i feel like i say this in almost every thread on here, but check out Bitter’s Bait and Tackle, they have great quality stick-baits in bulk for amazing prices.

Check Out Bitter’s Bait and Tackle’s 6” Mega Shad, tons of colors and an unbeatable price, good quality as well

Recently, i've picked up a Lews Magnesium Pro reel and haven't used it much since it's been winter. After fishing with it for two hours, it stated making squeaking noises and overall not seeming very smooth and being kind of difficult. I'm not very familiar with the external braking system so i'm unsure if that could be a problem. i was casting a 3/8 oz Swim Jig with a small trailer and not experiencing any backlash and casting an average distance. I'm not running heavy line either, just 12 lb. mono. can anyone help me out?

Recently picked up this Strike King Red Eyed Shad and really like the color, as do the fish. But i do not know the colorway and hopefully someone knows.

Definitely depends on how much i could spend to get said favorite lure haha, i have used very nice swimbaits for a while and they were much to expensive for a high school student to purchase more of. on the higher end i prefer the Megabass Popmax or Vision 110 Jerkbait. if i had to choose a favorite lure for a young angler with a small spending limit i would definitely go with 7" PowerWorms, in either Tequila Sunrise or Black Grape(or similar color)

Bass Pro Shops makes a Stik-O in the color Candy Corn that has caught me a few, nothing massive, yet
