Doesn't look like it, https://www.doomzdna.com/products/doomzday-turtle .  These on a weighted swimbait hook...?

Going on a trip to the beach later this year. With that I’ll have a chance to do some inshore and light surf fishing, so naturally I used that as the reason that I “needed” some new gear.

Dang son, so many color options, so little financial backing to get them ?

Saw these at Bass Pro over the weekend. I'd never seen Roboworms in person before. I don't know if they catch fish but they sure are pretty. We'll see if they work.

My favorite drop shot bait.

I’ve been planning on my next rod purchase for a long time. Thought I was going to get a frog rod, then I thought a jig rod, then crankbait rod. But truly, I wanted a better spinnerbait combo. This is what I landed on.

Just bought, pics to come later. The reel may be overkill but I really really wanted one of those winches.

These things are magic on a shaky head jig.  Try to find ones with the smallest screw heads.  I can't remember if I have the ones from VMC or BPS.  I also like Spot Remover jigs as well.

Ollie’s, a discount store chain in Connecticut, recently got a decent amount of fishing gear. Picked up 10 Lucky Craft lures for $6.99 each.

Finally after 5 stores I found a place that carries cutter worms ? I am so happy ! The place had a good selection of different colors than I normally see and different plastics that I haven’t seen around my normal stores. I can’t ever recall seeing rage tail lizards or Yamamoto kut tail worms in stores near me.

Our ollies has crazy low prices on fishing stuff sometimes. Other times they don’t even have fishing stuff, but it’s worth a shot! My buddy gets shad raps for like $4.99 and $10 cast nets there

A good chunk of it yes, but the summer months and into fall I get an unbelievable opportunity to test gear down on the river 6 or 7 days a week, so I really try to make the absolute most of that opportunity, I really haven't got much need to buy new stuff, but it is fun for me, most of the paddletails are going to be a little experiment on action after smashing almost 20 fish in an hour and a half with a BioSpawn one last week, there is a good chance that I will burn through the majority of the non-BioSpawn ones by the end of the contract, the other stuff is either just extra heads that I know are going to get used up in the course of the summer, or some hard body swimbaits that I have decided to finally quit being as old fashioned about and start incorporating into my arsenal when the opportunity for giant fish presents itself.

Good to know about those biospawn baits, my buddy is on a constant search for another paddle tail bait

It's an anomalous event thusfar, but I tore through an entire pack in an hour and a half on the Columbia, managed to restore 4 out of that package with Mend-It this weekend to one degree or another, but I ordered a whole bunch more just to see if I can replicate it with any predictability.

I may have incurred the wrath of the BM. Went to Academy and only bought one jig and one pack of soft plastics. Got a 1/2 oz. black/blue Hack Attack jig and a pack of Zoom Z Craw worms in California 420. 
 

I got out cheap but May pay the price later lol.

Brian, I’m proud of you. And what you have there will catch fish.

That's the most dangerous buying kick.

At least your wallet will be lighter! ???

Fished for four hours this morning. Tough, tough bite. Only one strike that produced one dink. But it was on a Z Craw lol.

These megadogs are dangerous though, a guy could catch his wallet on a cast and send it right out into the watah!

Got some TK KO's in today. Hoping they're close to the real thing. If nothing else, I have 4 spare tails and lips for my actual TK.

Me and @JWall14 made a JDM reel purchase, some of our first real high end gear. The rods will come next when they come in stock :)
