A few JDM goodies and more.

 

Zoom creature baits for NED jig heads.  Just started throwing the NED rig, I'm sold!  Trying to avoid anymore purchases for a bit as the wife can't understand why I need 10 of everything.  I do want a new MotorgGuide Tour Pro 82lb with GPS as soon as they're available as my current TM is getting very long in the tooth.  Just waiting for them to ship.

I break down and grease new reels right away, then several times during the season. It takes very little time. We'll see how it goes. So far so good. Nice tank of a reel. Many of it's parts are available at Tackleservice.com if you need something.

Thanks. The reel stood up to a ton of a abuse it probably just needed some care that I didn't bother to give it. I did clean it and fix it up so it is running fine enough and I'll be giving it to a buddy as a starter since I have now added I believe 5 new reels to my arsenal this season. ?

Still waiting on a couple 110's to come in but received the bulk of the bait monkey's latest splurge. 

 

I also picked up 2 new pairs of Smith sunglasses (also backordered) and an Outdoor Research paclite jacket to keep with me in my tackle bag. 

 

 

 

 

 

Ships on the 18th, apparently.

I always pay for the 2 day at least. I think it was $11 and I got my Stradic in about 3 days. It shipped the next day. But I am also incredibly impatient.

Yeah. Talked myself out of it. It'll get here when it gets here.

Picked up some squarebills.

 

 

SmokeS3. I just hadta have more. I like 'em alot. 300 more Quantums and I'll catch up to AJ.

A few random finds today. Spro swivels for Carolina rigs, some shakey head jigs for my Jackall Flicks. I have been liking this FYAO brand of soft plastics. I've been using their devil bugs for years now and today found these giant hellgrammite stick baits in 3 colors. Can wacky or rig on the shakey, could even cut up and ned. 

Treated myself to a Falcon Bucoo SR 7' M/MF spin crank rod. Replacing a well worn H2O that has caught me countless fish (including my PB smallmouth), so it has big shoes to fill. It feels nice, hoping it performs as good as it feels.

I use a Bucoo for my cranking rig. You'll be very pleased.

Is it the spinning cranking rod? I've got a few casting rods I use for bigger, more standard sized cranks, but I fish 1.0s and #5 shad raps a lot on a spinning rod and not many companies make a spinning rod geared towards cranking.

Nosir, mine is a 7' M/M casting rod, and there are times I feel like it's got a hair less backbone in the blank than I'd like. So the M/MF that you got, if it follows that, ought to be a really great blank for the purpose.

I'm not an addict. I can quit any time I want.

I got myself a pretty toy recently - Daiwa T3.

 

I've got a custom spool ordered for it, it is going on my finesse baitcasting rod which I built myself.

Nice! Curious what spool you're throwing in? That stock 1016 spool is one of the best all around spools made. 

Now I want 5 more.

If you want to sell that 1016 spool, I am interested.

i have three, and I want 5 more, lol.

Just getting into the big bait game and here is the haul from the past month. I got lucky on the Bucca glide and WCZ battle shad drops and was able to score. They both sold out within minutes. Now I just need to get out and fish them.

Throw in a S-Waver and a Ganteral Jr and you'll really have all bases covered, but if you're already refreshing the page every 10 seconds on SU during a bait drop....LOL!
