Sure! I haven't fished one yet as they were bought for a trip up north that never happened. Clear water and skiddish smallmouth were on the agenda. Sadly my local lakes offer neither of these items so I haven't felt the need to use them. If you try them and like them shoot me a PM. I will check my rigging supplies to see what might work best.

My last order probably this year if I don't get bit. This all came from FishAndSave. I have never used a Brawley lure that I knew of. Of course I have yet to fish one but I have to say those jigs are a steal at .80 a pop. Really nice skirts and they are a lot closer to where I run mine in length than those really long ones. I'm just guessing but I would say these are about 1/4 past the hook. Others I get usually are about 1/2 inch and I trim to my liking but these I could run just the way I got them and be OK with it. Also I never had a Nichols chatterbox pretty much their version of a chatterbait. They look pretty nice as well.

 

Only 2 disappointments one was the stack jars the bottom 2 were chipped and the Strike King spinner bait skirt was a sticky mess. Appears to be some cheap rubber skirt material. This whole order at my door was $22.86 I figure that is a pretty sweet deal.

 

The X-fast Z Bone came in yesterday. If it fishes as good as it feels, I will definitely be getting another.

I opted for the 3 power...7'1". With a Steez 100HLA it feels amazing.

Another Curado joins the fleet.

 

Good choice! Swimbait/A-rig reel maybe?

Did you order the Megastrike baits directly from Megastrike or somewhere else? I would love to get a few more packs of their baits to try but the color selection is somewhat lacking...

Directly from MS, it's the only way I could get all the baits on 1 order.

SV spool arrived for my custom Alphas. Working on finishing the reel up tonight. Would have been done last night but encountered a few problems... Pics to follow.

this week, 3 dragonfly baits , 3 packs of stand up yabbies, and a jake from River To Sea, an ABT Black Camo Rat...a *** Crius coming in tomorrow and Friday buying an Abu Morrum...pretty good week!

I haven't been able to fish lately which has meant that all I have been able to do is think about fishing... The results of all that *thinking*:

TD-Z 103 ML with Steez 103 spool http://www.ichibantackle.com/viewbigimage.asp?imagepath=picture/tdz103ml_0723_2_2.jpg

Then there are the ZPI RC-002S and Steez 105 SV spools that I found on one of the forums I frequent. Now I'm on the hunt for a couple of rods... It's a vicious but fun circle ;-)

Can I ask what you paid for the TDZ with Steez spool? I have a 103ml with Steez 100 spool myself.

I paid $112 including EMS shipping from Japan, it has the Steez 103 spool in it though, the one with the Type R+ inductor.

Dang that's a deal. I paid $95 just for the reel. Which was still a good price. Spool was free so I didn't spend anything there.

It's a great deal, especially considering it's in pretty good shape and that spool alone would cost me $75.

Finally, a Bass Fishing Store in my local area that stocks some high quality baits, with an Owner who actually knows about bass fishing. I was able to pick up a few things I've been wanting for quite a while and haven't been able to find until now...

Dang nice! It's not often that one can pick up a huddleston in store!!

The little guy is new, gonna use it as a tail spinner on a swimbait, lol.

"crash n' splash" does actually sound like a bait though!

Y'know, part of me longs for a local guy that carries such items but deep inside I know I'd be completely screwed if one did open up close enough for me to frequent.  

Guys, this page may be pretty overrun with new tackle I've bought this fall. We're getting a Cabela's on September 30th. Oh boy...

TW order just showed up.

 

More Gliss line (moving almost all my spinners to this....)

7Lb Sniper

Poor Boy Gobies (road trip coming up.....)

a bunch of Roboworms

some of those Fuji hook keepers I've been meaning to buy for months.

Also, I'm looking for some 4kg Gliss in green/150yd but it seems to be sold out all over.  Anybody know where I can score a spool?
