More delicious treats.

Got a pack of the white jerk minnows as a gift(mystery box thingy) and I LOVE IT. Going to stock up on different colors. My fav soft jerkbait by far.

If bluegill is primary forage in your area get some in Junebug too. It's been killer here. Strangely, Junebug anything else has been a dud for me around here since forever, but in the Jerk Minnow it's been money.

Re-stocked on some Easy Shaker's (awesome drop shot bait) and some Super Chunk Jr's, which I really like for finesse jig trailers.

 

 

 Along with the Cavitron, War Eagle is probably my favorite buzzbait. 

 

 

Siebert order. The Baby Rage Craws are also great finesse jig trailers.

 

 

TW 4th of July sale. The new TW Black Blue color is probably my new favorite. I hate that it's TW exclusive since I'm used to getting Jackhammer's around $11-$12 other places. But TW doesn't run many sales like that, so I took advantage of the 15% off and got 5 more. Never fished these Hag's baits but figured I'd try them out. I thought they looked a little familiar. Turns out they look a lot like one of the Googan baits.

How you fishing those Namazu's? Free rig? That's the only way I have used them. Only fished a few times with them but no luck.

I just got them and haven't tried them yet. I plan to Free Rig the 4in and fish 5in weightless.

Felt like the appropriate thread to put this in. Is the Megabass PopMax the greatest trap the bait monkey has ever devised? I mean just look at these things

 

Its like bait that came from a candy store

God bless your wallet @NorthernBasser, you aren't a victim of the bait monkey, rather the dang monkey himself 🤣

 

In all seriousness I always appreciate your posts because of the great pics.

I'm not the monkey though. @LrgmouthShad @Jmurphy87 and the other guys who buy $100+ swimbaits regularly have me beat. 🙉🙈🙊

Oh jeeze, you're right. I goofed there. It's actually the fella I was quoting, @AlabamaSpothunter, who has the swimbait collection! Also, have @PhishLI post a pic of his swimbait wall.I'm small potatoes.

[GreenPig]

Fishbite rod holders for dragging.

All I have to say is stay away from swimbait underground. They have a bait silverback. I’ve met him a few times. My wallet was not, nor still is, happy about those visits…

That big hairy dude got me again last night. I’m beginning to hate him but I like when he shows that massive silverback face.

I completely understand!

I will add that I’ve fished it 3 times since I left my initial review. Now I’m in the same boat as you, I want another one!

I've always been a fan of rebel lures, especially for their versatility in small creeks and rivers. I saw these at my local Meijer (large grocery store similar to Walmart, for those not familiar the Midwest). Can't wait to try these out. (I already know the Wee-Craw works wonders.)
