Last year was a complete grind with small finesse baits working the best. Fishing throughout the summer Thursday evening tournaments this bait accounted for most of my fish. I pour 3/32 ballheads using the New EWG hooks for these and they just flat out worked. Went from 3 fish the first tournament to 19 the second once I found these little baits. Hopefully for 2025 other baits work because I do not like fishing these little baits. Allen

Me too, the two "Local" shops for me are 45 minutes and 1:15 minutes away. Dicks is crazy high prices so I only hit there when I really need something right away which is rare. Allen

Some of you must be spending a fortune in shipping on some of these JDM baits. I see some of the baits on FeeBay $9 plus $14 shipping. Allen

Well, I said earlier this year I only needed to buy some more fluorocarbon line and bullet weights nothing else. About $200 later I still haven't bought the line or weights. Trying to reserve my money for a HDS 10 pro its just not working. I blame my relapse on the Megabass Fine Art jerkbaits and Imakatsu Riprizers for looking so lifelike a mere fishing mortal like myself can't resist. Disabling the front door ring cam so my wife cannot see all the packages that arrive is getting to be a chore. Allen

Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits= White and shad colors Swim jig= Same as above but I also use a bluegill color Regular jig= GP, black, and brown Allen

While looking for something else on Ebay I came across OSP crankbaits. They have some great colors and they baits themselves look like they would work. Just wondering if anyone fishes them that can give an opinion. Allen

Anyone looking for pumpkin chart tail Zoom lizards Ollie's has 100's right now $2.99 each. Allen

For my personal jigs I use black, brown, and GP as well. You can get lost in the amount of colors sold now. Allen

20 to 26 Guage Craft wire with 22 being what I use the most. Get yourself a set of Harbor Freight twisting pliers. Allen

It bend just like any other spinnerbait. Allen

He keeps buying all the spinnerbaits which is why the price is so high. Allen

First prototype using a small bladed jig blade. Trying this out until my new blades get here. Allen

Best advice I can give is to be able to carry all your stuff in one trip. Allen

The funny thing is that I have one of these spinnerbaits in my garage. Mine is a different color but the same bait. Hoping its not a $800 bait as I already tore it apart to make a mold. Allen

Anyone looking for a $800 spinnerbait https://www.ebay.com/itm/176854588752?_skw=OSP+spinnerbait&itmmeta=01JMBVJ9RB4WK0BYKB3KD2RE1H&hash=item292d5add50:g:lZoAAeSw9tZns8c4&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fssmL0023FywoxcHPD5LwaQ6D%2FfSDW%2B8qxrwd4nFHM3NlMPZHq%2FpG4e9aXYoAt0Y4bbkMAjfbMDg4ivJSugmiTak3Yb0cj90yl4g1%2Fk7a8XNT70pDiQrAR4CWZEzbBGzb3qh3dEB1P%2F2GK%2BmwTSEeJDebIo7ONwfgBjOYrn5vAXNzeSrMjji0CesU1D0%2Bxqooyt8iNr7ZNdZ9l%2FyDXHiGld2%2BLSGeMbYeJZMe4dLLbYf3LsdDy19i57ArFBcGyH9Q%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6qcyfuiZQ https://www.ebay.com/itm/316177826350?_skw=OSP+spinnerbait&itmmeta=01JMBVJ9RCS620CREG0GM8VZN8&hash=item499daac22e:g:zcUAAOSwF6Znnv17&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1ezyrYURql%2F2kG8JlsZPItKHbQ6KnA6%2FTGybQZZliYpKSjBoTG%2FzSCxGk99kuAC8Drq%2Fk0yh8JqySybYlPzdK1irDwW58UM5Idj194bErsT5sUGBbl1pzTp8mOs3eiFO7k%2FBavm%2BCGU9qkOU58Lk4D71Y%2BAfslh6Iuga4LjmwpEif2G30vsbYocVm%2FlK5TSQE2Lnh3DfwchPAVTDkveACrw19%2FiEfY7iIUKifQp4ImGTPkCaxlde0%2BxjcR2Q%2BwhYSe7SzHbLXy%2FXCoiN80rFKuXen823R%2BABzytgI9kaUnM2Q%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6qcyfuiZQ

Try Facebook Market Place as I find a lot of lead being sold there. Bought 14 26lb lead blocks for $200 from someone 10 miles away. Allen

They makes flukes in colors besides albino and pearl white? I pour some of my own in Yamamoto's Natural Shad color that really work. Paddle tails I use similar colors as flukes. Allen

After bending up some of these wires I understand why they cost so much. Going to make some with the small bladed jig blade for now until the real blades arrive. These first batch are fixed wire to the head. I know how to make the swinging wire ones I just need to find some small pieces of aluminum. Allen

Some serious OCD going on in here, glad I am cured of it. Allen

Old pic but still relevant. Allen

Crankbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits are all the same right now just dragging across the ice. Allen

Think I have you beat? My tackle organization looks like the police just executed a drug search warrant. Allen

I loved going there when I was stationed in MO for an Army school. Picked up brand new reels 50% off because the box was damaged. They had stuff there that I never saw in the store like 10" knock off senkos and plastics sold by weight. Allen

Best new plastic I have used lately is a Zoom Zcraw on a football wobblehead. I picked up some 5" Yamamoto shad shape worms to try though. Allen

You are giving away the secret color! Glad I stocked up on them before they are sold out. I would try a blade bait like a silver buddy? Drop shot has never worked for me in cold water for some reason. Allen
