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!

I've had a 168 S-waver in lite trout on order for months, but still on backorder. I'm about to give up on that one, haha.

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

Thanks for the interest but in going to hold on to it for now in case I change my mind down the road.

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

I've got a Ray's studio spool ordered, it's going to be used to throw light lures All the way from trout spinners on the lower end to need rigs on the higher end.

I had the exact same thing back ordered through both tackle warehouse and bass pro and they both emailed me saying that there is no promise restock anymore and that the orders have been cancelled. That was after waiting 5 weeks lol. But this was a couple months ago now.

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.

Nicely done. You should check out the Megabass Vatalion next. Awesome bait. 

With the sweat dried to my forehead and the smell of fish still lively on my hands from a fun morning topwater bite I staggered into the local fix shop and bought more stuff I didn't need... GAVACHO!!!

 

ps. Caught first Spro rat bass today-lots of funs!!!

Currently the monkey is appeased and anxiously waiting for the postman to deliver a bunch of baits next week... what did I do????

If you don't have a pic of them delivered then you at least have to tell what's coming 

I bought several packs of 5” Senkos in green pumpkin with black flake and watermelon with red and green flake for $5.99/pk. 

 

But...my Father’s Day gift from my wife was given to me today a bit early. It beats the 45 year-old Flambeau I’ve been using! 

 

Alright I’m done ✅ with balsa for a wile

That Swimbait business is no joke.

I picked that one up on sale a couple of months ago.... very satisfied with it. Well made and nicely appointed.

New Co-Pilot Knife for the PFD, (replaces my old Pilot knife) couple of Black Label CB2 balsa cranks, 400 Black Orange Crustation  BW skirt tabs. (they are back in stock)

Another item came in the mail - a new reel handle for the old Shimano Citica E - the old handle bent a good two years ago and I just avoided using the reel instead of buying a new handle. I think it looks pretty good myself.. maybe need to shop around for a matching nut and retainer though... ?

Quick pit stop at Hi’s Tackle after work. Ended up leaving with a new reel. It’ll go nice with my Rebellion rod ? so the Stradic can finally come off.

New rod, reel and bait today!

Fun stuff.

 

 

 

 

My last two purchase have been by far my most expensive lure purchases ever. The swimbait game is not friendly on the wallet ? I grabbed one of the Bull Gill glides during Buccas recent bait drops. I also recently got a Golden Belt Customs Harvester that I had custom painted

More treasure! 

So I still have a few things coming in the mail but the past week I added some things to the arsenal.  The Bio Gills are @Bluebasser86 'a fault.  The stupid Jackall 007 is @Smells like fish 's fault.  

 

Apparently I upload too many pictures and need to delete some...oops

So what's the verdict on that stupid thing lol 

@Smells like fish you have to reel it in at warp 10 to get it to work well.  Probably work in the right circumstance.

 

Someone said the Vatalion was good...so yeah, got that one.  Got the terminators just for the blades.  If anyone has more, let me know. And HOLY CRAP - the 8" punker is monstrous.  I put it next to a Zara spook for comparison.
