I have hunting for this unicorn for awhile. 

 

I’m not a top of the line gear kind of guy and I prefer Daiwa….. but even I got to say d**n that’s beautiful ?

They are beasts. They have no weak link. You can throw them into whatever and they come out every time. And they're also very durable too. 

 

Sorry, I'll find a room.

We will see how they do for me in the morning after work tonight. They definitely seem well built.

There were no horses under sheets in this tale, but Don @SproDD79 made me an offer I couldn't refuse...

 

Thanks!

It's always a good thing when BR members can help each other out.

Nice haul.

So I finally bit the bullet: the new Shimano Conquest DC 100HG!

FWC finally sent me one of the Bass Pro gift cards from the TrophyCatch program. Yadda yadda yadda, 20 minutes later I have a few new baits that should be here Wednesday.

 

Picked up two Berkley Stunnas (gold and table rock), two Booyah One Knockers in flashy momma (to replace one I broke off earlier this year), a Red-Eyed Shad in blue gizzard shad (also a replacement for one I broke off two days after the Booyah), and trying out that 3" Savage Gear Pulse Tail RTF Bluegill in pumpkinseed. Don't have pumpkinseeds here but it's a dead ringer for a shellcracker IMO. That 3" size should be really good right now as those smaller sunfish are schooling up hard at the moment.

 

Second part of the order showed up today. Made a couple of casts with the Stunnas in the canal out back just to see, they look great in the water but sink a tiny bit faster than I expected. Not a problem, though. Hardware is solid, but they have the rear treble backwards IMO, I prefer the point facing up instead of down on the rear ones. Split rings feel great, a size smaller than I typically use but pretty stout, only thing I did besides turning the rear treble around was swap the line tie for an oval split ring.

 

The little 3" Savage Gear bluegill looks fantastic, but I didn't get to cast it much to check out the action. Picture quality is bad, I know (damaged phone), but the colors look fantastic in person. Very much a spot on shellcracker imitation. I can definitely see myself checking out the 4" version as well as the 4" Baitfish RTF if these perform well.

Picked up some more environmentally friendly jigs from Jades Jigs. The underspins look awesome. They have great customer service and worked with me to get all my jigs unpainted to save a few bucks since I lose more than a few jigs. 

After promising myself that I wasn't going to buy anymore tackle, the bait monkey reached out a snatched me up this morning! I dropped my wife off at the local hospital where she works for an MRI. She suggested that I run by Walmart to pass the time. They had these new 3.5" HD Tackle (never heard of them) "Ned-Mites". They also come in 5". Anyway, 12 packs later I'm sitting in the parking lot wondering why I'm so weak. Have any of you heard of H D Tackle?

I misspelled "after". How does one do that?

Yep....I purchased a boat load of their finesse jigs for a steal at Sierra.  Good products...

Received my fishing skirts unlimited order.  Those big 100 tab bags were on sale for $8 ..BW was $10.  I love making my own jigs....my 70 strand skirts are the shizz.  I'll post some finished products in the tacklemaking section soon.

 

Few orders came in.

Put in a small order with @Siebert Outdoors-2 compact tandem spinnerbaits, 4 packs on morel EWG heads 2-1\16oz &2-3\32oz and a SO decal. Figured I've ordered from the dude a ton over the past 3-4 years time to rock a decal and do some promoting for him!

Picked up a modest selection.

Just to see what the deal is.

Interested in hearing your review on these

Mattlures hammertail crappie,  baby hardgill. Been admiring these from afar for a long time,  hope they live up to the hype.

Mattlures Meat Head Deep Diver

 

Another mail call.  Picked up my first dark sleeper ( should have gotten the 1/2) and 3 tiny OG’s from fish USA.  On pay day I’ll buy some full sized OG’s.  Also, picked up a war eagle river rat spinner, should be good for this spring 

Smallmouth look out 

Very small order but it’s an interesting one. This is for… wait for it…. Trout. Brook Trout in particular. They will gobble this size shad rap.

I'm very curious about what you're referencing here - can you expand a little? Maybe this is something I need to also be looking at
