@Saavedra9 this is the place where we share our problem...I mean obsession...or maybe habit? of buying tackle.  Apparently there are a lot of monkeys on the loose...

    This is an extension from the 'Picking Out New Baits' thread in which I said my wife and boy were bass bait shopping for my birthday.  They done good.

Soo I'm not someone to usually buy my fishing tackle online because I prefer to see the lures in person but decided to take a risk since haven't had the time to go to my local Academy..... I've heard about and read about alot of sites to buy my lures online. Like Academy, walmart, tackle warehouse, bass pro shops and a few othere. So I decided trying cabelas. It was a risk but figured what the heck. Placed my order and it arrived quicker than i was expecting even with this covid virus going on. Total was about 5 days to arrive. I'm very happy with how fast i got my package and how big the selection of tackle was with them. They got me as a customer. Any other websites y'all recommend?

 

Attached below is my first purchase 

1. Yum 7.5 inch Ribbontail Worm Blk/Blu FLK 12 pck

2. Yum TipToad in White 5pck(excited to try these)

3.Mister Twister curly tail grub in White pearl got the wrong size got 3 inch meeny instead of 4 inch but whoops my bad.

4. Mister Twister Sassy Shad 3 inch White pearl/ Black back

 

What y'all think?

What y'all think?

1. Classic option

2. I think you'll like these.  Rig them on a 4/0 or maybe 5/0 EWG hook.  Can be a belly weighted one but I don't use those for buzz toads.

3. Another classic option, although I'd fish these for walleye or stream smallmouths

4. Another oldie but goody, these should catch any species aside from small panfish.

Weather isn't great today but got a chance to hit the bank and catch some on one of the 6th Sense Hybrid Swim Cranks that arrived yesterday.

Got to love the 50e Curado.  I have a 51e Chronarch.  Those 50 size reels are something special.

From what I've read from Harry David, that boy liked to grow and eat green beans. I'm with you, bet he never even had a nice rod n reel

I loved my Daiwa Coastal TWS that I got a few weeks ago so much that I decided to give the Coastal SV a try next. Something tells me I’m going to like this one just as much. This is replacing a Curado 200i that I have been looking forward to getting rid of.

They like to eat jerkbaits in summer too!!

From BPS, mostly stuff for river smallmouth duty.  Still more TRD's on the way in a separate shipment.

Those look perfect for my river smallmouth, but I'd have to have them at half the price to throw them in that snaggy mess ?

Last thing I really needed, but I got such a good deal on 2 of them that I had to get them. Put this one on a 6'8 MH Expride and spooled it up with some 16lb Sniper to throw some 3/16 oz texas rigged soft plasics. Put some work in with it today and I like it. Still think the new Met is far superior but this one will do the job.

This order I placed before midnight tonight has an expected arrival in 25 days ? this is gonna be my pitchin, flippin, jiggin, Carolina rigging and maybe froggin setup ? I wanted an old greenie Curado but idk what I'm doin when I'm looking for one. I hope to add the K later...
