Picked up an Evergreen Combat Stick for wake baits/rats and finally pulled the trigger on a couple Buzbe Qube bags. Not sure they're worth their higher than it seems like they should be price, but I am appreciating the number of plastics they can hold for my day bag on the deck.

Replenished a bunch of plastics with Omnia's buy 2 get 1 free deal.

@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.

I just got it, Use it few times at home and it was ok, The Glow in the dark is not really glowing but it cuts the braided lines and other lines very well. Also what I like about it is the clamp that you can clamp to the hat or pocket or etc... Overall I am happy with it and it is a keeper. Remember I was boomerang line cutter user for long and they are really good cutters as well and that's why I bought the second one.

I've been testing out the Evo Elite chatterbait with the Freeloader as a trailer. So far I've been very impressed.

Forgot my rod (yea I know can you believe it? ) when I went to my inlaws (they have a place on a lake)  and was forced to suffer and stare at the water. Decided to pick up a "cheap" combo to keep there with a very modest selection of baits. 

 

Was going to get a combo at academy but they had no left handed ones and for the cost I felt I could build one better. Tacklewarehouse just so happened to have the SpeedSpool and Ark Catalyzer rod on sale and got this setup in for 120 to my door. Put some 12# YoZuri hybrid on there and called it a day. Really excited to fish this actually.

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.

Yessir. I love Siebert's Northern Craw color as well for imitating gills.

Oh, I likey.

If I get snipped off by a pike, you may not ever hear from me again because I’ll have a cardiac on the water.

I've had to replace 3 Rattlin Raps the past two seasons cause of pike stealing them.

Losing lures to pike is only funny when it happens to someone else.

 

Once it happens to you, there isn’t much laughing going on. It’s mostly just profanity followed by sadness.

And here i am over here trying to catch pike in the one lake near me that has them and have only gotten 1 small pike in the past 3 years...

Maybe i should just tie on a Jackhammer and think about catching bass, do you think that would work? Or do i have to use something more expensive? You guys in MN seem to have the experience im looking for about pike.

I don’t want to derail this thread since it’s a tackle monkey purchase thread. I’ll PM you on some pike advice.

Try an A rig made with two Mega bass vision 110's and 3 jack hammers.

Has anybody used these new TRD Fattyz.  They are a tackle warehouse exclusive.  These are 3.25" not like the other 5" fattyz so designed to be ned rigged.20240509_164201_optimized_500.jpg.780e4ab4a58c5b5d708b236f4bd9dbf5.jpg20240509_164229_optimized_500.jpg.9ee8f8273134c8b0e96b60100626be29.jpg

I like the Ark Tharp series so much, I decided to give the new Invoker Tour a look. I still love my Expride's, Orochi's etc, but there are some real gems to be had nowadays in the less expensive group. The Tharp is definitely one of them, and I'm willing to bet the Invoker Tour won't disappoint, either.

 

It's a 7' MH/XF. It comes in at a very impressive 4.05 oz. That's lighter than my 7'1 MH Kistler Helium (NFC blank) which weighs 4.10 oz. Another thing I love about these rods is the hook keeper. Probably my favorite style.

I tried many braid cutters, Pitbull Tackle is the best I've found.

I finally got my hands on one of the new slx mgl hg reels, I wanted to compare them to the older ones that were great reels. I spooled it up with fresh 12lb sniper. I was going to try the new r-18 line but I couldn’t justify the price of it.

That thing looks pretty dang nice.  Weight is right up there with sensitivity for me.  TW has $1k Evergreen Synergy rods I wouldn't even sniff at the JDM price because of high weight (7'M 1/4-1oz = 6oz!)
