MichaelCopeland Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Well I went to Academy today looking for some Zoom Centipedes, no luck. However, I did pick up some of these. Zoom 10" Ol' Monsters in junebug red and some 6"Â Zoom Ultravibe Speed Worms in green pumpkin. Hoping to try them out tomorrow or at least soon. 6 Quote

Awesome.   Whopper Plopper is my favorite lure. Quote
CTBassin860 Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Picked up some 40# Daiwa J-braid x8. The 40 has the same diameter as 50# 832. Time to find out what this stuff is made of as ill be pitching heavy cover and lots of stumps with it. 3 1 Quote
MichaelCopeland Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 I have been seeking the Zoom Centipede in Wal Mart, Academy and Holloway here in Pineville and Alexandria, La. with no luck. Finally went to Louisiana Archery today, for the first time, and found them. Got me a pack! Now I recall, in a different post and topic, @Catt recommended fishing them Carolina rigged. I have a question. I know in a Carolina rig the worm or soft plastic is Texas rigged. My question is, how do you Texas rig a centipede? I ask because they have an awkward kind of look to them. As you can see in the pics below. Please show a pic of it so I  can see what it looks like. Thanks in advance for all the helpful knowledge you've given me thus far. 3 Quote
Falkus Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 After I sold my gears that I rarely use and wanted to go different direction on the stuff. Those have arrived at my door ready to be adopted. I still have few parts coming in (96mm handles for on three baitcasters)  did the monkey get me ?       12 Quote

I love the arky's but wanted to try out something new, so  I grabbed a sniper jig and that g2 football jig.  Siebert's Dock Rocker is a great alternative to the arky style jig! 2 Quote

Super User MassYak85 Posted August 5, 2017 Super User Posted August 5, 2017 I must say though, I underestimated that 8" WRS. Looking at the side view of them in pictures they don't look particularly bulky for their length. Let me tell you though that thing rivals an 8" hudd for shear bulk. It's deceptively wide. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted August 6, 2017 Super User Posted August 6, 2017 Well, here's the first delivery of my Black Friday in August binge. I finally started throwing jerkbaits this past year and figured it was about time to get a dedicated setup. Also, strangely never had a Wiggle Wart.      10 Quote

Super User Master Bait'r Posted August 7, 2017 Author Super User Posted August 7, 2017 Well, as usual...  I go looking for one thing and talk myself into a completely different deal.  Bait Monkey strikes again!    Was looking for a lighter swimbait rod that could also handle big jigs and the occasional inshore duty and came across the following gem:  a 7'11" Shimano Crucial (green blank, full cork) MH/F swimbait casting rod for $99 BNIP.  She's a smidge lighter than I was originally looking for, but 1-3oz is actually pretty ideal for what my actual (read: not internet delusions of grandeur) life intentions for this rod will call for and I know for a fact I love the Crucial handles and blanks.  I just got confirmation on shipping and it should even get here before I leave Sunday for a 3 day fishing trip out on horseneck at a friend's grandfathered-in shack out past the state beach.  No running water, no electricity, lots of beer and lots of boating, fires on the sand and my most pressing decision being which Alchemist or Lawson's brew to sip on next.  It's been years since a legit "me" vacation.  I cannot wait.    5 1 Quote
Crop9 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Well...I got a $25 gift card from my manager today as thanks for presenting in our department's business review. Ended up at DSG to just "look". Walked out with 2 Yo Zuri Sashimi Shad, similar to these.  2 for $5 bucks each.....why not? Though, Im hoping they perform as well as they are colored! 4 Quote

Russ E Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Stopped by Cabelas today to look for sales. bought 3 Whopper Ploppers and of course had to have a new baitcasting combo for the whopper Ploppers. ended up costing me $160.00. Living 5 minutes from Cabelas can be expensive. 6 Quote

I think it was 5 or 6 days from the time I ordered until they were in the mailbox.  Get a chatterbait to, while you're at it, those things are awesome! 2 Quote
