Ohio Archer Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 A Daiwa Lexa 300 to replace the 80's Shimano Bantam on my lighter Muskie rod. Couple packs of Storm 360Gt searchbaits. Spare prop for my Terrova. Next month will be a handheld VHF radio. Can't fish with it but need one in the boat. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted February 6, 2017 Author Super User Posted February 6, 2017 Uh oh.... I just realized my birthday is a couple days away. The bait monkey just sent me a card and now I can't stop looking at JDM DC reels ? 4 Quote

Yesterday morning I was out at the shop with my gf's stepdad (he paints custom crankbaits) when a local tackle shop owner came by to place an order. One thing led to another during our conversations, and he walked out to the truck and got one of his custom rods (that he builds) to "show us the thread work". Lets just say that now the bait monkey is all in my ear about getting one, it was by far the lightest rod I've ever held, and starting at the price point that they do... Well it is doable, unfortunately for me. Worst part is, I know that I don't need another rod... but maybe if I sell one of the Vendettas, and the pinnacle, and the KVD Tour... 1 Quote

Its hard to come up with reasons you *need* to upgrade from an Ito reel but I am a doer and there's always a way! Quote

The Big Z has a wide wobble, even on a fast retrieve. I like using it when the bite slows down on other cranks...it seems to get their attention back. Quote

Thanks I got the 2.0s for $18 this past holiday season from samuraitackle.com in Japan. They are back up to regular price now, so you'll have to wait until next December if you want them below retail from Samurai Tackle. U.S. retailers almost never discounts MB lures, so I get most of lures discounted from Japan. As a matter of fact, I just placed an order this past weekend for some Ito Shiners and saved over $20 over what I would pay a retailer here. (That's even considering the $13 Reg Air fee.) Quote
Burtonxj Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Some more Duo Spybaits. Love these things. 5 Quote

I have a 853S JWR that gets used a as much as any other rod in my arsenal. They were in the $200 range when they came out. I was thinking the same thing!!! That's a great deak On February 3, 2017 at 11:51 PM, Bunnielab said: I just gave it a shot the other day with one of the 10g ones. It very much wants a loop knot or split ring, but they have a nice subtle wiggle at low speeds and the price is right for throwing in all sorts of cover without much worry. Please report back if you have any luck with them. I catch fish on these but they are hit or miss. I'll either catch nothing or a couple biggies. I find they produce at night the best Quote
Mumbly Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Took advantage of the clearance deal at Dick's of buy 5 and get 5 free. They only had 5 of the jerkbaits so I just grabbed 5 crankbaits for my 5 free ones. 4 Quote
