MAN

😉

Academy works directly with the lure factory. There is no 3rd party with regards to hardbaits.

The pattern and holo suggest L&S Mirrolure. I also have a Cisco Kid that kinda resembles that as well.

Just a chrome blue or black back rattletrap. My fish can't decern these from any other lipless that goes swimming by.

Goes inside the tension control knob over the metal disk

Anyone know who purchased them?

That is a baitcaster rod right?

What brand rod is it? Sound like the guides are spaced out a bit too far. By the way I thought this was an OhioGuy post at first glance

We do that with redfish down here in Texas. You get a brand spankin new truck and boat if you catch one.

Let me know if you would like to sell them instead of letting them collect dust!

Man I wish all Goodwills were all the same. My local one would have had that marked for $79 guaranteed. Never have found a deal on any fishing items at mine.

Wow thats awesome. What did you do with the snakehead?

The things that changed me was having an old guy tell fish don't give a d**n what the latest and greatest while I was trying to sell him the latest and greatest...lol. Guy just wanted an H&H spinner bait. Another life changer for me was when I tossed out any fishing reputation/care for what others thought of me and really got back into live bait. Especially when taking out the kids, family members and novice fisherman. Even though that may have also cost me significantly career wise I wouldn't change a thing. Its put so much more fish in the boat and at times completely saved the day. In the end Its all about just having a good time with good friends and family.

I have been wanting to add a few of these to my collection. How can I tell the originals WEC baits versus the new ones being produced by Simmons??

I am going to swing by my local Bass Pro and pick some up. The one with the plastic minnow on it.....how does the minnow act during retrieval?
