Spring fevers getting to me. Held out strong for awhile but...that big swimbait "broke the ice" on my tackle purchases of 2018

Is that the 16" Line Thru? Looks like it has the wire pre-rigged and double hook.

It is pre-rigged with the belly treble and stinger in back, but its the 10" slow sink in Walleye.

Cool, I didn't know they did that with any of them other than the monster 16" bait.

All the versions sold in Europe come pre rigged in the package, from the 6" to the 16"....

Maybe they all are now. I stocked up when they first came out and they're so durable that I haven't had to buy any more of them yet. You get some of the cool stuff there that we don't get here. I've been wanting to try some of the line thru sandeels for bass but seems they're only online overseas. They look like a really fast falling senko with a line thru system from what I've seen, could be a really deadly bait for bass.

They´re awsome! However, i´m not sure if they have the line thru concept, if they have it´s a recente thing. The ones that i bought have a jig head and a stinger on the small versions:

 

 

And a built in jig head and bottom treble on the bigger versions:

 

 

But don´t let that stop you from trying one, i´ve bought them inicially for pike and wels catfish but soon discovered that bass really like them to! Another one that i recomend you to try (if you did´nt do it allready) is the 3D trout:

 

 

I also bought this ones in the biginning with pikes, Wels and zanders in my mind but soon realized that they are a very good bass bait, i´ve caught a bunch of them on the 5", 7" and 8" sizes, no ones on the bigger 11" but i don´t have bass in the sizes you guys have.

This is actually the bait I'm talking about, the line thru sandeel. They're a pretty new bait still, so I'm hoping maybe they'll be released here eventually.

neither a place north of orillia called ellwood epps

Is Epps still in the same old building? I haven't been there in close to 20 years. Always stopped and bought stuff on the way to Lake Kipawa. They had good prices even then

Good grief that NZ Crawler is giant.  I think its a cool bait, but I wish it came in something 50-60% as big!

[kylek]

I purchased a 6'9" ML Veritas 2.0 spinning rod this weekend for 35.00!  Was on sale from $99.00 to $69.99, then got 50% off of that price!!!

Its definitely a beast. I've got plenty of big swimbaits and whatnot, but nothing with this kind of width. The aventa or full size pompadour might be up your alley if you want something a little smaller

It was at a local tackle store in Liberty, MO called Rogers Sporting Goods.  I will probably go purchase another bait cast rod too for that price.

I work there and I can tell you that someone made a mistake. But good deal for you. They are supposed to be 50% off regular price so you got a deal because one of the new girls at the counter didn’t pay attention. 

[Dirtyeggroll]

I was supposed to go into Scheel’s only to try on sunglasses and I couldn’t resist these on clearance. I bought all that was left...

I did however, achieve my original goal and am now in the market for some Costa Jose or Blackfin 580G Green mirrors.

Guys, I think you'll find these Veritas 2.0 rods at considerable discount this spring.  They had a couple at a DSG near me for $35 also.  There is a new 3.0 out and makes sense they are clearing out the 2.0's.

Stepping up my swimbait game.

 

 

 

[bigbill]

I purchased more custom painted crankbaits from River Rat on eBay. He has some nice looking baits.

 

thanks bluebasser86 I just purchased those eels to try.

 

there the same color as the real eels I see at the shoreline at night.

[MIbassyaker]

Haven't bought anything fishing-related in months.

 

Recently I got an email from Megastrike saying 20% off with code "Spring18".  

 

Well, OK, why not:

Strikeback spinnerbaits, shakeyheads, double tail grubs, tubes, megabugs, & fat shads...

 

Just enough for the discount to offset shipping, which is good enough for me.  For now.

[Junger]

In an effort to up my Ned Rig game, I ordered some interesting looking baits.

I got hit by going to Raul King to get some Diet Faygo and ending spenting $50 on mudville catmaster catfish products and some crappie lures.
