CrankFate Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 My wife picked where we were going for vacation. Which really put the bait monkey on me, since she never picks anywhere with bass or saltwater that I’d be prepared for. I couldn’t have the kids learning to fly fish on location, so this is for them to use (except the fly rod). These KastKing rods are the real deal. These are legit fishing rods that also happen to be telescopic. The are more MH than M and faster than the “mod fast” as advertised. If you need an all around MH Fast travel rod, with a little give in the tip. This is it. I bet theres quite a few people out there who’d know where abouts we’re going just from the looks of this baitmonkey project. 10 Quote

I needed to get my yearly upgrade and decided on this one. I have never owned a Cronarch and look forward to seeing what it can do. If it's anything like the old ones your going to be very happy. 1 Quote

Make sure the treble hooks and scented bait are legal for the specific waters before you take them, I can’t recall the regs Quote

I don’t really want to pinch them all down. How did you do? Quote

I have never fly fished. I still have to get out and practice. Not sure if it’s worth it to fly fish. A lot of people are using spinners. 1 Quote

Everything that can go wrong, does. You line gets wrapped on everything. Also, fly line gets stuck on everything. You wouldn't think it would, being super big around. But when everything comes together right, there is nothing better! Lake Taneycomo fly rod trout^ 7 Quote

I use to target them, but the big ones seem to eat bass baits better, so they just became a bycatch instead. They're almost a nuisance at times. Usually get them on 110 sized jerkbaits, this one on a 3/8oz bladed jig this spring was a first. My buddy went back to back cast on these 2 with a Duo 110. He's a big boy that normally makes fish look small. 8 Quote
CrankFate Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 @Bluebasser86 that’s what I need. Actually, those are bigger than I expect to catch. Quote

Super User BrianMDTX Posted July 7, 2021 Super User Posted July 7, 2021 Somebody said “use a big worm!”, so I took that for action. Stopped by Academy on the way home and picked up some Zoom Mag O Monster 12” worms in Red Shad. Bought a pack of Gammy 5/0 EWG’s to use on ‘em. Well, I was there, and tried to be (semi) frugal. Picked up some 4” Rage Menace in green pumpkin for jig trailers, some new Gammy 3/0 EWG’s and a H2O Hard Jointed Sunfish swimbait in Bluegill. 9 Quote
Smells like fish Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 I’ve been wanting a Gantarel for awhile now and the monkey twisted my arm today til I laid out the cash. Bought it at 5pm and had it wet by 7! No takes today but impressed with what I saw. I almost thought it suspended but it is an extremely slow riser. Looks amazing. I am so impressed with its many actions I am ready to buy a couple of the bluegill patterns. And oh yea 3 more packs of Liz-Zards lol 8 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted July 10, 2021 Super User Posted July 10, 2021 Taking my Mexican Jerkbait game up a level with the new Lucky Craft Pointer 158 ! This ones a mouthful for sure. Hoping to feed these to a few Giants down south. For size reference, the middle baits are a standard MB 110 and a LC 128 . . . . A-Jay 7 Quote
