14/100. The reel is also very light at 5.0 oz.

The Bait Turkey made a visit today. This thing is tiny. I'll have to compare side by side, but it almost feels smaller than my Tatula 70's. Initial impressions, I'm quite impressed. It just feels solid as can be. Very nice packaging, and comes with a reel cover as well.

No jig will ever come through grass as well as a Texas rig will. I like Siebert's tungsten pitching jigs when I'm fishing grass. IMO, the head design helps it come through the grass better than the other heads. Also, being tungsten, it's smaller than lead heads.

I fish a lot of different brand swim jigs. But the Shot Caller is definitely my go-to.

Outdoor America has it marked down.

Problem solved.

Interesting. Also of note- some items only have specific colors that are on sale, so be mindful of that once you click on them. Just to give an idea how nuts this sale is, my cart right now is at $109. The last 5 baits in my cart add up to $115 retail. So pretty much SPRO is paying me $6 to take all the rest of the baits off their hands for free. 😆 (also, not sure why my font is big/bold like this).

SPRO's site has some really nice sales if you look around. I just copy/pasted what I have in my cart just to give you an idea. Never fished the new Outsider cranks, but they're regular $22 baits.

That's awesome. You leaving it in the package I'm assuming?

You know who you are.

Anybody in the market for a 7'3 MH/XF rod, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal than this. Chromium marked down to $87 with code BF24. Retail $300 (again, we all know how Kistler works). Shipping (to WI from TX) is $20. But even at $107 that's a STEAL. These are really nice rods. Super light. I already have 3 Chromium's and trying to convince myself I don't need a 4th. https://kistlerrods.com/products/chromium-fishing-rod

The Feather's action ratings are listed way faster than what they really are. The 7'1 H/XF is a great Chatterbait rod. The tip is anything but extra fast.

Somebody was asking about any Zoom sales a while back. Copperstate has 30% off Zoom until Friday, as well as accessories.

$197-199 now for 7 and 8 speed.

Check out the ALX IKOS Thunder.

13 Fishing Magic Man in Regurgitated Shad color (the eyes crack me up) has become my favorite lipless over the past 4-5 years. Unfortunately Rapala axed the hard bait line when they purchased 13 Fishing a while back.

Thanks. The JDM Zillion has a shorter handle than the US version, yeah?

How large is the Zillion frame? Size-wise, what other Daiwa reel would you compare it to? Is it comparable to the Tatula SV103?

Don't forget sharks and alligators.

Congrats on the new boat! I've been thinking about getting something like this or a kayak to get on some of these smaller lakes that aren't accessible to larger rigs.

I say this every year around this time. To all you guys/gals that get to open-water fish all year 'round, I hate you.

Good stuff, Mike! 🦃

You have any Feather's? I really like the few I have.

Copperstate Veteran's Day sale is going for the next 3 days. 25% off. I don't need to buy the Bates Hundo reel. I don't need to buy the Bates Hundo reel. I don't need to by the Bates Hundo reel.
