotating hook hangers. Nice to see some big bait offerings from more of the big tackle names.

That #3 size is for ice fishing crappie, thats why its so small. Theres a #4 or #5 that maybe would cast a little better if you find out thats an issue.

It was in the ice fishing section. I only would need to cast it 20 to 30 feet to work around reeds. If it doesn’t works it’s kind of cool piece to have in the box. 

Black Friday stuff came in! Super excited to throw my first jackhammers. 
 

More coming at Christmas...

Just part of what the Bait Monkey said I needed to have sent my way. Some from a familiar, trusted source, some from another. I was intrigued after a @Bluebasser86 post of the Provoke, a couple of mine are on back ordered from TW, and how they compare the Visions...

That Provoke looks good. What color did you get? 

 

Be careful with the Ish squarebills. I had a few years ago and for whatever reason, they bloated and split in almost no time. Hopefully they've fixed that issue with their blanks.

The Provoke is Ghost Bone Minnow, and I am impressed with the paint job as well as the hardware hanging from it. @fishballer06, it is kinda similar to my Jackall Squad Minnows.  And thanks for the heads up on the R2S crankbait. Hopefully, it was just a bad run and they fixed the problem. But I’ll keep an eye out none the less.

Boy this thread really makes wanna buy some stuff, but I caught pretty much all my fish on three things last year and I have plenty of them. Bummer kind of. 

Monkey got me for a couple of poppers during the TW 20% off sale.

 

 

I'm gonna be nervous tossing it, but I'm excited to try this thing out.

Got into a little tossle with the bait monkey when those Curado 70XG’s went on sale at TW. I held him off pretty good until they went out of stock. He bit me pretty good. I hope it doesn’t get infected.
