Good thread. I've been wanting to start a thread for a bit now called Tackle Porn or something like that. I just love looking at baits. Unique or otherwise. I don't know how many times I'll pair a bait with a trailer and just think "oh man, that looks beautiful". I take lots of pictures of my baits, mainly for a reminder down the road if a bait does well for me. But to me they're also a work of art that I just like admiring. Anyways, after click on this thread and seeing your pic, I thought 'that looks quite familiar'. I went back in my picture archives from a few years ago and found this. This Siebert's Shot Caller swim jig rigged up with a Z-Man Goat worked as well as it looks for me this past season. And the Shot Caller with a Rage Menace. Siebert's tungsten jigs with Netbait Paca Chunks.

Yup. Same here.

I'm all for new techniques etc. But this is just trying way too hard just to be "innovative" IMO.

I really like these (in the straight nose version). Nice and long for when the occasional pike decides to swallow my lure. https://www.boomsfishing.com/products/fishing-pliers-ptfe-plated-stainless-steel-f05

It is 2-toned a little bit. They say there's a green tint, but I have a hard time seeing it. To me it just looks like a lighter black/gray. Now maybe in the sun it'd be different, but I've yet to have it outside. If you're wondering if it's match up with, lets say, a rod with red or blue accents I think it would. Maybe someone else can weigh in. Everybody sees things a little differently.

Talking about swimbait size...

I guess "bigger" means something different to everyone. I do think it can easily handle baits up to 4 oz. I have no problems throwing an Arashi Glide with the 200.

What FryDog said. The 200 is also a good reel for a-rigs, bigger swimbaits etc. If you're more on a budget, the CT has always been a real solid all-around reel too.

?

No, they'll be fine...

Looks like a winner to me!

Completely agree...

That's a good question. Those who have been around a while may know of one or two. But it'd be a shame if someone got banned because they mention a site they had no idea was off-limits.

Picked up an Evergreen Combat Stick that I really didn't need.

They sold out within minutes.

You went away from Huk??! That's like Jordan leaving Nike! If you don't mind, where did you find this deal? I'm in need of some nicer insulated gear myself.

I didn't even know they sold stuff. I just thought it was some kind of app. Curious how peoples' experience was ordering from there. And if you ordered a rod, how did it come shipped? Appreciate it.

Thanks. I haven't fished straight glass for years. Was curious how heavy this rod was...

Just curious if anybody has any experience with the new Zodias glass rods, and what your opinion is on them. Thanks!

I don't wanna talk about it.

To all you bass out there, take note. This is how you eat! Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

If it's anything like the Sierra 734, it may be easier listing what you CAN'T use that rod for. What kind of line is it spooled with?

Was going to say this. I have the Sierra 734 micro-guide. Amazing rod for it's price point. I actually enjoying using it as much or more than some of my higher end rods.

Some really good deals on 6th Sense site. Extra 20% off stuff that's already marked down 10-30%+. Code- CYBER20
