My oldest grandson went fishing with me last week.   He was marveling over my DC reels.  (I bought used from a co worker who tried, but hates baitcasters)   I decided Monday I was going to give him one of them........then, it hit me.  I can't give him one without giving my other Grandson one.  So today I gave away both of my DC reels.   I'll need to replace at least 1 with something.   Pictures when I get something.   I'll be using a 30+ year old Quantum this weekend for my 4th reel.  

Got a couple of goodies from japan. Hairy dice and MMZ deka 13 inch worm. They both look fun as heck to fish.

Let me know how those dice are. Look like killers from what I’ve seen!

I thought the Cover Scat looked silly. Then the OSP Dice came along and all of a sudden the Cover Scat doesn't look so funny. But hey, if it works it works. And if the Dice works as well as the Scat, then it's definitely a winner.

 

Is it at least made of some form of that elaztech material? Because $15 for a 4 pack of those tiny things seems pretty insane. 

Alright. I need my browser to block Japanese tackle sites. Been tough to ignore so many top of the line baits at Wal-Mart prices with the current exchange rate.

I'm fairly certain that's a no on elaztech style plastic. I haven't had time to use them yet, but I can report back on durability and effectiveness when I do. 

 A little something at least 

1 spool 5lb fluorocarbon 

1 spool 15lb braid

2 packs 4.5 fat robo worms, bold bluegill, green punisher

1 pack choppers salty sinkers huckleberry 

1 pack trokar 3/0 finesse hooks

1 pack 3/0 rebar hooks

1 jackall frog black gill

1 6” mag draft albino shad

I needed line for my curado bfs and come out with all of this lol.

I succumbed to trying some "nicer" reels the last couple of weeks. 

 

Those Zillion HD's are slick.  My Zillion 10's have the same paint job.....me likey.

I see I’m not the only one that got the exceler. 

I have a Tatula 200 on the way. I wanted a replacement reel on my frogging/punching setup that had a large line capacity, propensity for long casts, and dependable drag without my usual regard for comfort since I ain’t bottom hopping. The tatula is what I landed on. Excited

I have one on my c-rig rod. You should love It.

Sweet ?

 

Of course pics will follow once it gets here

Picked up a Pro Qualifier 2 combo, 7'MF with the 7.5:1 reel, spooled it with 18lb Sniper and I think this thing should work pretty well for a dedicated plastics combo, guess we'll find out if the fish agree tomorrow morning lol.

Bait monkey and I are very very pleased with this. 
 

I like that Tatula. Feels good in hand and looks very functional. Sweet ?

...and the handle is on the "smart" side. So smart.

Well 131 and change goes along way during a 6th sense sale. Looking forward to trying the slow sink Quake lipless for fall and spring. The Quake suspending has done well for me. 

Got my custom painted bluegill bullshad back today.

In the middle of summer! ? That's pretty bad, I'm always just looking forward to "next month". You've got the right idea though, might as well dream big.

Same with myself in the spring working it almost like a jerk bait.  Think the majority of fish see so many suspending jerkbaits that a suspending lipless is different enough to get strikes.

 

 

Not sure about the Bait Monkey but the BFS Bug has been biting pretty hard.

That Nanahan has been ?. Works well with tiny schools of shad of everywhere this time of year.
