The wait is getting expensive. Actually, the bait monkey has just moved right into my house. I'm glad that monkey is staying at your place dude. He's been riding me hard this winter and I need some space! Lol...congrats on the upcoming rod! Get out there and get em' ! 1 Quote

Super User NorcalBassin Posted March 9, 2016 Super User Posted March 9, 2016 Curado 70HG arrived from TW today and I paired it up with a neglected Extreme HP 742C that's been sitting abandoned on the rod rack since Black Friday. Can't wait to get this combo out on the water! 9 Quote

They've about chewed all the paint off mine this winter. I believe it, that blueish chartreuse looking color on the bottom of the bait looks amazing... I also liked the swimming action of it I seen in a review. Edit: Actually the second cutter from the bottom that I have is Chartreuse Shad, Chameleon Vapor is similar but with a darker back and solid chartreuse bottom.WolfyBrandon Quote

stk Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I feel his pain. I think his problem is because us yankees have winter to deal with. Bad things happen to our wallets during this time. I've lost some battles to the bait monkey this winter as well. 3 Quote

There will be plenty of pics when I can actually get back in the swing of things. I don't know how much I spend though. It's best not to keep track. See "plausible deniability" 4 Quote

Sweet! I am going to be getting my 2nd Exscence DC / Custom Rod wet this weekend hopefully too! I need to get some fish slime in the picture to get the "Ay-Okay" from Goose! I have plenty of time on the water with my first Exscence to know how phenominal it is. I hope you enjoy the heck out of it. Make sure you use the SP mode with no thumb "just because". To get max distance either use the Min or next one up from the min setting on the dial. I am sure you have probably back yard casted it but just in case you need the cliff notes... Quote

Did you see any scratches and how big were they? Thats more of a disclaimer that they're used. Most of the stuff I've bought from FGJ was barely used at all with little to no discernible wear. I figure they get scratched and chipped just using them so I wouldn't be worried if they were more heavily used, but it's never come up. As as for what I'm using the exsence/destroyer for, it's for A LOT of stuff. Jigs, bigger cranks, smaller swimbaits, big jerkbaits, vibration and blade baits over a half ounce and pretty much anything else in that weight range that vibrates, has trebles or an open top hook. I only really ever use 4 combos but they're 4 DIALED combos. Quote
