I could pick it up for you since they are on my route home from work. Just place it under my name instead. :hello6:

 

Have you tried big 6" Swimbaits for bass up there? Just seems that my big N WI bass have all come on smaller lures. My vacation lake isn't that much further N than where you all are at.

I have not. I think @Fishin Dad said he intended to use more of them this upcoming season though.

A 3 lb bass up here will still easily annihilate a 6" swimbait. An 8" even. You won't get as many bites on these lures but point is, for me at least, is looking for that 5-plus pound bass.

 

The 6" Cullshad is pretty diminutive compared to some other swimbaits of the same size. 1-2# bass will easily eat that thing. As will pike, as you mention. 😄

By the time I went to order the cull shads were gone and luckily I was able to order one of the Finisher jerkbait things. I know it is a FFS bait, but I have liked the 6th sense hyperjerk, but feel it sometimes it runs to high, hoping the finisher has a similar action but runs lower in the water column.

 

So lesson learned on these sales order quickly if looking at popular items.

Yeah, I love Omnia but they definitely sell out fast on a lot of products.

I also have a hyper focused list of soft swimbaits, swimbait hooks and jigs, and jerkbaits. All part of my plan to beat the monkey. 

You can’t beat the monkey, you can only hope he continues to let you eat and live indoors.

As long as you feed him you will be OK.

Ever used them? I have a pack but haven’t given them much of a chance.

Local Walmart has 5" Senko packs for $2.50 and Plano Edge 3700 boxes for $14.50.  Might be worth checking your local stores.

Mine just has the stupid Ozark Trail plastics on sale for $1.

"17lb 200yd spool of seaguar Tatsu"

 

You know, I only have some half full 1000-yd spools of 12, 15 and 20. And I've never tried the 17. And the price is nice.  ;)

I've been trying to justify trying it out for years. I love using 17# for jigs and heavier cover chatterbaits. Thanks!

That’s a heck of a price for Tatsu. Unfortunately I end up with too much leftover with small spools & don’t use braid/leaders.

 

Not nearly as cheap but:

 

10lb 1000yd spools are $132.18 (30% off)

12lb 1000yd spools are $167.19 (27% off)

15lb 1000yd spools are $189.19 (18% off)

22lb 1000yd spools are $164.84 (43% off)

My Walmart deal wasn't as good as I thought.  The packs of 5" Senkos I bought only have 7.  I think everyone else sells packs of 10.

I starved mine.  One month going strong.  He's getting skinny over here.

Which are awesome!  I’ve caught fish on the Sinker Stick and Kicker tail worm. The stick bait sinks fast and is heavy with good waggle. I’ve heard somewhere Netbait made the plastics. JT Kenny was pushing them at one point.
