The Bait Monkey got me for a few this week.  The Megabass White Butterfly is one the best colors I've seen.  I know the bass don't care but man, I wish I would have bought two of each. 

 

 

 

I like it. Is that a new color? Kind of a muted version of White Python.

Newest respect color. The pink hit on the chin looks looks great. Reminds me of their THU white walker custom.

Similar, with less black in cracks and it has like a soft touch matte finish. It also has a hit of a pinky orange under the lip.

Definitely looks like white walker.

 

Very cool looking but....  the one that will catch the most fish will be the Evergreen CR-10 in Red Spawn.  The CR-10s have out produced most of my other full size crankbaits.

Picked up a couple CR-10s that Amazon was selling for half price recently, unfortunately one was a return that someone had swapped a generic crank into.

Amazon made it right, was just funny opening the package and seeing this junk.

Took advantage of a few sales going on out there on the ol' worldwide web. Not sure what's going on with the Bait Fuel. It's always been clear for me. I wonder if it's old? Anybody else ever get any that has a slight yellow/brown tint to it? 

 

 

Nice haul @NorthernBasser, unfortunately I can’t help you with the Bait Fuel issue, but I think you’re on the right track. I’m of the Pro Cure, Megastrike discipline when it comes to scents for fishing.

I do use Megastrike as well, which I like. Never heard of Pro Cure before. I'll have to check that out.

Well dang it, I'm gonna have to get one this winter now.

It's part of the Respect Series. It will be a one time offering. When it's gone, it's gone. 

So I finally got my Birthday Box my wife bought from The Hook Up Tackle and for $100, I don't think I've seen a better deal, especially for OSP baits.  The 4 packs of dice and the 5 packs of beavers alone are worth it. All together I got 25 packs of softplastic.  The only thing that might be a bust is the micro MMZ worms. They are smaller in diameter than a spaghetti noodle.

The crawfish version is greasy and smells like a horse's azz. I keep a small spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol with me to wash the stank off my fingers after I use this stuff. 

Scheels clearance rack, $9.99 each.

Looks like Scheels is starting up the dump of open-water gear in preparation for ice-fishing season.

I hate it when they do that. I think they lose a lot of business with at model, including mine.

Been a fan of Bizz Baits since they were a site sponsor here a number of years ago. I haven't bought much tackle this year, but I saw they had some good looking stuff in their custom shop, including some limited-run plastic colors and "Fall Fry" triple willow spinnerbait:

I went window shopping at a sporting goods retailer in my area today NOT intending to purchase anything and left $28.04 dollar's behind but I feel good about my purchase as I believe you should buy what you like as long as your finances allow "treat yourself" every so often

Got the new KGB 'Lil Guy" in Threadfin.    Missed the first couple drops of this bait, but finally scored one.    It's so much smaller than any other glide I own.   The Chad Shad makes it look like a morsal 🤣

If that doesn't tempt the most leery bass into eating, nothing will. That sucker looks real. 

@NorthernBasser  Absolutely brother, I think it's the most realistic swimbait I own.  

 

The first run ever on this bait was a Bluegill pattern that was incredible, sure hope they do another run in that color.     They might have been the most realistic small bluegill bait I've ever seen.  

 

It's .8oz and 4.5", it has the same hooks as 110 Jrs have 😁   Think I'm going to upgrade them to a bigger size or at least use STX 38s on them.   

Bait Monkey will not get me into expensive swimbaits, bait Monkey will not get me into expensive swimbaits, bait Monkey will not get me into expensive swimbaits.

 

There, I said it like Dorthy.  It has to come true.

And the Flying Bait Monkey says you're dreamin', just like Dorothy was.

 

 

 

I should not be allowed to watch any more YouTube videos.

 

JDM Expride 6'10 Medium, OneTen +1 Jr. in Frosted Wakasagi and ITO Clear Laker, and the Zumverno 95 SP in ST Purple and S Smelt.

 

I'm going to pair the Expride with a Curado 71 MGL but I might keep it braid to leader for now.

Stay away from SwimbaitUnderground. His granddaddy, the bait silverback hangs out there most days…
