I too am a fan of Deep Creek Lures.

 

FYI, if anyone's been waiting - FishUSA has stock of Drift Frys, 4" and 5.2". I just bought a handful because, because :)

I stopped at my local tackle shop today and showed unbelievable, super hero, power of restraint.  Take that Monkey.

 

 

Things I probably should have bought during the 20% sale but whatever, the monkey has sharp claws.

I haven’t found a use for the 3.5” spunk shad. What are you going to use it for? I’m guessing I could throw it on a chatterbait mini?

It’s weird because I have chatterbaits that I have used for ten years, but let me pick up some jackhammers and I lose them within two months. So I bought two more this week along with 4 packs of Freeloaders and a pack of Senko.

 

A month ago I ordered the new 8:2 version of the Shimano SLX XT 150XG. I didn’t have an 8x in my arsenal but didn’t want to spend $300 on a reel. I heard a lot of rave reviews from iCast about this reel and the major component upgrades over the previous version. For $99 it sounded like a deal I couldn’t pass up.

Yep primarily mini max trailers. I do have some little range roller heads somewhere too so maybe try strolling them one of these days.

Really good on finesse jigs and on little jig heads in shallow clear water.  I fish them from the bank and they are skunk beaters on really tough days.

I’ll have to try that. I’ve only ever used them as trailers, to which I believe they are awesome! When I’m in/around Chattanooga, I’ll stop into Hog Farmer and stock up. 

Just showed up to my front door.

I mean..not a fan of a looks, and not a solid feel like stella. I cant wait how this perform on a small topwater 😁

 

The crack....

What's the deal with this stuff, have you used it before?

 

Been wanting to make my own "Taku powder".  

Reminds me of when I was a little kid, and my buddy's dad would coat pieces of ham with grape koolaid powder for fishing.

 

I remember thinking "I'd eat that."

I’ve got some on the way. I also have a weak ass stomach so I might have to add some blueberry pancake mix like Ito does for the smell. 

Been scouring the interwebs for a while hunting a couple of these down.

We went Mission complete a couple of minutes ago.

Warbaits monkey is a fickle beast

 

Buzzbaits look very nicely built, as do the jig heads. I expected the spinnerbaits to be much more robust wire by website description, but wanted to try the unique colors.

Oh boy... they make that color in many of their lures. Looks dangerous.

Don't tell anyone,

but it most certainly is for me.

I have a craw lure similar to that one, but I don't know who makes it. Have to dig it up and check it!

Color doesn’t matter to me. But, according to my wife, all I do is collect them anyway!  The bait monkey and my wife aren’t on talking terms currently. So, I might as well know the color.

Color is my Daddy.

Haha - thanks for the clarification! I figured that so…
