Got a special order from Mike Siebert on the way too and I'm pumped for that to arrive this week 😎👍🏼 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're too heavy for bass fishing, IMHO. They're S - Glass for catfishing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmurphy87 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 3 packs of flukes in various white colors 1 pack 3.5 dolive beaver 1 pack 1/16 brass bullet weight 1 pack 1/32 bullet weight 1 pack 1/64 bullet weight seems like finesse and power fishing all in one package, lately I have been a sucker for white baits. Although I did resist buying a couple different vision 110 in a color that I don’t have including a matte white stain reaction, gill colors. It was very hard but I have way too many jerkbaits as it is. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User NorthernBasser Posted May 3 Super User Share Posted May 3 Got another Expride B. 7'2 MH/F. I had read that the B's are stiffer than the A', but comparing it to my A of the same model, it almost seems a tad softer. I absolutely love these rods. I'm glad they finally added a hook keeper, but I HATE where they put it. I also have the 6'10 M model that I'll use for jerkbaits. Reaching down to drab it off the deck and getting 110 hooks in your hand isn't much fun. Got a few of the Ark Cobb series rods. I really like the Ark Tharp series. Great rods at their price point. So when I saw Ark had a BOGO deal on the Cobb's, I figured what the heck. I didn't need them, but for $50 a pop, I decided to check them out. These are the cheapest rods I own (retail $100), so to be honest I wasn't expecting a whole lot. But I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised at how light they are and how well they fish. I decided on the 7'1 Buzz Burner and 7'4 Walking Stick. I thought they were black from looking at websites, but when the sun hits them just right, you can see they're actually green. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted May 3 Super User Share Posted May 3 Lots of hopeless addicts in this thread including myself, but I always think hey you're not that bad off.......just look at @NorthernBasser 🤣 I have no doubt he has a better selection than some brick-and-mortar tackle stores. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User NorthernBasser Posted May 3 Super User Share Posted May 3 Guys, it's gotten so out of control you have no idea. It's flat-out embarrassing at this point. The wall is full so now I have tubs/totes full of new tackle. I don't even know what I have anymore. It honestly causes me anxiety. 🤦♂️ I have been giving some stuff away to random kids I see fishing at the ramps or along the river in my town. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watch a couple episodes of American Pickets, where dudes have separate buildings just for all their collectables. You'll see you aren't that bad. Plus, pegboard spreads them out to maximize the visual monkey. So don't do anything drastic. The fact I have a bunch of crap keeps my buying to a minimum. All better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyduty Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 @ATA, I'd like to get your thoughts on the "Line Cutterz" you have pictured once you get a chance to use them. Been eyeballing them for a while but haven't pulled the trigger yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Brown Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Mike @Siebert Outdoors came through as always with some straight 🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵🥵 Got some snipers in my clear water Pats Gizzard, some snipers in our new 'Mud Gizzard' which is a chartreuse variant of the clear water color that I'm VERY stoked to throw on big lake this summer 😎 I got Northern Craw and Mud Craw which are absolutely incredible sunfish colors if you've got Sunny's with muted oranges and purples with blue or orange hues. Absolutely incredible for mimicking the late spring time craws around here - particularly the Northern Craw which nails the ones my son has been finding. Got them pictured here with Zoom Speed Craw and Strike King Scounbug - my favorite finesse jig trailers. Dig it. The Pats Gizzard caught me my biggest fish last month at 6.3 lb in gin clear water so it works as intended. 😎 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishTax Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 @Siebert Outdoors finesse jig is the ticket. Caught one yesterday on mine and have more coming in my next order I think. One of my favorites! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
