Didn't plan to pair these two because I figured the maroon and black/green/purple wouldn't look right.  I was wrong.  Looks pretty slick!

Nice, love to hear about the rod after you get some time with it. I was gonna grab one right before they pulled them. Looks sweet

And it's here - I'll be putting a 'family portrait' of the spinning rigs up in the 'Show' thread a little later - was just waiting on this to get here.

This is one of the re-released ones so hopefully it won't break on me.  It's the Braillist.  I'll probably use it mostly for swim jigs.  Come on spring!

Just saw the hook up tackle Instagram post. They have boxes of the new o ea going out tonight for the pre orders. A whole bunch of people about to get some sweet rods. 

Got a surprise present today from the wife. Hopefully this doesn't make me hate my cheaper reels and cause cascading upgrades.

Thankfully she asked my tournament partner what kind of "reel thingy" I would like. LoL

I set myself up for this one but probably the last big one for awhile (if the monkey doesn't get me for another rod before the years over).  The LC Fat CBBDS2 baits are getting tougher to find but great baits.  The prices are getting out of control but I got lucky on ebay with them.  

 

I also posted photos on the new setup on another thread but I had to put it all together here.

I almost picked that same rod up but went with the Megabass P5 Super Destroyer instead (see above).   Its a nice rod but this was the one that had me on the fence.   You will have to let us know how it performs on water.

Although I don’t use round reels that is definitely one nice find you have there. ??

Lucky you, she could have just walked into Walmart/dicks and picked out one that matched your shoes. Or worse a loudly colored one to stand out as a accent piece. 
sweet reel man.

Nice when your handle matches the swimbait. :thumbsup:

 

I almost picked one up for my Tranx but barely talked myself out of it.

Glad the weather really decided to take a dump right when this little guy showed up so I won't get to use it for a while ?

Just got these today.  If the water ever thaws out I can use them.

Those Rappys are nice. Husky Jerks are great lures. I finally have a few things trickling in. Picked up on some Ser. 3 and 3XD’s as spares and triples on my most used patterns. A couple of new patterns also but they are for the most part still Shad colors. I still have a few thing on back order. It will get here eventually.

What bait is that?

  • Super User

Scored the rare GP Spawn Killer pattern.

Been hunting these down for going on 2 years

#hardtofind

Interesting that the motherland uses different trebles.

I like that, a lot.

That's mostly standard hardware for these baits.

Hooks, not so much.

Monkey got me last week. Had 20% discount code plus free shipping!

I'm not the One-Ten connoisseur that you are so I don't see anything special about the hooks. I don't think the one I own has black rings on it though...
