What's everyone buying this black Friday from tackle warehouse or any other place!?! Just got all this and it should set me up for getting more serious about dropshotting!

I depleted my hook supply this past season. I purchased some 25 packs of 3/0 ewg, 1/0 wide gap finesse, 1/0 offset worm hook, 1 drop shot hooks. 330 yards of yellow 10lb pp. a bone spook, white cavitron, some keitech salty sticks and Yamamoto white d shads. Wacky O rings, spike it and suspend strips. I think I'm good to go at this point. Just need to save up over the winter for a battery and jackplate and off I go!

Just ordered another Scorpion XT1000 and a 85mm ZPI Platinum Handle for my Antares AR from Japan Tackle. Also ordered some Power Grip II Knobs from Shimano.

I agree.

If you really want the 250DC, save up and get it and don't look back.

hey all Like it says first and best for me! I've been trying jigs off and on these past few weeks with No luck. I've been reading and came to a conclusion I'm doing it wrong lol I had been tossing the jig beside cover and stumps and Logs in the creek here with no luck Today I walked to the deepest widest spot I knew Threw it in the upper middle and let it sit 40 seconds gave a solid jerk and let it sit Began a slow twitch drag back to me The saying that practice makes an angler is true I have learned to distinguish the feel of a rock or a twig Hitting my jig When this fish bit it was dead center of this hole. The jig was slowing grinding and bouncing across the bottom And then it got heavy, there was no hi frequency vibration I associate with a stick or rock hang up So I gave her a solid jerk and held pressure Nothing Nothing Nothing Then old girl pulled back So exciting

How accurate was the 100 lb postal spring scale that alleged to weight the Perry bass....+/- 2 %? Graduation in 2 ounce increments, accuracy was typical for that type of scale. The Perry bass was never authenticated, it was grandfathered in from a Field & Stream fishing contest with nothing more than the applicants word. Kurita bass, no question of the weight and the IGFA should have waived their 2 oz rule because they didn't validate the Perry bass.Tom

Scored on a sweet assortment of LC SKT 105, 110 & 120's A-Jay

I'm waiting to see if TW offers their gift certificates at ten percent off. They have the past two years, and it' a great deal. For ninety dollars you get a hundred dollar gift certificate/card. Use it for items they never or rarely discount, or use them in conjunction with their sales and you really save some dough. As for what I got on Black Friday. I went to Home Depot and got, a 220 volt, fifty amp circuit breaker, a junction box, a junction box cover, clamp connectors, and 6 gauge wire nuts. In the next week or so, I have to install a built in double oven in our home. Now the only thing we need is the double oven.

Their sale "exclusions" included EVERYTHING I was interested in... oe

There will be a banner on the home page, you can click that and it adds the discount to your cart.

Float-n-Fly trout magnet is at it again! There was a little pond at the Christmas tree farm we went to...I couldn't resist

A good plug knocker/lure retriever is a much better investment.

You left out the most important thing for cold water fishing...a good life jacket. You can dress up all you want but if you go over with all those clothes and boots, ain't no way you're going to stay afloat. We want to hear about your fishing stories when you arrive home brother.

calm down.

My brother caught this 20 inch 6lb largemouth yesterday on a crappie magnet crappie fishing.

Caught my personal best this weekend fishing from a dock on a small pond at our deer lease in Centerville, Tx. We didn't have a scale but compared it to pics and videos online and we estimate 7-8 pounds. Caught on a 1/2 oz. Booyah spinnerbait during light rain in about 3 ft of clear water.

Not a danged thing.

Buzzbaits - I always seem to do better on a prop bait than with a buzzbait. Frogs - 100% hookup ratio, just don't get many strikes. Kinda surprised at the jerkbait responses, they seem to work really well for me.

Unless you are vertically drop shotting, I agree that 1/8 and 3/16 is a perfect weight. it is my most often used size(s). I very, very rarely go heavier than 3/16 when casting a DS.

I was actually gonna pick up the 7'1mh pinnacle spinning but figured "why not check the used" section...saw it and said, it's gotta be mine

Well stocked up on cranks and jigs that I may need in a few months. Boy that $200 gift card didn't go far. I feel atleast another 2 purchases before TW 20% off sale ends on the 5th. I need another *** and another Concept.

Good lord...does he do any buisness? Lol

Nice bass! My best bass came on a jig too. Jigs catch pigs!

BAM ~ Done Deal. Love saving a hundred smackers . . . . A-Jay

Me too lol I "need" another spinning combo

Someone said noon central time

Last one

Another

Under Armour Cabela's Guidewear, uninsulated Sorel waterproof boots

Looks like the Hawks are starting to fire on all 8 cylinders coming into the home stretch.

Nothing. Too cold to go out.

Buzzbaits, just don't work for me.

I agree with you iabass, Philly looked really good, I was glad to see Sanchez play well. Romo, well, that's Romo...

Tony Romo is single handily making one of the league's worst secondary's look like the legion of boom circa 2012/13. Philly played well. Earned that win from start to finish and looked great. Chip Kelly seriously needs to release Riley Cooper.

That's 2 threads this week 10" was mentioned.....

All those bass in clear water lakes that eat A-rigs with thick wire and snap swivels everywhere, but braided line is too visible

They aren't really many local shops that even carry what I'd use.

New arrival

Denver is worrisome. Before they got blasted by the Pats almost as bad as the Seahawks beat them in the SB, I had them as a sure bet. The Pats, if they stay healthy, look like the team to beat in the AFC, heck, the NFL.

Rigging a worm or other soft plastic on a straight shank hook is done differently than with an EWG. If you attempt to use the same method, you'll never get the plastic straight. With an EWG you go straight into the nose and exit, then find the point where the plastic would meet the bend of the hook and come through the plastic at a right angle. For a straight shank, you need to enter the nose with a downward angle, thread the plastic up over the eye, and hook the plastic using the opposite angle you did on the nose stopping just before the hook point emerges. On most plastics, you'll need to scrunch up the worm slightly before doing the last step. A toothpick through the plastic and hook's eye, will keep your worm from sliding down or you can use a number of other methods to acomplish that task. With a sliding bullet or egg sinker, you'll have the original Texas rigged worm. Peg the sinker and you'll have what was called a Florida rig. So, saying a straight shank isn't good for worms is misinforming readers.

These arguments are silly. Don't like it, don't use one. My boat is leaps and bounds faster than anyone else's in my club. Do they restrict me? No. I've been with kayak fishing since the start of the boom. Some guys I know have been with it much longer, like decades longer. As more people use them, and builders get input, the fishing kayak will evolve. I see them as personal fishing crafts. I don't make any distinction of whether it's SINK, SOT, hybrid, pack canoe, or what ever, unless I'm trying to describe it to a layperson. If you rig it to fish, be that a bungee fire one rod and a small pack of lures on a lanyard, or full blown fishing battleship with electronics and a dozen rods, then to me it's a fishing kayak. Hobie makes a quality boat, quality that goes way beyond the Mirage Drive. They've sweated all the details, and that comes at a premium. Wilderness Systems, Ocean Kayak, Feel Free, Malibu, Jackson, and many others are building just as elaborately and thought out rigs that don't use Mirage Drive type of propulsion, for you purists. Looking to the future, mark my words. In our lifetime we will see the whole landscape of personal fishing craft change, both in terms of hull design and sheer speed, as the price and efficiency of lithium powered propulsion comes down. "Green" boats are coming.
