I know thats not black, white and char Megabass spinnerbaits! Havent been able to find them anywhere. 

I’m not sure if I can say the site I bought them from but they had every color in stock. White/chart it is.

How do you avoid musky and pike with these? A few years back on my home water on the opener I caught a few bass on a new shadow rap and got bit off by a musky. About a month later on the 3rd cast with another new shadow rap a trophy musky grabbed the bait and walked off with it. This was doubly heartbreaking as it was a monster and I lost another jerkbait. This is why I shy away from the more expensive baits. If you have a secret I need it lol.

Beats me - I've had pike on spinnerbaits, jigs and lipless cranks just in the last two years. Those toothy buggers will chase anything.

First of four new rods arrived.

I’ve got two, and catch 90% of my fish on them. Fantastic rods if you keep your lure weight below 5/8 oz.

This is going to be my primary jerkbait rod - heaviest I currently own is 9/16. Secondary techniques will be weightless worms and flukes.

1/4 oz tungsten with a trick worm is perfect for the rod. 

Zoom trick-worm: check - have four colors to choose from.

 

Another technique to add to the list.

 

And maybe a T-Rig catch...finally. Thanks.

that doesn’t throw off the action? I thought of using a steel leader but was worried about the extra weight.

This product is very light and is designed to be tied straight to your mainline & the bait;

no extra hardware or terminal tackle needed.

Both these fish ate a vision 110 with 12 inch of the AFW wire leader attached in 7 ft of crystal clear water.

YMMV

I’m usually pretty safe with a jig, but I don’t even bother with spinnerbaits or crankbaits anymore.... whenever something bit on those and it ended up being a Bass I was suprised.

I don’t think you’ll have any trouble catching bass on a t rig with all the vegetation in Minnetonka. Just slither a straight tail worm through some weeds and a largemouth should be all over it. They also work well out in open water for dragging. I tried the zoom ultravibe speed worm for the first time this year and it’s very fun on a Texas rig. It works dragging or reeling 

BF Tackle warehouse arrived 

Well I just ordered $90 worth of Baby D Bombs fr TW!  That should hold me over for awhile! ?

Just came in - this is replacing my Trion-30 in the canoe arsenal - going on a Fury 703SF

Here is most of what me and monkey has bought since Black Friday. It is TW, eBay and from 2 bait stores! Chk out those old USA gamakatsu Norman Middle N’s!!! The rod was my big buy it’s a hundred dollar Falcon China rod but seems ok so far...  

 

Anybody else like Raiseinets? They get bit every box I buy!

It really is cool to see everyones different orders. That's what I love about this site. Other than a few commons, everyones orders are so different based on location. 

 

Its neat to see the northern guys, southern guys, western guys, etc... all ordering such a vastly different array of tackle. 

I just got the first of two Quantum Icons. First impressions is I really like the grips and the reel is super smooth. Really hoping this is as solid as my older Quantum’s. 

I've been loading up on hard-core YGK and Duel braids from Japan, and studying their stream trout plugs.  

Our winters on the coast consist of two things - imitating 6" mullet for a few big trout with Corky's 7/8-oz neutral-density soft "balloon" twitchbait,

and reds and many pan size trout imitating glass minnows - go-to lure is YoZuri Pins minnow S.  

My last order included a gang of 35 mm crankbaits to throw on the salty UL rockfish rod this winter, same 1/16 oz weight as 50 mm Pins S, but smaller overall, and I like the reported slow retrieve action, because reds and trout sip tiny glass minnows.  

If needed, will swap the hooks with #6 Owner single plug hooks.  

My new jerkbait setup. MajorCraft MS-1 with a Daiwa Tatula CT. Ordered on Saturday, got here today from TW. Not bad lol.

The monkey is killing me.

I've got a bit left of the Yule Check from dad...but I need to save enough to re-register the canoe (3 year sticker expires end of the month) and a license with trout stamp in the spring (go on sale March 1)

Ahhhh, the monkey is a devil. It’s not like I needed more baits, but they just keep showing up. And then there was a sign confirming it...
