I'll take the swimbaits.

Ken you go in first with your PFD.  Pack some bullet proof kevlar into it and take one for the "team."

Uhh...I would think that you living closer to Minneapolis than I do, you'd have more experience with that sort of thing.

Are we having fun or what ?   

Might be cheaper just to buy the baits.

must be winter. I found this to amusing. 

All I got to say after A-Jay put the pic of a certain persuasion tool there, YOU BOYS ARE ON YOUR OWN!!!!!!  ?

You guys are turning  a ?day into a most enjoyable one ? At least for me.

Okay - absolutely the last purchase this season (unless I can sell some stuff)

As it's a MF action rod, it's for light cranks and jerks...but it'll also be another finesse rod. Putting an Avocet RZT-2000 on this with 8# InvizX.

I don't care about the color. It had the power/action I was looking for at a price in my budget.

So if they were pink or blaze orange or zebra stripes it wouldn’t bother you? ?

Well, there are some limits....dweeb. (jk)

Well, that should about do it for terminal tackle for the season.

I'm glad I don't live anywhere close to you. I wouldn't want to get caught in the crossfire. Good luck defending your castle.

I see those Archelons. (don't forget the worm rattles!)

Rattles you say.... Like what kind?

I use both of these. The Archelon has a tiny hole on the bottom side that you can slide the rattle into. The body actually has a cavity where it sits perfectly (you may already know this). It's also a tight fit so the rattle won't fall out. Insert it in the hole and then work it up towards the head of the bait with your fingers. And then insert the hook.

 

Easily one of my top flipping/pitching baits. In super clear water I don't use the rattles, tho.

Ok, cool. I'll have to get some of those for the couple places that I fish which are muddier. Most of my water is clear. Yeah, that cavity makes for a great bait in heavy cover. Its also my top bait for this application. Had to replace the stocks for the coming season, couldn't take a chance that they would be backordered. I did notice not all the colors were available but I got what I needed.

A while back a certain poster on here mentioned how the Archelons may be discontinued, so I made sure I stocked up. I couldn't even tell you how many packs I have because of that. Thankfully they were wrong. 

I'm glad I didn't hear that! My poor wallet...

Store shelves are still well stocked, but I'm noticing online retailers are quickly finding themselves backordered on a lot of stuff, from gear to baits.

Hey hey don't be blaming me for your overstock!!!  haha?  I also have an overstock of them!  You are welcome for that stock pile though!!!?

Finally got a pair of good sunglasses and picked up another Tatula Type-R to match a recent custom build.

Same here. And while store stocks seem to be good, variety is not.

Thanks for the 'pre-confidence'.  I picked up several bags of these on sale last year and need to wet one.
