I do use Megastrike as well, which I like. Never heard of Pro Cure before. I'll have to check that out.

Took advantage of a few sales going on out there on the ol' worldwide web. Not sure what's going on with the Bait Fuel. It's always been clear for me. I wonder if it's old? Anybody else ever get any that has a slight yellow/brown tint to it?

If that were mine, somebody would be answering for their crimes.

I have the previous version (that one that was just replaced)...the 6'11 M+. Awesome rod! Fortunately I haven't had any issues with the finish peeling etc.

I believe these will be a tad stiffer because they were made for the American market. I'm still not sure on the looks. I'll have to get one in hand. I love the looks of the previous version. It seems pretty similar. Not sure I like the gold (or is it orange/copper??) accents with the silver accents. Should've just went with one or the other.

I like it. Is that a new color? Kind of a muted version of White Python.

Great pictures, everyone! I've been having a heck of a time getting anything of decent size lately. Been catching a bunch, but nothing really over 3#. Finally got on some bigger ones my last few trips out. Got this first guy prooobably on my last punch bite of the season. The others have been on jigs. The end of the season is closing in, which makes me incredibly sad. Still have another 1.5 months left or so. Every year at this time I tell myself I'm moving south. 😅

Rock on! (probably aging myself with this GIF/reference)

STRONGLY disagree with this. Reel seats can make or break (not literally 🙂) a rod.

The Feather is a great rod. Their ratings do seem to run a little lighter. I have the 7'1 H that makes a great chatterbait rod. And the 7'7 XH as one of my flipping/punching rods. The blanks run a little thicker than some, but they are very light, hence the name. I mean, the 7'7 XH weighs just under 4 oz. I also have the 7'2 MH M1. Another rods that's super fun to fish. Both great rods at that price point. I can only imagine how nice the K2's are.

If you want the biggest selection of Super Fluke colors, check out another site. They have 130 different colors. Hambone is a favorite. I do great with Rocky Top in the spring. Arkansas Shiner is another favorite. Also big fan of the 6th Sense Flush in Baby Bluegill.

Ahh, gotcha. I thought you meant overall it's not working anymore.

Still working for me.

Oh, for sure. If you need other stuff may as well get the 405 off that too. But I was responding to this- So, $12 worth of those stickers is way cheaper than adding 19 items of terminal tackle.

I've tried them and that head LOVES bringing back weeds. No bueno.

No code. They just don't announce/advertise it. You have to go on their site and look around to find them.

It's 20% off right now on Dobyns.

Orrrr, add 19 of these for a total of $12 (after the 40% off), and then get the 40% off a reel, rod etc. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Tackle_Warehouse_Boxfish_Stickers/descpage-TWSS.html

It's Rapala's line of soft plastics. their site is kind of weird how they have it. You can't click on a bait and then look at colors. Each color is listed separately. Best thing to do is go to the fishing page and under "brands" click on Rapala and scroll. You can't click on "soft baits" either because it doesn't show them for some reason. Their stuff is actually really good. They have the Cleanup Craw, Bronco Bug, Ned BLT, Freeloader and Mayor. They do have some new stuff that was released at iCast, but not sure if they're out yet. Here's a link to the black/blue Cleanup Craw. I guess if you scroll down you'll see some of the other baits. https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/1509045-rapala-cleanup-craw-3-black-blue-flake.html

**If I find a good sale!

The new version with the tungsten head is $16. That's correct, $6 more than the regular EVO. 😵

Farm & Fleet has Crush City on sale. In store they're marked down to $4/pack. Online they're $4.50.

You talking about the newest model that says "TATULA" on the top of the frame? Very solid reel. Super smooth and casts a mile. The previous version (with the red accents on the thumb bar), which wasn't out that long, is also a great reel. But the new model is definitely a step up with the addition of HyperDrive. Now, the older version is a tad more palmable, IMO. The newer one just sits a little higher, but may be a tad narrower.
