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. Nice score! And after looking looking at your receipt, I am now a firm believer that time travel is possible! 1 Quote

How's their selection? If you're looking for soft plastics you can't beat them. They have a huge selection. Even have some hard to find plastics. Definitely worth stopping in. Check out their website for times they are open. 1 Quote

The only reason I don't get these exotic and usually expensive lures is because of the toothy critters. I got these second hand, and paid less for them than an average SK or Rapala bait costs. That won't reduce the guilt when I lose one though. Then again, I feel guilt when I lose a Ned head none the less a hard bait! Quote

They've been popping up a lot for me lately. Considering they're such a small store with NO online ordering thats super impressive. I love finding small hand dipped tubes from small companies for my river smallmouth; but most of the time they don't fit on my Cadman's Smallie Slider jigs. When one does though.... customer for life! 1 Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted February 27, 2019 Super User Posted February 27, 2019 I have been wanting to try out the Iovino plastics for a while but the price put me off. Found a seller on ebay with these to bags for $20 shipped so I went for it. They are the softest soft plastics I have ever felt and the SM Killer color is really great. I am going to fish them on little Slider heads and may give spilt-shotting them a go. 3 Quote

Quarry Man Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Added 5 new falcon bucoo sr's to the lineup, all on sale at tackle direct for 50% off. got there 7' ul and two 5'6" ul, but they have a moderate action an no backbone at all, leading to a very light and sensitive, yet whippy feel; therefore, they will be going back before I change my mind. https://www.tackledirect.com/falcon-brs-1l-17-bucoo-sr-ultralight-spinning-rod.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAh9njBRCYARIsALJhQkF4echSXbLbliLnOnKNXC8X7ApF6MFQVrIYpS_s2YNb3Q-prkWuLJ0aAtCUEALw_wcB Quote

It works great with the little ned rig hooks. still handles decent sized fish. Landed one over 5lbs. with it. Walmart has the Luck E Strike American Originals G5 crankbaits for $3.00. I love these little crankbaits. they run like the original wiggle warts. Plus they come in unique colors 2 Quote
Glaucus Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 My order came in. 5 Dobyns Fury rods. I was going to put Tatula CT reels on them, but I found Fuegos for $60 each so that made my decision for me. I got these Presidents at half price at a going out of business sale. 663C, 664C, 662S, 663S, 705CB (I like shorter rods, didn't have a choice with the CB though) 9 Quote

Super User Jrob78 Posted February 28, 2019 Super User Posted February 28, 2019 A few BFS jigs, Dark Sleepers and SKT's to replace some I lost last spring. Oh, and a Lucky Craft Chinu O Tiny crank to try out. 6 Quote

Gonna be another few weeks at the earliest before fishing is possible in the North. This is my first Dobyns experience. I was skeptical of their power rating system. But I contacted Gary and asked some questions here as well and got led in the right direction. They feel great. Quote

I'm a Daiwa fanboy and biased towards Tatula. At best I can only ever find them at 100 bucks. At best. Compare that with finding Fuegos at 60 and that's quite a bit saved going that route after paying full price for the Furys. Quote

So far it seems like the old loomis mbr 784 rods are the most “reasonsble” option but I have yet to find one in ebay for a price I like. Otherwise Japan/SE Asia has options in the form of snakehead rods, but they start pricy and go up from there. Quote

It's great rod - I use it mainly for jigs, I prefer the 3/8-1/2oz with a trailer. A 168 s-waver overloads it a bit from a swimbait perspective. It's perfect for frogging. TBH I wanted the 704/734c but it was sold out at the time. I've chatted with Gary a couple of times, he's awesome and very knowledgeable. I'm a Dobyns fanboy for sure. He's got some awesome terminal tackle too. The swimbait jigheads with a weedguard look legit, 4 prong keeper. 1 Quote
