If we ever go fishing together someday, I know I won't need to bring any rods, reels, or tackle.  I'll just borrow yours.  It'll sorta be like "renting" from the floor of a retail store for a few hours.

 

Me: I'll take this rod paired with this reel, with this lure in this color.

 

You: Done.  I've got it all.

 

😄

 

Seriously though, I'd love to be able to fish with you and all the members here! For us who live in closer proximity, we could probably make it happen some time.

My unnecessary purchase today: I've been enjoying a Cashion Element Multi-Purpose rod as my truck bed rod, throwing almost everything I want to on it. Usually 129, but Sportsman has it for 91. No brainer for me

 

(in all fairness, I do have a reel without a home, so that wasn't fair to the reel)

That was beautiful.

I get up before sunrise

Get outta bed on time

I don't worry bout taking a shower

Cause showering's a waste of my time

 

Show usually starts around sunrise

I take a break around 9

Hit spot lock and strech my legs

sippn' coffee and feeling fine.

 

We've been dancin' with Mr. bait monkey

He's been knockin, he won't leave me alone

No, no , no, oh- oh

 

I used to buy a little but the little wouldn't do it,

So the little got more and more-or-or

I just keep trying to get fish a little better

Said a little better than before-or-or...

What is a jigging handle?  That might be something I need to look at. Thanks 

It is where they put a spinning handle on backwards to create a foregrip

I made a couple of small purchases to keep the monkey happy.

Really like those Power Slides. I still curse Rapala for ending the 13 Fishing line of baits. The hard baits were top notch!

realized I was down to 1-1/2 packs of 3/0 flashy swimmers so time for a flashy restock

[killobet]

My first Raid🤩🤩🤩

After my restocking supply arrived today I think I’m good on wacky rig O-rings for a little while. At 5 cents a piece, nothing beats buying in bulk.

Low Modurus? Lol- sounds like asian for modulus 🤡.

Snagged and lost a lucky A-rig last weekend, bummer but it caught 100+ fish so it lived a good life. I'm down to my last mini rig so time for a fall restock. Punch fishing 15% code took out some of the sting.

The Bait Monkey got me for a few this week.  The Megabass White Butterfly is one the best colors I've seen.  I know the bass don't care but man, I wish I would have bought two of each.

I like it. Is that a new color? Kind of a muted version of White Python.

Newest respect color. The pink hit on the chin looks looks great. Reminds me of their THU white walker custom.

Similar, with less black in cracks and it has like a soft touch matte finish. It also has a hit of a pinky orange under the lip.

Definitely looks like white walker.

 

Very cool looking but....  the one that will catch the most fish will be the Evergreen CR-10 in Red Spawn.  The CR-10s have out produced most of my other full size crankbaits.

Picked up a couple CR-10s that Amazon was selling for half price recently, unfortunately one was a return that someone had swapped a generic crank into.

Amazon made it right, was just funny opening the package and seeing this junk.

Took advantage of a few sales going on out there on the ol' worldwide web. Not sure what's going on with the Bait Fuel. It's always been clear for me. I wonder if it's old? Anybody else ever get any that has a slight yellow/brown tint to it?

Nice haul @NorthernBasser, unfortunately I can’t help you with the Bait Fuel issue, but I think you’re on the right track. I’m of the Pro Cure, Megastrike discipline when it comes to scents for fishing.

I do use Megastrike as well, which I like. Never heard of Pro Cure before. I'll have to check that out.

Well dang it, I'm gonna have to get one this winter now.

It's part of the Respect Series. It will be a one time offering. When it's gone, it's gone.

So I finally got my Birthday Box my wife bought from The Hook Up Tackle and for $100, I don't think I've seen a better deal, especially for OSP baits.  The 4 packs of dice and the 5 packs of beavers alone are worth it. All together I got 25 packs of softplastic.  The only thing that might be a bust is the micro MMZ worms. They are smaller in diameter than a spaghetti noodle.

The crawfish version is greasy and smells like a horse's azz. I keep a small spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol with me to wash the stank off my fingers after I use this stuff.
