The spare bedroom is my tackle room, but it also holds all my extra clothes, shoes, and cannabis.  Picked up a rush creek round 16-rod rack from Sierra trading to hold my overflow, but I still have a few rods without a permanent spot.  Dusted and even pulled my tubs from under the bed to clean, and snapped a couple pics.  I'll do a reel expose' soon.

Picked up the bookcase at home depot to house my boxes.  80% of 3700/3701's are crankbaits.

Tubs of spare plastics, hooks, etc.

I'm a crankbait junky, so what are my prized cranks?  Definitely my WEC's.  This is all but 4 sweet pea's that reside in my finesse box.

I grow my own smoke, so I have quite a stash.

I wanna see the reels that go on those high dollar rods.......you think you'll ever fish it all, or do you just enjoy collecting some of the stuff.     You got a very impressive collection.

My freedom level isn't high enough to comment on the Oregano 😁

I have a few limited versions of the frame I like ('16 zillion/'17 Tatula), but I'm a rod guy.  All my rods are different and each has a certain technique it excels at.   If I'm fishing a bottom contact bait, 90% of the time I'm grabbing one of my Concept Z's (yea...the bright orange deal).  They are small and I can get all my fingers above the rod's trigger, gaining agility.  Plus, I paid $107 for all of them.  I didn't buy anything to collect dust, but I have retired my zoom crankbaits.  Black label has remade most/all of them, so it was an easy decision.  Backstock plastics and duplicate crankbaits will probably be around after I'm gone.  My philosophy is "I'd rather die with 20 extra packs of brush hogs I paid $2.37 for, than buy any at $5.49."

Twitchbaits are my favorite lure. They accept every single work, some of them even giving a slightly wiggling, when cranked. 

 

My basic strategies for them avries between the classical twitching, jerking and slashing. The ones are floating/topwater. Cast, twitch-jerk-slash, floating, repeat... The darting action makes Peacock basses crazy! 

 

The two lures in the right corner are a popper-dogwalker/jumping minnow hybrid and a glow crankbait.

I decided to sell my Aldebaran MGL 50 HG and replaced it w/ the Curado MGL 150. I'm really liking the balance of it paired w/ my NRX+ 842C MBR, the increased line capacity, the feel of it, and the aesthetics.

I fish primarily from a kayak so I only bring 4 combos with me at any time.  This is my main 4 for this season so far.  

 

Megabass P5 Destroyer Kirasame Kameyama Special stinger tip w/ Exsence Ci4 3000

 

Loomis NRX 852c w/ Shimano Aldebaran 51

 

Shimano Zodias MH w/ Daiwa PXL type R

 

Megabass Perfect Pitch w/ Shimano Exsence DC XG.

I also swap out the Perfect Pitch a lot for my Evergreen Combat Stick Wakebait rod if heavy cover isn’t a thing where I’m headed and I want to throw bigger swimbaits instead of frogs and jigs.  
 

Might eventually swap out that Zodias for something else but it’s hard to find a 3/8-1ozish rod that has so much sensitivity and good taper for moving baits so it’s staying for now.

Sweet.  I picked up 2 of those Essence ci4's a couple months ago, and have been impressed.  Actually went back to japan lure to grab another, but they were gone :(

I got mine off FleaBay, shipping was fast and the price was very reasonable.  The reel is almost too light lol with the short butt section of that rod it’s inherently tip heavy and that reel doesn’t help balance it very much.  Thankfully I’m usually a “pinky behind the reel seat, everything else in front” gripper so right in the sweet spot.

I have one brand new. It's much heavier than I was expecting and would like to sell it if you

are interested. Send me a PM.

Broke my DC704c a few weeks back. I got some advice from the folks at Dobyns and others on here who commented on my thread. I decided to upgrade to the DX704c which showed up yesterday.

I bought my first spinning setup and I'm amped to use it! I have the G. Loomis NRX+ 842S SJR paired w/ the Shimano Stradic FL 2500.

My first ever St. Croix Rod (Premier Bass Pro Exclusive 6'-6" Med light). It's not a high-end rod or anything but man this thing is pretty dang sensitive. Paired it with Stradic FL1000 and I loving this setup!
