Awesome, and I really love that MiniMax combo. Such an excellent bait. I have the bluegill MiniMax but not those mini Zakos, perfect little combo. Bet you catch a bunch more on it.

Can you please email me a copy, I was trying to locate info on this the other night, all I was getting was Bill Murphy and his book. I'm getting more and more convinced that my big Bass catches have a lot to do with the moon.

It all makes sense now ? I mean that Tim, I think that fish is coming for you. I'm basing that on the fact that you catch significantly larger Bass relative to your location, and you throw big fish baits. 7lb fish anywhere is dynamite, I'm shaking every time and thinking I should sign up for tourneys ? Get it brother, like Tim you posted so many big fish relative to your area, and you fish those stupid widget spinnerblades that big fish love.....I can't wait to see that fish when you post the pics!

Can't wait until you post that 7+ this year...its coming no doubt! ?

First Don Johnson, now ZZ Top, you fish with some famous dudes ? Tell that gent his beard is fantastic ?

Is your PB a smallie or LGM? I personally can't wait until you catch a 6+ LGM, and I 100% know it's going to happen in 2023. @PhishLI agrees with me ?

I certainly want one bad enough, the Zillion SV TW is just such a bargain.

I only have the 5 and 10, but I agree on so much that the Berkeley bait is so much more refined. Equally sharp hooks as the gamas on the OG series baits, and has a great subtle colder water wobble. It shined for me once the water got cold from Fall to Winter. Like Rapala though, Berkeley finish options leave a lot to be desired. I just went with that kentucky blue.

Fantastic Dad! Being a hammer at that age might afford him the opportunity to pay for college, or even be a pro one day. Impressive young man.....hope to see him hold a Classic trophy up in 15-20 years ?

They ruined me. Getting close to buying another Zillion from them. Every Sunday night I open up Digitaka, because I know if I order by then, I'll for sure have it before Friday ?

I wish I could blame the weather, but it's nothing short of spectacular. Breezy, high 70s, super sunny, almost full moon high in the sky.....but atlas 8 fish + a big Crappie. The amount of human activity level is very significant over these last few weeks, the days and even months of having a lake to myself are over, the summer can't come fast enough when my advantage will kick back in when I have the lake to myself every single night. Quality fish on a new Jackall Rerange, along with 4 others. Caught two sub 2lb fish on a 7.5" Shimano 190SF big swimbait lol. Lastly caught a chunky 2lb fish on the flashback mini. I'm seeing some bigger fish on sonar but couldn't crack them. I hate the Spring ?

I've bought three reels including the zillions from Digitaka. 5 stars.....ship faster than CONUS companies. Pay with CC to avoid paypal screwry

Man that was seriously impressive by Justin Barnes.....having the wheels come off until 2pm and then producing 23lb bag to take the win home. Wouldn't have guessed they were cranking deep, and using other techniques deep. Lot of good fish came from beds on the first day. 50lb bag to win a two day tourney is excellent. Good for Eufaula.

I'm fishing exclusively for a DD LGM on my homelake.....the side benefit is catching smaller LGMs and Spots ? Maybe some S FL guys do because it's one of the few regions in the nation where sub species don't overlap. It's pretty hard to just target one of the big three given their presence is in equal numbers in said body of water. SLR is a good example where one might actually be able to target SMs offshore deep, and then LGMs shallower, in grass, etc.

Everybody on this site who posts a fat Bass pic and mentions the lure.....I'M LOOKING AT ALL OF YOU ?

JDM 21 Zillion SV TW 1000 Heavily biased but this is one of the greatest reels on the market at any price, and it's 50 below your budget, it's a no brainer imho. A Zillion HD is right at your budget, epic reel as well, and I do mean epic. Zillion, Zillion, and oh yeah get a Zillion ? edit... the Zillions are also the most user friendly, set and forget reels I've ever used. You have to try to backlash them, seriously.

Awesome, now snap a pic of an Ocelot and you'd have two of the most rare critters in America that live in the same general area.

Yeah this is seemingly his new MO, he gets up there on that leaderboard on day 1, expect him to finish there. Very impressive, that leaderboard has been shook up too. He just needs that "one fish" you often hear these guys talk about post tourney. Hope he gets it. A 6 or 7lb fish would do it I bet.

It's an amazing bait, I hope you get to fish it this week, be sure to post up your results. It's a magic bullet for those suspended fish feeding on smaller sized Shad.

OH Ivie was a dead lake literally not that long ago, then it refilled, TPWS stocked it properly, and here we are today. Bob Lusk talks about this in his most recent podcast.

Those baitholders would hold a teener LGM, or a Bonita/Skippy ?

That Golden Shiner does look great, more folks need to make Shiner big baits.

The magnet is in the middle, and the only time it engages is when those two metal hinges are straight and above and below that magnet.

Yeah I'll confirm for sure tomorrow. Either way this thing throws a country mile ? Thanks!

Yes it seems to be for sure, and the directions say not to store it with other plastics. I was re reading the info that Shimano put out, and it seems to contradict what I just witnessed. It said the bait folds up in flight, mine would fly perfectly straight. They said it won't wander off or turn 180, mine did. Odd marketing lol.
