@A-Jay,

  I think @RichF means:

I don’t throw hard baits much anymore, but I have quite a few pretty slick customs, mostly DT-6.

I get it ~ 

But that's a  very coveted spot and I'm waiting for one special bait to go on sale.

Which one ?

That guy on the far left needs a buddy.  It's throwing off the potential, aesthetic perfection of that box!

That'll do the job!

Homemade 1/4oz underspin and weedguard with a mini d chunk for the body

I think this ones pretty unique for a non-custom or handmade bait...and I bet I've caught over 100 bass on this particular bladed jig.

It's a Japanese brand called Kaesu.  That color is great because if you put a GP trailer it's more bluegill/sunfishy...White and it's a shad/shiner...and my favorite is GP/pearl like in this pic, which can be almost anything (I like the orange highlights because we have so many goldfish in the Potomac).

Sweet bait 

Is that the soft blade Tranquil ?

If so did you make the journey to the motherland ?

Seem that's the only way to get your hands on one here . . .

Yes it is.  I was lucky and found some for sale back when they first came out about 2 years ago.  Not cheap tho!

I like the versatility of it with just being able to swap trailers. I would throw a gp/orange Zako on it of it were mine, but I like that trailer you have.

That's a mighty cool jig. Wow. I think you put the bait monkey on A-Jay again as well as several others with that pic.

If I remember correctly, they cast like a potato chip. I can remember having some, can't remember catching anything except white bass trolling them.

That's pretty rad 

A few years ago I couldn't find anybody who sold a "baby largemouth" bladed jig, so I made one myself:

 

 

 

Jointed Pikie I found in an antique shop in the mountains. It had a $20 tag on it but talked them down to $10. I replaced the hooks with new split rings and trebles. I've tried it once to no avail. It's a pretty big hardbait at more than 7", about 2 oz.

I love this color. Never used the lure but this is just appealing to my eye.

Is that a Zoom Fluke or something else for the trailer?
