Couple of Deps 250s and a few 8 inch huddlestons. Got some slammers too. Small collection. But always growing. 

That's the best way to start out. Buy a few proven baits and fish them hard. You'll know before long if it's for you or not and it allows you to really learn a bait. 

What reel is that?

Looks like diawa hd.

Heres mine

sadly...lo n slo misread the thread title and was expecting hotties in bikinis. carry on

I started like 6 months before I deployed but then had so much to do that I didn't get out much except to my desert donkey farm lol and didn't want to use them there it is super muddy lake. Got 2 over 6 on slammers but then had to leave. Hopefully I can capitalize this season. I been researching swim baits for probably 12 years when I first saw low budget hookers smashing them in Rhode Island on slammers. I took the plunge finally lol

Unfortunately place is closed down right now. Some rich dude bought all 3 lakes and is cleaning th place up. Guess he used to fish there in the last 10-15 yrs when u could catch 10lbrs every trip out. But then the netters found out about it in the last 5 yrs. place isn't the same from what I'm told. I mean ya I caught Hawgs last year but I'm told 50lb limits were common before social media ruining th place and netters finding out about it. Soooo dude is cleaning place up, put like 175 trail cams, having Arizona game and fish and cops out there and going to have to pay to get in. He wants to make it a nice place for the regular bass fisherman again. My buddy went out there this summer and he said every night he went the same group of professional netters as he calls thm were pulli there nets with 20+ 5-8lbrs every time out. It was disgusting he said.
