Great looking bait, I'll be interested to hear how it produces. I've been using a Mega Sexy Dawg as my poor man's Punker. The 6" Punker walks terrible and I don't want to give a kidney for a used wooden 8" Punker. 

If you're looking for large walk-the-dog baits there are plenty of options in the musky world starting at 6" on up. Weagle, one-eyed willy, jackpot, etc.

Got my dark sleeper order in! Let’s see what these things are all about 

[Jrob78]

Picked up several balsa crankbaits over the last month. 

 

Zoom WEC Round Bill Peanut (x2), Zoom Lightning Bolt

Tim Earick Dinky Donker, Zoom Sweet P, Zoom Square Z

Barr EKW, Black Label CBS 1, Jaw Jacker 1.5

[Tizi]

Just pulled the trigger on the following combos:

 

American Legacy:  Shimano SLX Combo (6'10" medium and 150HG reel) for $125 shipped after 10% off.  Use jerkbait fishing.

 

Sportsmans Outfitters - Daiwa Tatula 100 and Daiwa Tatula XT 7' ML casting rod - $185 shipped. Use light crankbaits.

 

Pretty excited to get 2 nice combos for $310.

Gonna switch back to a lurker on the site for awhile but figured I should share this score thanks to the sale thread DSG and Lurenet’s specials page. All this for 84 plus or minus some change. Apparently I am all in on the Ploppers 75, they better work good lol. 

[CrankFate]

Finally. My last Ali Express order. These fake dark sleepers smell like plastic and used motor oil. I should probably get a few real ones in this size.

 went for some walleye stuff and ended up with another squarebill and vibrating jig to the collection 

I can’t believe you got that rapala! Saw those on sale 15-20 or so years ago and bought every single one. I thought they stopped making them back then! I still have a bunch of them. But strangely only caught smallmouths on them. I don’t know why?

Was just reading about that --- now I gotta make some order in

[Bluebasser86]

Almost too pretty to fish with. If you're not using Duo jerkbaits you're missing out.

Giving the new Outkast ned heads a whirl this year. My buddy Josh Douglas designed them. They have some subtle differences from most of the ned heads. Can't wait to give 'em a whirl for smallies & walleyes this year. 

 

[Bluebasser86]

10 packs of green pumpkin and watermelon Powerbait Maxscent "The General" worms at Wal-Mart this morning for $1.50 a pack, score!

[Falkus]

Nice Score there

[Columbia Craw]

Local tackle dealer had a hot ad with Seagar Smackdown for 17.99 a spool.  That'l work. Also found some Keitech Fats 3.8 in good colors for under five bucks. I'm set.

Brand new ! Shimano Zodias rod , omg this thing is light weight and sensitive , feels like tremors going down the rod , can’t wsit to truly test it out this week. Using it for jigs , T rigs and spinnerbaits. 

[jbsoonerfan]

You will LOVE the Zodias!!! What reel are you pairing it with?

[ItsHardwick]

You will absolutely love the zodias. I bought my first one about 2 months ago and now I have 4. The newest 2 just came in a couple days ago. 

[Yumeya]

Flyssa and a new boat bag from Simms

Shimano makes awesome rods. No one can beat them if you factor in price.

Going to pick up a new reel

for it tomorrow. I’m thinking the quantum’s PT smoke or the quantum pro tour performance. I don’t reslly like the Shimano reels sadly.. lews and quantum reels are my thing.  Plus the grey, black and red on the smoke would look sick with the Zodias @jbsoonerfan

[jbsoonerfan]

A Quantum or Lew's on a Shimano stick 

 

Just kidding, that Smoke would look good on there.

Awesome looking lures, what color is the gold jerkbait? (ex:tennesse shad,gill) 

[Derek1]

Nothing fancy, my last three weeks impulse buys from dicks sales. Now we’re to put it. 

Sorry about the glare.

I bought 5 packs when they were on sale at Wal-Mart too. I wish I would’ve bought more because those baits catch fish! Awesome on the wacky

[gilkeybr]

The first hard bait I was ever taught to fish with was a Rapala Rattlin' Rap in Silver/Blue.  Since catching my early fish on that lure, that color combination has always had a special place in my fishing heart.

 

When I saw this color, I knew I had to get one.  Its like the ol' Silver/Blue taken to the extreme.  Very cool
