Oklahoma Mike Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Couple of Magdrafts, few Huds, some Spark Shads, the Lobinos from the TW giveaway (they sent me the Rico and the Rio Rico both in Cosmic Shad, a color I already had in both)… VMC crossover rings, some 5” HP 3D Wacky worms, braid, some Dark Sleepers, some more Trokar hooks from the TW sale, and some Hyabusa spin muscle hooks (my favorite Neko and wacky hook ever). My wallet needs a break from the monkey. 11 Quote

walleyecrazy Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Just got my “last” two orders in to allow me to give BFS fishing a try this year. I love the feel of this reel, and I must say I’m truly impressed with the quality of some of these little BFS lures. 10 Quote
Super User bulldog1935 Posted January 19, 2022 Super User Posted January 19, 2022 well this is a busy page during winter. I've been adding some lures - these are all handmade wood lures from Japan for bass. The Heddon Zaragossas are made by Smith, along with the Hutley's Mercury. Mostly topwater, the propeller lure is Haneda Craft Barrel II. The tiny lures, also wood, are for limestone creek endemic bass (Texas brook trout) on my finesse 1500C and Troutia rod. The Lure Rep on the left floats, the Ito Craft Bowie and smaller Lure Rep both sink - small trebles will get single plug hooks. These are salt lures, two topwaters on top, everything else sinks with the exception of the Blazeye Evoroots in the lower right, which is a neutral-density wakebait. Imitating glass minnows, shrimp, and mullet from fall into big winter mullet. The top two are Tackle House K-Ten lipless minnows. The Duo Toto come with salt trebles, the Duo Spearhead will get salt plug singles. I wish you could see the color of the Ima B-Ta on the lower left. It's blue on top, fading to purple through halfway, also dark on bottom, and it's translucent purple - very mullet-looking sheen. 11 Quote

Dark sleeper rod is supreme for those (go figure) so I would look at specs and try and match it as close as you can. A jig rod is not really ideal as the hooks are on the smaller size compared to jigs but preference varies Quote

jimanchower Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 I have hobbies other than fishing and I see people succumb to the FOMO effect, and I just smile to myself because I'm more measured and restrained than them. "The mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column, which is interesting because you can see yourself behaving in this terrible way but you can't control it." - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas I dutifully bought my TW gift card at a 10% discount to set me up for tackle purchases over the year. I stocked up during the black Friday sale so I should be set for a while. Then, I got a 20% off code from TW. Then I heard about Megabass price increases - snapped up a Levante. And Shimano price increases - snapped up a Metanium. I convinced myself that I could actually slim down my rod collection by buying a G. Loomis MBR. Is it spring yet? 3 Quote
evilcatfish Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 Won a pack of Rico blems and had to come up with a few things to get that free shipping. Pretty happy with the colors I got on the Ricos 7 Quote
