Received my lightning rod from pure fishing ($39/clearance).  It's a 6ft M.  Should be an awesome jerkbait and topwater rod...wish I'd have purchased 2.

I don't know what it is, but when I see that style of pistol grip rod it's like I'm watching it on an old vhs tape where a man with mustache in oversized aviator rims and embroidered BASS patches on his vest talks about fishing

    This is an extension from the 'Picking Out New Baits' thread in which I said my wife and boy were bass bait shopping for my birthday.  They done good.

Go Hank!!

The JDM monkey has hit me pretty hard recently. Just got a Poison Adrena in to pair with a JDM Exsence and a Certate LT, now all I get to do is stare at them all winter and use them as fidget spinners until the newly frozen lakes thaw out ?

Shipping was much faster this time for my Jack-E Hamm-Aaa's

worked out to be only $2.72 each all in.

I feel the pain, brother. 4 JDM reels, 3 Victory and 2 Mojo rods...and it'll be March at the earliest before I see open water again.

The Certate LT is nothing short of brilliant.   Used it for a couple days now and caught a single fish on it today, but as you already know......it's next level refinement, fitment, smoothness, and design.    It's easy to find yourself just admiring the reel while fishing with it.    

 

That Exsence is beautiful, and I imagine very similar.   

 

Those are so sexy, I'd stare at them all winter too :)

You can't find them. I've searched.

With my lakes having ice cover, my bass season is officially over for 2022. To console myself I did a little TW order.

First BF-sale delivery of completely unnecessary super necessary stuff.? I'll find out tomorrow if this stick will help to really send a 1/32oz weighted TRD out to smile-making distances.

Still waiting for the first installment of my TW order to get here...but this arrived today.

Found a place online that was divesting itself of old stock. This was still New-In-Box...$90

Nice find. I have the 7 speed. Bought it new about 4 years ago. Used it a few times. Was thinking about changing out the handle. Somewhere along the way I stripped the reel nut or something...I don't exactly remember now. I stuck it in it's box and pretty much forgot about until I just saw your post just now. It is a nice reel.

And Round #1 of TW shipments is in - Round #2 should be here middle of next week

Flashbacks fill in my chatter weight-grouping - already had 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in my box

Bull Gill gives me 3 colors of that - already had Bluegill and Crappie.

1st of two Mojo rods - it was either 2 Mojos or 1 more Victory...didn't have enough for 2 more Victorys...this replaces my Fury 703SF which is moving to the panfish arsenal.

I think you’ll like the mojos. I’ve got three of them.

I hate those Flashback Minis.....they don't catch any fish at all ?

I've always loved Pflueger - for casting I have a President XT 7.3, a Supreme 7.1, this Supreme XT 6.4, a Patriarch 7.1 and a Patriarch 7.9

I have the President XT 7:1 as well and a Supreme XT 7:1. Both joys to fish with. For a reel <$100 I don’t think the President XT can be beat.

Well, considering I got my two Patriarchs used for under $100 each... :devil1:

Not had any luck at the pond with swim baits but those Bull Gills look mighty tempting. The Baby Bull Gills are on clearance now at TW. Trying to not fall under the bait monkey’s spell again. ?

Picked this up. Also won a free SLX 7” MH Casting rod from my local shop.
