    This is an extension from the 'Picking Out New Baits' thread in which I said my wife and boy were bass bait shopping for my birthday.  They done good.

Just fishing tackle stuff. From the fisherman, for the fisherman.

 

Picture a centerfold of a Jackhammer sprawled out, with a beautiful Zako trailer. That's enough to get any fisherman's blood pumping. It'll be called, OnlyFins.

Thankfully I can't find any deals on the JDM sites for - Abu Garcia Zenon MG-LTX BFS Casting Reel.  I really don't need it, shouldn't buy it, need something more practical, etc... must resist ~ help

Do they have any zillion HDs? 

On the first day of the BPS Spring Fishing Classic sale I picked up a Carbonlite Technique series Super Finesse 6’9” spinning rod and two Platinum series 2000 size spinning reels. The reels are made by Diawa. I’m a Shimano spinning reel guy, but decided to give this Platinum reels a try. Didn’t pick up any lures or soft plastics. I’ve got more lures and soft plastics than I’ll probably ever use.

Sort of yes and no, just really have not been buying a whole lot of stuff. I finally got another better paying job again. But mostly been trying to refine my taste a little bit lol. The monkey is still there though.

Got in an order of soft plastics from one of my favorite small time bait makers.

Went to The Palmetto Sportsman’s Classic today. Every year they have some good deals. I met Joel with Fin-X rods. I bought a casting and a spinning rod. Came home and put reels on them. They balance nicely. I can’t wait to get them to the water.IMG_9473.jpeg.cadaa6071d2c979f6c846f0122f13994.jpeg

Thats all left there LOL

Went to the flea market this weekend. Kid(Literally he couldn't have been more than 18-19 with his mom there) had a table full of Super expensive premium and JDM baits. I paid 95 bucks and walked away with:

Megabass popmax in pearl

Berkley 7 inch Cull shad in natural shad

2 Vision 110+1 juniors in Pro blue

1 Vision 110+1 Junior in mat shad

1 Vision 110 in pro blue

1 Rapala Jowler in Wht(Been wanting to try out the jowler but wasn't gonna pay 20 bucks just to try it.)

3/8 blade baits 2 in Blk/blu, 1 in Chart/ wht

3 bags of minnow baits

 he had alot more cool stuff and he said he's gonna start setting up a table every week and I asked him if he wanted me to just set up a direct deposit or just take cash each week.😂

I stocked up on ribbon tail worms, and now the only worms I can get a bite on have straight tails.  Monkey always wins.

You know you’re in trouble when you have enough TW stickers to wall paper your bathroom.

I blame @A-Jay' s thread for this purchase. Hopefully they don't do as well as my standards or I'll be poor.

Has this Valleyhill trap been effective or are you trying it?

Weirdly no trap has been effective the last year or so for me. Striper just started eating it again for me this season so it will get a workout shortly. I tossed it around a bit last year but no takers. They were eating the lv500 last weekend and typically love an under spin swimbait so I have high hopes.

I know this was a while ago but how'd you end up liking those Burikins? How do they compare to the good ol' magdraft?
