A local fishing legend passed away in 2018, his estate sale was a few weeks ago. The amount of gear he collected over the years was truly unbelievable. His primary target was large muskie and he was very skilled at catching them. Holy smokes! I'd love to see the mold for those Godzilla plastics! I'm waiting for the reply from someone saying they've seen bigger. ? Quote

Both came in tubes with the tips and handles wrapped in foam. The second one was even $5 off the retail price. I ordered my Aird-x from amazon, full filled by Amazon but the rods had Academy tags on them. Came in a regular box, foam around the top guide. One of the boxes was bend, and the lower guide was flattened. Had to do the whole exchange process. Not worth it buying rods on Amazon tbh. Quote

Dangerfield Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 16 hours ago, Columbia Craw said: Uh oooh where's the drool reaction? Is that a Xtasy paired with Tatula SV? The Spring Fishing Show (in Ontario) came and went this past weekend. Didn't get my bonus from work yet, so I was window shopping but grabbed a bag of Z-man Hula Sticks, Keitech Custom Leeches, a couple of Tokyo rigs, and a couple of bags of SK Rage Menaces. I was on SO.com looking for some jigs, under-spins and swimbait heads. I didn't find any under-spins outside of the Owner Flashy, so I asked Mike if he's ever going to produce an under-spin jig and he's got something in the works. I'm pumped. Quote
BigAngus752 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Went to Meijer for stuff not even remotely related to fishing and found a fishing clearance aisle cap at the back of the automotive section. WTH? Rapala jerks, KVD jerks, and Sizmic Shad all for less than $3 each (I bought all of them). They had a full peg of smoke/purple Senkos for $3.59 so I bought one to give them a try. Not too sure about that color around here. 2 Quote

redmeansdistortion Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 This guy will be here Friday. Abu 3500C, great for throwing light baits. I also have a set of Carbontex drag washers and new spool bearings coming for it. It's going on a 7'6" light power moderate action for chasing brook trout and river smallies. 2 Quote

Not too sure about that color around here. I went to my local Meijer and they had their fishing clearance on an end cap too but it was facing the fishing section. Unfortunately nothing I was interested in. Mostly pan fish and walleye stuff. I really wish we had an Academy sports, the deals I've seen are ridiculous! 1 Quote

I hit the Amazon lottery last time I bought a rod from them. I ordered a 9'6" Okuma SST steelhead rod and they sent me a box with five of them. I got on the phone and they said to keep them, so I gave three to friends and kept two. 3 1 Quote

gilkeybr Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 You know its a exciting day when the package you receive has japanese news print in it for padding. I'm sure i'll throw this eventually, but until then it will look just as good on a shelf! 10 Quote

I really want one of these, I've got the Deps NZ Crawler and have definitely been bit by the big crawler bug Quote

A similar lure, the Aventa Crawler, is available at TW in the US. I don't know of anywhere selling the Berlinetta in the US *edit* looks like Carolina Fishing Tackle carries it! 4 hours ago, evilcatfish said: I really want one of these, I've got the Deps NZ Crawler and have definitely been bit by the big crawler bug Its impressively light for such a large lure. Feels very "hollow", and definitely feels like it wouldn't bounce off a rock well! And considering its light weight for its size, I'm skeptical of how well it will cast. I remember seeing the NZ Crawler in the TW youtube videos and I think this is a decent bit smaller. Halfway between a NZ and a Pompadour. Quote
gilkeybr Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 One more set of unique baits worth sharing. These are all late Christmas items that took a while to get here. Imakatsu Jaka Jack - Looks like a cool flatsided SB Imakatsu Battle Bat(s) - these have a pretty unique profile. Very wide and flat from above, but very "shad" like from the side. Also have a smaller "blade" on the rear hook hanger that should give some unique action. Evergreen CombatCrank Mini SR - Tiny, 3/16oz, but surprisingly has a weight transfer system! Imakatsu IS-100 - Nothing too unique here. Just a shad-rap type bait. Vision 110 - Sakura Coach color which I hadn't seen before. Hoping its a smallie killer Megabass X80+1 - Hadn't seen these before either. Always nice to have a jerkbait that gets a bit deeper. Megabass SM-X Spriggan - didn't have a red colored mid-diving crank. This fills a void Hopefully this satisfies the monkey for a long while! 4 Quote
CrankFate Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Two out of three dark sleepers from Tackle Direct. The white one is backordered. The 2 bootlegs from China have been traveling around the world for weeks. It’ll be months before I get a line into water ??? 2 Quote

HazeRVA Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 I'm so weak....Just ordered a Tatula 100 for $98.99! Will be quite the upgrade over my Abu UltraMax. Now to get my free Daiwa/Huk shirt form ready! 1 Quote
Super User Gundog Posted February 26, 2019 Super User Posted February 26, 2019 Happy days are here again. My favorite spring sale is on. Wacky Worm in Gilbert, PA is holding its annual spring sale. Didn't buy much but got a good deal from a Mom & Pop shop. If you are in the Tri-state area stop in and pick up some good deals. 6 Quote
