You got a great deal on a really effective lure. Don't just do the twitch - twitch - twitch - pause thing. They work on a straight retrieve, occasionally bumping bottom. 2 Quote
Harold Scoggins Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 NOS (New Old Stock) Just picked these up, dealer box included. The Risto Rap is one of my favorite balsa cranks and I'll always have one in my box. It has landed me many bass over the years and I call it my Shad Rap on steroids. https://www.bassresource.com/fishing_lures/Risto.html 5 Quote

Super User MIbassyaker Posted July 25, 2019 Super User Posted July 25, 2019 Successfully convinced my wife to tolerate a detour to the St. Croix Factory in Park Falls, WI while road-tripping back to Michigan from Minnesota. Got to check out some models in person I haven't seen in stores, browse the "B-stock" rods (former displays, trade-ins, minor blems, etc.), and watch the work going on in the factory for a bit.  Picked up a b-stock Mojo 6'8" M-XF, casting for $40 below the new price....in pristine condition as far as I can tell, aside from an unobtrusive "Handcrafted for...." inscription above the Mojo Bass logo. Also grabbed a hat and a used travel case. They let me take the travel case for free, and even threw in a free Daiwa spinning reel on a promotion (had the option of getting $30 off a baitcaster, but I already had a mate for the new rod waiting at home).  Great place to stop!   8 Quote
JediAmoeba Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 I just had a birthday (40) and I got a 100 dollar gift card to spend on tackle...so I got exactly what I don't need, 200 dollars in swimbaits. Bought a Gigantarel and ordered 2 slammers. I don't catch much on big swimbaits but for some reason I enjoy throwing them... 2 Quote
Trappernewt Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Having a buddy that works in a tackle shop doesn’t help me at all. I didn’t even need a reel. Now I guess I better get a rod as well.....it’s neverending. 1 3 Quote
Sphynx Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Lessee...bought some power bait dough, salmon eggs, split shot, and #8 bait holder hooks for trout...then because I have all the fly fishing stuff I picked up for my hopeful trip with a guide, then just because I have absolutely no control at all I bought a 2 packs of 7" curly tail worms, green pumpkin/black and blue, wanted 10" or 12" but this Cabelas didn't carry any, and I picked up a big Heddon Spook in bone color, 2 project z weedless chatterbaits...and I think it's going to absolutely pour here this weekend and I might not get a chance to fish...grrrr.

Trappernewt Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Cause I watched a Tactical Bassin video on cranking.......? 2 3 Quote
Sphynx Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Picked up one of those Cabela's Advanced Angler 2 backpacks and a couple of extra 3600 boxes, this thing is working out great, it carries 5 3600 footprint boxes, tons of soft plastics, raincoat, and a good bit of other stuff, I have found 5 3600's works just about bang on for me, terminal box, top water box, bottom box, middle water box, and a box for panfish/trout/other species. 1 Quote
Brad Reid Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 It's happening: age 67 comes along and I find myself narrowing down how I fish. So, I am selling all but one existing kayak, might get a light paddler but going out "finesse" more and more. Finesse presentations over power, too. One rod carried out versus multiple rods. Still . . . that monkey!!!  I suppose over the past year and more, I have used a particular approach in gear/presentation/plastics and it has worked in all seasons. I caught two 25" bass, 50 yds. apart, 30 minutes apart the other afternoon, realized I had used my last preferred plastic bait. Order time!  The Bait Monkey Victim Support Group will be able to tell exactly what I'm up to. Disregard the Beast hooks, a novelty I might give a try. Small hooks, fluoro leaders, Keitech 4" baits, one in particular. Brad    1 Quote

Super User fishwizzard Posted July 29, 2019 Super User Posted July 29, 2019 Ebay is a blessing and a curse.  Three I Slide 185 glidebaits for $100. One one of them looks like it has seen the water.  10 Quote

HoosierFisher Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Used a BPS gift card towards an AFTCO hooded sun shirt. Added a Bass Mafia Money Bag to get free shipping. I figure I will use it to store plastics under the seat on my kayak to keep them handy. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 31, 2019 Global Moderator Posted July 31, 2019 Picked this guy up for under $20. Works nice as a wake on a slow retrieve or a crank down if I move it a little faster. Â 6 Quote

boostr Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 I'm loving these swimbaits, but I have no luck with them be it a paddle tail, jointed soft plastic like a Savage Gear, or the hard plastic like what Bluebasser is throwing. I have some luck with a swim jig though. Quote
drscholl14 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Nothing special, stocked back up on VMC neko hooks, nail weights and got some Daiwa Fat Neko worms and Yum Genies to try out. Quote

I love their color selection, and $3 for a 7 pack of 8" fat straight tail worms, can't beat that! Really excited that they're offering other baits in 30 packs now. Got 2 30 packs of Christie Craws in my TW order today, only $10 a pack too! I'll have to take pictures of the rest of the order, mostly plastics. My orders aren't usually real exciting with my disdain for crankbaits and everything ?  How do you like those Yum Magnum Worms? Had my eye on them for a while but never used any. They look real good 1 Quote
