Nice! Those definitely look like a goby more than the other 2 options. Interesting rigging BTW. I'll be curious to know how well they perform for ya.

Yeah, we'll have to see how soft that plastic is. Or might have to bend the hook up a tad. Like you said, hard to tell since the first pic looks better than the others. Little off topic, but have you gotten your hands on the Berkley Agent E? At first I thought "great, a Dark Sleeper knockoff". Which it kind of is. But that weed guard is gonna make it more weedless than the Sleeper, for sure. And I like the colors. And they come in 2 pack. I just got this color the other day. Can't wait to try them out.

Bluegill version of the Dark Sleeper. Supposedly the release date will be sometime in June. Not a lot of info out there on these, but sure to be a big hit. The Japanese release has 15 great colors. Here are a few.

Have you looked at the Crestliner XF?

I will say, TW has the easiest and best return system around. They literally send a return label with your purchase in case you wanna return something. Rods included.

Oh shoot, right in plain site. Well hell, now I feel cheated. Lol.

Is this a thing? I know they'll price-match, but have never heard of this. I still use TW, but I'll give Omnia my business first if they have the stuff I want in stock.

Came across these a while back while digging thru old tackle. Don't think they've ever been thrown.

Bass Pro as a whole just really sucks nowadays. And this is very minor, but still made me shake my head. I was looking at bibs in the new spring catalog. They have some new(er?) ones called the Guidewear "Extreme". But if you go on their site, they're called the "Xtreme". What's worse is they were hard to find at first on the site. If you click on "bibs", they're not even listed anywhere. If you type "Guidewear Extreme" in the search, all you get is a pair of gloves. Just by chance I typed in "Xtreme" and they popped up. ?‍♂️

Yeah, the SlingBladeZ is one of my favorites.

LM also approve.

Also, Megabass Orochi Diablo Spec R can do a LOT of stuff.

7'2" Shimano Expride.

Yup. You can do a LOT of different things with this rod.

You froggin with that Expride? I now have 3 Expride's. AMAZING rods. Was gonna grab another but I'll wait for the new ones now.

Yeah man. The ending really got me.

Zona just posted this video. Grown man tears watching this.

And who is Iowa's pro team? Woof!

Blue or black/blue is a staple for me, all year round. Especially jigs. And we all know how well red colors work in the spring, but I especially do well early in the season with a jig paired with a blue Zoom Salty Chunk.

Agree with a lot that has already been said. Now, there are a few times I'll use 30-40# braid when I'm ripping cranks/lipless cranks through grass. It just makes life so much easier.

$13K and that's all you got? Slacker! Bait Monkey is not happy.
