Did you get any of the GrandeBass swimbaits? A lot of mine had pretty bad bends in the tail. Not just the very end (paddle part) like you see with a lot of these type baits, but like the middle of the tail section. 

My order is still in "pre-shipment" phase. Three e-mails have gone unanswered and they don't list a phone # on the website. Last time I order from these guys.

 

Did your swimbaits come in a standard worm bag or packaged in a tray? The ones I ordered in the past came in a tray. I don't recall any being bent but, as I think I mentioned a while back, I don't have much luck with swimbaits and don't use them much. I'll try to dig them out later today and check.

Picked up a Garage Sale Sack from 6th Sense. Great value, not thrilled about the Draw/Trace colors, but they're work. I also picked up the Contender Jr bundle from Karls, and I've already caught a solid 4.5 on the bluegill pattern. Not a huge fan of Googan, especially their hard baits, but these things definitely work. They work so well that I went ahead and bought the larger size in both Baby Bass and Bluegill, also from Karl's because they're reasonable there. TBH, I do not believe these things are quite worth $20, but they do work.

this order was from Black Friday; I figured you guys would enjoy.

 

Took a leap of faith with the SB-77.7 (pictured above, color “Ghost Wakasagi”). It’s the most expensive lure I’ve ever bought (so far). I use the Heddon Boyo and Puppy for smallies, so I figured this bait would be right up my alley. I haven’t thrown the Shower Blows, but I like it! It sounds good, looks great, and exudes a fish-catching aura. Waiting for warmer water to try it out.

You will not regret it... you can walk the SBs so fast back and forth and they will nearly sit in place at the right cadence, fish cannot stand it walking in place like that without leaving fast like a spook or whopper plopper. Rerange was a great pick too.

I thought Storm did away with their Arashi line? That’s a surprise for me.

Those Bitsy Bugs produce awesome fish, especially if you live near Spots.   Big Spots just seem to love finesse jigs.

Thanks, obviously a noob. Was trying to compress to fit the filter and went a little overboard.

That Crush Flat at the top left drives bigger fish nuts.   Has a fantastic tight wobble, bounces off cover nicely, and has fantastic hooks.     You bought lots of good baits.   I have the Trace too.

They came in a tray and then in a bag. After further inspection, there's definitely more that aren't bent than are bent. Here are a few that are bent.

Just put them in some hot (not boiling) water for a bit, then lay them out...they'll straighten.

My contribution to the economy…

 

 

The 2 Fenwicks were part 1 of 4 pure fishing orders. The Psycho sticks were bought in October and the 7’2 H Legend Glass was from Black Friday.
 

And if you’re wondering, yes, I did buy the wife and kid something for Christmas too lol!
