As is nearly every other tackle company on this planet.  Don't get sucked in.  Your shed has enough.

 

 

95% of the time I'm reaching for the black. Unless fishing really clear water. 

Going out next week to chase striper from a boat, so a few goodies are inbound 

New spinning setup..... Stradic 3000XG on a Levante Shakeyhead and I managed to score some D Braid in 15lb to wrap up the combo.    As always, Digitaka is amazing.  

 

Hopefully I don't like the D Braid too much since it's no longer made.   I've read bad reviews about the stuff that replaced it.   

 

There's talk on the street; it sounds so familiar

Great expectations, everybody's watching you

People you meet, they all seem to know you

Even your old friends treat you like you're something new

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town

Everybody loves you, so don't let them down

2 new baits to check out.

 

Picasso's new Titanium spinnerbait. Obviously has the titanium wire, but also a swinging head, which has it's pros and cons.

 

Also got the Toad Thumper Juggernaut Jig. This thing is an absolute beast of a heavy-cover jig. I won't be able to try it out until next year, but I can already tell this is going to be one impressive jig to throw around the gnarly stuff. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@NorthernBasser why the swing head on the spinnerbait?

For me the 2 main advantages is it makes it harder for the fish to throw it and they seem to always run true. The biggest con, I would think, is they aren't as weedless as traditional spinnerbaits. Especially going over laydowns. With the swinging head, it can roll over some, so it's not aligned with the wire, making it more likely to get caught up on wood, etc.

TW week 1 sale fun, minus the split ring pliers to replace a pair I lost last year.

FishUSA got me with the Greenfish Little Rubber jigs being in stock.

 

 

 

 

@Texas Flood Is that Mullet hair jig new to you?  Been looking at it for awhile.  The chicken jig is a big fish producer for me in the summer, just really like Northland's crappie and bluegill colors.

It is. Ive actually never used a hair jig before but I’ve wanted to for a while. Any tips?

@Texas Flood

For me; it's killer post spawn through summer.  I'll set up in 20-25' fow and throw it at the weedline/break trying to tightline surf it down through the tops of the hydrilla.  When it it hits bottom, 2-3 fast reel turns, rod pointed down still, tightline again till bottom.  Repeat.  It's also good on deep flats for me when bluegill are suspended. Same bomb cast, tightline, reel rips.   @WRB put me on to a cps spring and a 2" piece of a trick worm as a weedguard.  When the bite is on; it's a big fish bait.  No dinks mess around with it, and the bite is an obvious thunk.  Can't miss it.  I like a longer rod, loomis 904mbr is my fave.  There's some Seth Feider vids out there pimping the chicken jig.  Good luck!

TW’s Black Friday 20% off sale is ongoing.

Took advantage of pretty steep discount Kistler was having on a few of their Chromium rods/reels. The rods and reels 'retail' for $300. I put that in parenthesis because as we all know, they're always having sales. Are these on the same level as other $300 rods/reels? Eh, I wouldn't say that. But getting the reel for $89 and rod $99, that's a steal IMO. The cork on these rods feel so nice to the touch, I almost didn't wanna seal it. Lol. 

 

 

 

 

New Academy had their grand opening sale in Fort Myers, so I snagged some pretty good deals while I was there. Baits and lures were all buy one get one 50% off, so I snagged some Zakos since I was running low, picked up some 6th Sense Provoke jerkbaits to try out, some MiniMax chatterbaits, and some Yamatanukis.

 

Took advantage of the TW 20% off on rods and plastics. I’m excited to try out the Black Bass

I gave you a like, but you need to spread it out on the counter and get funny looks from your wife like the rest of us.

Nice...that reel is on my list.

If two of my most productive patterns,

GG Perch OB and M Western Clown could be crossed ~

M ENDMAX might be the result.

Let us not forget 

After a short scrap with a little hairy midget I managed to escape walmart with my wallet mostly intact, found some big game in an interesting coastal brown color which might help for Floridas tannic colored waters, we shall see.
