Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)

[evo2s197]

This is my new favorite trailer, paired with a tungsten 1/2 brown keitech casting jig is deadly lately, lot's of hits just deadsticking.

Well after procrastinating for most of the season I finally bought one, it was hard to choose one really. With all of the reviews of digital scales being all over the place it makes you leary to spend money on something that might not work right when you need it lol. Now I probably won't catch a fish worth weighing the rest of the year, I still have time to hit my goal but it won't be easy. My goal is a 6lb largemouth not impossible but harder to do here in Michigan.

Early Birthday present arrived this week. My first JDM purchase, the Abu Garcia Roxani spinning reel. 
 

 

Looks great on my Denali AttaX rod

Is it just the angle or is the handle on that thing bigger than usual?

Just the angle. Makes the power knob look huge as well.

Sweet.  Those look like a Bubba's slim shad.  I think this design was originally a 'carolina crank' or something like that.

They kind of seem like a Spro Little Jon and a H2O Flat Sided Squarebill had a baby. They do look a lot like that bait in the link though. Hopefully be giving them a test run Saturday.

Very nice was thinking about the preorder from TW on them. I won’t need them for winter because I’ll have ice. 
 

The OG Slim has worked on river Smallies all season. Fish it no different than a DT really. 
 

There are two patterns of the Chick I should do well with. 
 

Good luck.

By my calculations, that’s about 4 decades worth of tackle

Even if I only get a measly 100 bass per individual bait, I think your math is just about right on. I’ll probably have to list who gets the unused bags in my will upon my demise - lol

Wow that’s awesome, and great write up. Glad they took some notice and gave you two lifetimes worth of baits.

You might be a trend setter. Mine arrived today.

[bulldog1935]

rigged up a few Slim SwimZ on 1/15 oz Texas-eye jigheads for some tide pass finesse coming up in a few weeks. 

And yes, they went into an all-Ela-ZTech box.

I was pushed.  It's not my fault.... at least that's what I keep telling myself. 

 

 

A new Met is coming tomorrow .

A little bit of everything.   Jigs, soft plastic and maybe topwater.
