Bucca Bull Gill Glide

 

 

Magdrafts 8" Ayu, 8" White back shad, 6" MSS, and a Deps 145 Deadly Keta Bass

No pics since I'm at the office waiting on server patches, but I got a new spinning rod that is roughly on par with my lighter casting rod. Still need to pick out and buy a reel for it, but waiting on a sale for one of the options I've picked.

 

The reason I went into the store was for panfish lures/tackle. I caught some blue gill last friday on hooks that were too big and my whole kit was basically too big for them. I got a few snelled hook packs in appropriate sizes, some little jigs, some "egg" type baits in suitable sizes... I caught them on some bigger ones meant for trout so I just downsized things.

 

I also got some smaller/finer wire bass hooks for texas rigs and a few bags of plastics. Nothing crazy, but I didn't have green pumpkin in a couple things and I also want to try the plasma tail worms so I got two colors of those. With all the grass we seem to have around here I'm looking for all the really weedless options I can get and sleek and snag free is getting more attention than I had expected this winter.

 

Still waiting on a couple items I've got my eye on plus the reel. Just waiting for them to come in stock at the right vendor or go on sale elsewhere.

A bunch of stuff lately, 2 Daiwa Legalis spinning reels and 2 Tatula rods to go with them.  Several lures and other stuff but here’s what came in today.

 

 

Plan to use this setup mainly for mid depth cranks and 5” swim baits, but maybe some bladed jigs/spinnerbaits.  Spooled it up with some 12lb fluorocarbon for now.

These 1/4oz finesse jigs from Brain Schmidt Baits.

 

 

And a couple Ima finesse poppers.

I really like those jigs!!  Looks like a killer bait and also something I can tie up myself.

I bought two of them Too off of eBay from a place in Alabama About a month ago .  Your right there is barely any info on them.  I only have 3 other flat sides square bills and these are my first lucky craft.  So decided why not  

I had fished the Lucky Craft KJ Flat 1.5 squarebills with a lot of success so I decided to try these. They definitely have a different action and profile that bass don’t see a lot. I think that’s why they work so well. I also bought mine off of the guy in Alabama. I’d say you were the guy I was bidding against for those. Lol

Nice small world haha. That’s where I bought spinner baits too.  I also won a 2 pack of lucky craft jerk baits about the same time I bought those square bills.  
 

I couldn’t even find those square bills on line at another store to even try to figure out what they were retailing for to figure out where my max bid was going to be 

Since I live in one of the 7 Bay Area counties on mandatory Coronavirus shelter in place (which is now state wide), I figured it was a good time to upgrade some reels. These Carbontex drag washers just arrived in today’s snail mail for my 201HG’s. By the way, eBay was the trusted source if you might be interested in doing the same.

 

*** I was surprised when I opened up my “I” series reel. The stock washers were Carbontex and the main was a little burned, but the aftermarket main washer has much more surface area...

I am continuing my stay outta shops and order online tour... I just hit the buy it now (from probably a member here) on 2 Deps Buzzjet Jr's! Yes they are used but I have wanted to try these lures since I first saw one fished on YouTube. I'll have to dance with the smaller ones until I can get the full size. I feel like I need a cigarette and I don't even smoke???? Happy Monkey despite that d**n coroaner virus!!! Take care of your monkey, people!

Ordered a Sedona 3000 for the heavier spinning rod I got a week ago. I was going to get something nicer but decided that it just wasn't worth the extra money to me right now. Maybe next year I'll upgrade it.

I also ordered some green pumpkin plastics in a few types. They've been in and out of stock and I finally caught most of what I wanted. I have been using the Strike King Half Shell's as trailers on chatterbaits but only had the bright color one so I ordered the Magic and Green Pumpkin Purple. I'm down to that kinda buy though, filling out core colors I hadn't been able to get, replacing what gets used... We'll see later this year when it's warmed up more, gotta catch more fish before I spend more moola.

great little reel for the money - I've got 5+ years on mine and she runs good. I haven't done any other maintenance other than just a bit of oil last summer. I might tear it down and give it a scrub

Received my last reel I needed, you can't have another rod sitting around with no reel on it. 

 

Just got a tatula 150 and a ark viper rod 

 

 

My first 6th Sense purchase. Probably won’t be the last.  

Dobyns Champion XP 766Flip, Dobyns Sierra 702SF, & Daiwa Tatula Elite 100XSL all on the way!

     I am excited to finally try a Dobyns rod out. In other news, I picked up a mislabeled Falcon Jason Christie 7'3" H Pitchin' Jig rod at Walmart for 29$. Was a bit tip heavy with the reel I have on it, so I made a DIY butt balancer.

Monkey got me for one.  I picked this up new on eBay.  I thought I was getting the 19 shown in the listing's cover pic but I received the 12.  I thought I would return it but considering the deal I got and after fishing it for a few hours this evening, its a keeper.   Simply an amazing reel.  

 

First purchase from Cabelas in a long time...more junk I don't need (except for the sonar cable I got for Dad).  The line was just too cheap to pass up.  Don't even know why I got the cranks.  I have a ton of the originals that I've never even used, haha.  Oh well, more stuff to throw in bins and stare at later.

What are those white zoom baits in the upper left of the picture?

Zoom's knockoff of the Fat Impact, the Z-Swim.  They look absolutely identical but were/are on sale for $3.99 a pack so I figured I'd give them a shot. 

I couldn’t help myself, they looked to good on you tube. 

Yeah, I’m that guy. 

I can’t get the good shot like the rest of you. 

New toys came today. Bleached, boiled, then baked in the sun. Ready to go!

 

 

Construction has been slow lately so I did some shopping.

I'm planning on using it for my lighter spinnerbaits. Just spooled it up with 30lb braid! It's so comfortable man I love the casitas, sad to see it go but glad I got one brand new on clearance.
