It’s only certain colors but it’s still a wide variety. For ones that are typically almost $6/pack these are a no brainer if you like Gambler. I’ve crushed largemouth on swim jigs recently. Love how these get the secondary action from the skirt. Not the most durable but manageable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User LrgmouthShad Posted June 4 Super User Share Posted June 4 Ordered 10x Coda Apex Jigs for dock skipping in NC soon. TX-based small company. Wire-tied jigs with owner jungle hooks and a little shorter skirts that flare well. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User NorthernBasser Posted June 4 Super User Share Posted June 4 Had a few rods that were without reels, so of course I had to remedy that. The 70 and 150 Curado MGL's are some of my favorite reels out right now. Also have another Daiwa Tatula 80 on the way (also fallen in love with this one). Of course I had to grab a few of the new TW exclusive black/blue Jackhammers. As you can see, the head and blade are both matte black, as opposed to the regular black/blue. Also, the skirt is all black with a little bit of blue glitter sprinkled in. Much less blue in it compared to the regular version. With 4" Z-Man Diezel Minnowz. One of my absolute favorite Chatterbait trailers. These don't have any crazy kick like most paddletails. Not sure about this Rick Clunn Trickster spinnerbait. I'm curious to see if a) the blades will tangle up with the hook and b) the bent wire that close to the hook will hurt hookups. I'm a swim jig nut. So I'm always messing around with new trailers. Curious to see how the 4" Z-Man Swimmerz do. This particular color (Gold Rush) matches up nicely with @Siebert Outdoors Shot Caller in Black Green Pumpkin color. Should be great in some of the really stained lakes around here. I also bought some of the Z-Man Midwest Finesse Swim Jigs and paired them up with the 3" Z-Man Minnowz. These are some sweet little morsels. The smallies sure love them. Here's a size comparison to the Shot Caller/4" trailer. 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be real curious how it will work. I wouldn't be very optimistic, but these things can be surprising. Most of those beads seem kind of pointless since the wire is horizontal, and just unnecessary top weight. And obviously the front one isn't doing its job. Tackle Warehouse has a "Luck-E-Strike Trickster Spinnerbait" that looks mostly the same but it doesn't have that extreme bend, and it has a different style front bead. Rick Clunn isn't mentioned on that one. Weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck one of my friends from work who is just getting into fishing has gotten some great deals from me. Like a kage spinning rod and a ballistic reel for $100 and I loaded him a 3700 tray with high end top waters, crank baits, frogs and buzz baits and jigs even chatter baits along with various plastics all for $80. I like helping people get into the sport and having good gear. 2 hours ago, KP Duty said: I read that the dopamine spike you get from making a purchase can last over 48hrs....longer than any illicit drug.

You know it, maybe that’s why I like crawling and hopping around on the 100-500 ton presses at work. Maybe I am a monkey lol, I didn’t even throw the lures that I bought yesterday. Planned on it but like normal, bring a lot use a little bit of stuff. Of course it doesn’t help that one of the most productive areas of the lake is a weed line to a break. Weightless senko for the win. Hard to fish but it works great, 10 fish per senko is not too bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew's doesnt even have that rod with those specs on their site(which of course I checked after I got the rod). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User gimruis Posted June 7 Super User Share Posted June 7 This is why I buy my rods in person at a store. Its a gamble online. And so is shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Flood Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I would prefer to buy it in person but none of the stores around here have a great selection of the rods I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
