  1. Beast hook/Flashy Swimmer or on a Warbaits jig head (as in the picture). I'll use it as a swim jig trailer as well.
  2. Is the Tat 80 smaller than the 70? I have a few 70's and they are quite tiny. Great reels.
  3. Definitely a question. I don't think tackle is something to show off over, is it? If anything having so much stuff is embarrassing, actually. I asked because I do enjoy trying new stuff. Which is probably how I got to this point in the first place. You sound a lot like me! ? Well then, you're an enabler. ? Thanks bub. I do enjoy it. Big time. But I really should be downsizing.
  4. It's on there. But truth be told, I never fell in love with them like everyone else has. I don't know why. Hmm, never heard of them but I'll definitely look them up. Thanks. You're are 100% right. It's gotten out of hand, for sure. I know I have bags that are over 5 years old that have never been opened. Like I said, I do give stuff away to friends and when I see young kids out fishing. So as long as I keep doing that and stop buying... They're on there. I have them under creature baits. Suppose I should've put them under 'grubs'. Are you talking about stuff like the Easy Shiner or the Swing Impact (non fat version). I do have a fair share of different swimbaits.
  5. So I was sick as a dog today. Was really hoping to get out and fish, but that wasn't happening. After being bored watching TV most of the day, I just had to get out and do something fishing-related. So I decided to go through all my soft plastics and write down what have. I didn't do how many bags or color of each, or I would've been out past midnight. ? I realize I have way more than I need. I love trying out new baits. And sadly, there are a lot of baits that go unfished because I either forget about them or I just have other favorites. I really should downsize at some point. I do give a bunch away to friends/kids from time to time. Anyways, is there a favorite soft plastic that you use that you love and don't see on my list? I realize most aren't gonna go through and read all of this, and I totally get it. I could save a lot of space and type them all out, but that'd take me forevvver since I'm not a speedy typer. More than anything I did this out of boredom. But if you do and have any suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks!
  6. Yeah I like them a lot. It seems the 1/4 oz has the same rate of fall as the 3/8 oz Jackhammer/regular size Chatterbait.
  7. I totally agree with you. On both of those statements. ?
  8. Took advantage of the Sportsman's Outfitters sale and stocked up on more MiniMax's.
  9. It's legit. I even repair frogs when they get sliced up from pike.
  10. If fishing mats I'm throwing a black frog 99.9999% of the time.
  11. Skirt is hand-tied as well, always a plus.
  12. LOL, looong day..
  13. I see the Chatterbait Elite for %5.49. I don't see the Mini Max at all. Nevermind. Once I typed it in it came up.
  14. Yeah, I go there first but am disappointed far too often with either stuff being out of stock or them not carrying a particular brand/item.
  15. I keep wanting to get the World Minnow and popper. And to me, those Stanley Ribbit's are still the best toad-style baits out there. Few things from TW. The Magic Man in Regurgitated Shad has become one of my favorite lipless. Got a few more packs of different sizes/colors in the Machete Minnow. Great Chatterbait trailer. And decided to check out the Hayabusa Lil' Schmitty Swim Jig. The head on this thing is THIN. I'm a swim jig fanatic, so I'm always trying out different ones. Siebert's Shot Caller is still my go-to (which I did get a box in the mail today from Mike).
  16. No Omina? I do like FishUSA. Lots of options out there nowadays. Some are better than others.
  17. I'm guilty of leaving fish to look for fish. I don't always, but definitely guilty of it. Catching bass with different techniques is part of the excitement for me. If I'm nailing them flippin' docks, I may just up and leave and see if the frog bite is on on the other side of the lake. I'll be doing well with a Fluke up in the shallows, and I may go out deeper and start throwing cranks. It's all part of the fun. Now if there's money on the line, that's a different story.
  18. I keep ordering despite have 2 containers of SO jigs/swim jigs. Not to mention all the ones in the boat. Oh yeah, and I placed another order the other day. ?‍♂️
  19. I have. Very similar. But the Miyagi only comes in 4.75". Where as the Booty Shaker comes in 4 or 5 different sizes.
  20. Let me know if you ever come up this way!
  21. No doubt. He just seems like a dang good dude! A real one. Best movie ever?
