Oh for sure. I do the same. I'll even hit it with some canned air right before I apply the U40.

I like Chartreuse Rootbeer Crawdad, Demon and Old School for dirtier water. Bluegill and Perch for clear water. But my favorite color is probably Mule. I fish it in stained and clear water.

Susquehanna has 20% off right now. After a quick look it seems Megabass, Shimano, Daiwa and 13 Fishing is excluded.

I like and use both. I'll usually squirt some KVD line conditioner on them as well. KVD isn't just for fluoro.

Ohh ok. I was gonna say..

They didn't come with split rings?

Your best bet will likely be Memorial Day. They used to do a tax stimulus sale around mid-March, but I can't remember if they do anymore. I don't believe so.

During the live coverage when Connell caught the first 4-pounder that put him within striking distance of the cut he mentioned throwing a Magdraft. Once it was over and they were talking to the anglers about what was working for them today, he says he caught those final two 4-pounders on the Bass Mafia Daingerous swimbait (which is a complete knockoff of the Magdraft that Zaldain "designed" when he left Megabass). So I wonder if he was actually using the Bass Mafia and accidentally said Magdraft or if he was using a Magdraft and was caught up in the moment when he mentioned it, and then lied afterwards. Don't wanna upset those sponsors!

Didn't wanna make another thread so figured I'd just add this this. How often do you guys reapply your U40? I use this stuff anytime I get a new rod but have never reapplied any yet. Do you even have to? I've heard some use magic eraser to take any old stuff off and then reapply?

Connell at the buzzer AGAIN. He was dead in the water and then caught 2 fish just under 4# each in the last 50 minutes or so. Lol wow. That's great. You see Bill Dance?

Don't overthink it. 50# Power Pro or 832 works perfectly.

For me, right at ice-out, jerkbaits, blade baits and finesse jig.

They're getting more popular so that may have something to do with it. Plus being able to get 15% off at any time. Like I said, they've become my favorite online retailer, but selection has gotten kind of bad. I had a cart full of probably 50 different baits 2 days ago. Yesterday half of them showed out of stock. Wanted to get some line last night. There's no Sniper in stock over 10#. No Super Slick. 832 is all out in anything under 20#...all colors. And tons of other stuff. Their shipping time has always been amazing. With the small order I placed yesterday it said estimated delivery next Friday. I don't believe that tho. Hopefully they're still getting settled in and will be able to carry more stuff at some point.

Man, Omnia stock has been terrible lately. No Mini Max in stock. No Jackhammers. And countless other baits/line I was looking for. Always go to them before checking TW but they've actually gotten worse. Didn't they just make a move to the bigger warehouse recently?

Make sure you have some Mend-It on hand so you get more miles out of the Scat.

Connell gonna be kicking himself if he doesn't get that 5th fish here.

"Guys, I'm telling you, if you trim the entire skirt off of your swim jig and wacky rig an 8" Magdraft on it, you're gonna catch a lot more fish".

Never forget Randy did a video on the A-Rig but instead of using swimbaits he had 5 Vision 110's rigged on it. One of his "top secrets". The guy is just a troll looking for views.

I been draggin' my butt.

You have any holes in your arsenal? A 7-7'1 MH is very universal. Did you get it from TW? Right now you get a $50 gift card if you buy that rod from them.

When ordering swim jig/shot caller swim jig, different colored skirts may come with different colored eyes. Some darker versions may come with blue eyes. Some colors come with red eyes. Some white, silver etc. What's nice is if you message Mike he can customize that as well. I usually ask Mike if he can put gold eyes on mine. Mike, is this still an option?

For those who use Superlube, is this the stuff? https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiv9PCK58z9AhU8bG8EHXJjAnkYABANGgJqZg&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESa-D2OiFMg1x2Ttvt5x8yLFedfFaLnO8Y5FsGBstkXRISCUEVkrjz9EnjF0sUmHkOdlPlDNRGBHuH2ToyFkqnU2pSEN_m8FpGu7E2xZelC-9Ljv5Ul015Xr_ZjQPTwbp1WQbfr0p8BAFGdJfL&sig=AOD64_2ziUdqB-RVsIlQ5fw4uV_vNuE0Gg&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwi_peiK58z9AhWFjIkEHc6rAkUQ9aACKAB6BAgEEBE&adurl=
