The Pack Chunk and Grits Side sounds like baits you get off Wish.com. 

 

(NetBait does have some great soft plastics)

Yeah it does haha. My phone is a piece of crap at the moment and puts random words in .

 

so there is a store called northwoods in Michigan. They sell knock of bandits for walleye trolling.  They look very similar but, are called banditos haha

Although I don’t know for sure my local Walmart isn’t offering that deal ☹️. I’m going to have to stop in tomorrow to be sure ?

Been hearing good things about these. Going to give them a try.

Never heard of them.

Apologies for the terrible glare, but these x-zone finesse baits look great for drop shot or even neds. Also "needed" some more trailers and swammers.

 

Really looking forward to tossing these yamatanukis under some docks. Reminds me of a solid pieced ika.

Coming Soon

I have this one. It's fun to fish but it's definitely light in tip department.  It excels with the Ned rig but I haven't found anything else yet that I like to fish, on regular basis, with it. Great rod though.  Let us know what you think.?

[NorthernBasser]

Some re-stocks and a few new baits I've been wanting to try. The Strike King Scounbug looks like it's gonna be a winner. Nothing earth-shattering but I really like the slender craw design. After hearing all the hype about Bassman spinnerbaits I figured I'd give them a shot. They don't seem like anything special out of the package, so hopefully they perform better than they look. I'm always tinkering with different Chatterbait trailers, even tho there's already enough great ones out there. But these Pro Point Machete Minnow's really intrigued me. I bet they're gonna look great in the water.

Those Machete Minnows look fire, all that stuff does.   You have great taste in tackle, I know because I get jelly when you post ?

All of those look really nice, I bet you those machete minnows will be really good. I would eat that if I was a fish. Of course I already eat everything as is, I am definitely convinced that fish will eat anything if you present it correctly.

I'll be shocked and heartbroken of those Machete Minnow's don't look as amazing as I'm hoping. And they're made of a pretty tough plastic (especially for having salt content). They seem like they'll really hold up well.

Re-stocks? How can you possibly need to re-stock anything with a shed full of tackle?

Well I did need more Paca Slims, line and wanted to replace a DT-10 that got bit off by a toothy critter.

That’s actually legit and we both know it!

 

Those machete minnows look pretty good too.

[JediAmoeba]

For 18 each I have to try them. Probably end up giving them to a kid though.

Just a few things to add to my crappie arsenal - though they'll probably work for bass as well.

Nice. Have you gotten any of the 6th Sense Peco Minnows yet? Comes rigged with 4 replacement tails. And you can buy more tails for replacements or different colors. Here's a few of the nice colors they offer. 1.5".

Picked up a few things. Still waiting on Shimano to bring out the new Vanquish.  It was supposed to be out in early March. I liked the Steez A II so much, I picked up the high speed version.  I also found the color I have been hunting for in the Deps Slide Swimmer 175. The coolest thing is the Megabass jacket. It's fantastic.  I would it put up against any of the stuff I have from Simms or Arcteryx but at a fraction of the cost.

Would you be willing to adopt a starving man child from poverty-stricken Alabama? ?

Thanks to @a1712 I placed my first order at AliExpress. Wish me luck! I used PayPal so I'm not worried. Both stores I bought from had really good reviews.

 

Ended up getting another Tatula Elite and Curado 70 MGL. Paid $310 total (retail $500). Hard to beat that. But man, this could get dangerous. I spent the last 2 hours browsing handles, knobs, spools etc. 

 

They have the Tatula casting rods in split handle! Anybody ever order rods from AliExpress?

Check out the Ray's DIY Carbon Fiber Handles, I have them on 20+ reels. It's nice that you can select length, retainer, nut, retainer screw, and post colors, they also come in black or silver CF. <$30 SHIPPED TO YOUR DOOR. Brian.
