Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 9, 2018 Super User Posted February 9, 2018 I hit Walmart and picked up 5 spools of Red Label, 6lb test, 2 10lb and 2 12 lb test. 7 dollars each. I also went to DSG and bought a beater spinning combo (Cherrywood with a Abu Black Max 6’6” 2 pc Medium) for my stay (work) in Carolina (Near Charlotte). That was 29.99 and grabbed some keitechs fat impacts (5 packages) for around 3 bucks each after the discount. Quote
Scarborough817 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Okay I know I've been spamming this thread with glide baits but I'm beyond stoked about this one. I was able to get my hands on a Kurouto Real Greed 230, this monster is 9" and 5oz I took the hooks off because they were a bit rusted but man is this thing beautiful. The only issue is it doesn't fit into my glide bait box. and here is it compared to a 6" spro bbz-1 so you can see how massive it is 1 Quote

Super User MassYak85 Posted February 10, 2018 Super User Posted February 10, 2018 Are those 7.8 Keitechs? 10 hours ago, Scarborough817 said: i know but the thought of it hanging in a tree seems worse I'm kind of glad I haven't caught the glidebait bug yet, that's an expensive niche part of swimbait fishing, which is expensive enough as it is. I have enough trouble not worrying about losing a mattlures or slammer, nevermind something like a deps, hinkle, hiro etc. 1 Quote

Finally got my Hinkle Shad order and my dedicated dobyns 908 rod to throw them on! Pumped!". Right now I'm right in the middle haha. 2 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 15, 2018 Global Moderator Posted February 15, 2018 Went to drop a Slammer off for new paint at a friend's house last night. He had a surprise I'd forgotten I even asked for. 10 Quote

Kinda thought everyone over looked me other than some likes of my posting. I'm in SC and have already tried one. Got two huge bites "big fish" but missed them as I've been trying to figure them out. They are hugely fat "for me" and trying to get the hook through the bait hasn't been easy. I've be using 1o/o hook weighted and I think it's a tich to small for the bait but could be wrong. The action is incredible and I just got into Keitechs and hope to catch some huge un's. Quote
Super User MassYak85 Posted February 17, 2018 Super User Posted February 17, 2018 Picked this up last month on sale from Ebay. I wasn't feeling my Cardiff + Okuma Guide Select combo anymore so decided to change things up. I am VERY impressed so far with both the reel and rod. I was able to make 50 yard casts effortlessly. Spooled it up with some P-Line PF Original 20lb and the reel had plenty of line capacity. 5 Quote
NorthwestBasser Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Scratched the itch today, two Buddha baits snooze alarm buzzbaits (3/8, 1/2) both in blugill, 660yd spool of 12lb sunline FCsniper, my favorite pitboss's green pumpkin green and Okeechobee Craw, 4" and 3", some new Trokar big nasty's, a new Rod Glove in the ogre color, a lews BB1 speed spool 6.4:1 lefthand retrieve to go on the Megabass Orochi xx extreme mission type F that I bought from Luke Clausen. Sure is nice having a local pro on the Elite Series!! He switched to Phenix rods and sold all his megabass rods so I had to jump on the chance to get one on the cheap! Quote
Super User Cgolf Posted February 17, 2018 Super User Posted February 17, 2018 Picked this stuff up tonight for 13.08 at DSG, but my ten buck reward 3.08 out of pocket. The savage gear baits were 5 a piece. 3 Quote
RPreeb Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Drove up to Cabela's yesterday... maybe a mistake. Went for a couple of boxes to try and get some sort of sense to my tackle storage. Ended up with a Whopper Plopper, couple of Spooks, several Rapala jerkbaits from the closeout rack.... did get the Plano boxes too. Oh yeah.... also a Daiwa Tatula CT 100H 6.3:1. Been watching for one to be in stock to complement my 8.1:1. Now I just need another rod to put one of them on. My planned $20 trip came out to a $200 trip. 1 2 Quote
