My wife saw it and said, "Well that one's pretty. ". Here is the odds and ends of my order. I had to try the Drift Fry. The YGK OLLTOLOS braid is a new one to me. It might have been a mistake. It's so slick, knots might be an issue. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmurphy87 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Some more BFS stuff that I am stocking up on. Some 1/16 keitech tungsten jig heads in #2,#3 and 1/0 some easy shiner 3” in shad, electric bluegill, light hitch. Then some 2.8 fat impact in light hitch and some odd little googan tubes for crappie. I will say that it’s very alarming how much a lot of these plastics weigh when you break the scale out lol. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for $50 less than the new Steez SV, I got the 21 shallow spool Steez Limited. I got the best of both reels and then some. It's crazy buttery smooth, like an Anteras but its probably half the weight. That thing is sweet...never noticed the black twing. I've added it to my list.

I'm a sucker for anything limited 🤴 I took it out today for a test run and it's pretty amazing. Casting is effortless and its smoother than the regular Steez SV TW. The coolest thing is the shallow spool. It's just different but in a good way, just can't explain it yet. Only downside, I got skunked so no fish on it yet. I have it paired with an NRX+ 894C JWR and 40lb YGK OLLTOLOS braid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User NorcalBassin Posted March 3 Super User Share Posted March 3 Ned rig has been the ticket for me the past few years each winter, and after it being the only thing they'd seem to consistently hit this winter I finally decided to get a dedicated setup. After a lot of research I went with the NRX+ nrr. I repurposed a Stella 1000 I had on my shakeyhead rod and the combo feels great (it better I suppose 😆) 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacedivision Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I kept the monkey at bay for a couple months, but I'm a weak man. Picked up a couple spools of line, and the new TB micro a-rig plus some 2.75 swammers.

My blue bladed one we talked about in an earlier post should arrive early next week. Just in time for pre-spawn action down here. 3/20 is the full moon. I'm a bit giddy. There's a few more on standby by as well. Box only holds so many and each bait has a 'lifespan'. (the shorter for better). These baits are basically replacements for my SK Burner collection that are a few years old. They served me well but between the brown bass & the pike, I can only re-tune them so many times before I lose confidence in their structural integrity. So we went for a re-boot. I really like that they offer compact & a full frame size baits with 4/0 & 5/0 hook respectively. These baits give me 'the feeling', which is almost always worth at least one over 6.

Super User LrgmouthShad Posted March 8 Super User Share Posted March 8 Magnum rage bugs, magnum uv speed worms, siebert shot caller swim jigs If you buy a shot caller jig, be aware you are getting a jig with a lighter wire. P.S I bought some spinnerbaits recently too. Love to see A-Jay’s. He is more generous than I am these days in showing what spinnerbaits I’m buying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User gimruis Posted March 9 Super User Share Posted March 9 Made my annual trip to Cabela's this morning to get angling and turkey hunting licenses, spool some reels, stock up on various tackle/line/hooks, and spend some gift cards. Strike King and Sufix line are 25% off, and Yamamoto are 20% off. I also got a new PFD that was 25% off and a Lew's Speed Rod/Reel BC combo for my Father that was $50 off (not pictured). 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is too old and stubborn to buy new things at his age and his equipment is failing. So I figured a combo for a Fathers Day/Birthday would work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmurphy87 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 A couple new rods, I got a decent deal on the zillion rod $266. Only time will tell if it is worth the difference compared to the tatula elite but for the price I figured that it was worth a shot. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Cgolf Posted March 13 Super User Share Posted March 13 Picked up some swimbait stuff and finally got my hands on the rage hawk. Have the goofy Zman rattle insert tool coming separately because I saw it in person and realized it fit my needs after this order shipped. The Omina membership thing is handy. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
