flippin and pitchin Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I often see the the dozens of new lures coming out or lures that are new to me and just couldn't see it as a fish catcher. My buddy and I split a TW order to save shipping and he asked me to add a Black Dog Shell Cracker. He urged me to get one. I looked at it and the 20.00 tag and said it's not for me. He took that thing out in a recent outing a few weeks ago and blew my doubts away. I wish I had listened to his instincts but I didn't. Wait till next season. Been there ?? Quote
quanjig Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Looking to purchase a couple megabass ito110's. Just have to make up my mind which colors!! Quote
ChrisAW Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I tried a lot of different soft plastics this year and have definitely narrowed down the ones I'll have stocked in my box for next year. Quote
RyneB Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Banjo Minnow, wait, did i just say that? All kidding aside. I wanted a Mattlures bluegill swimbait and just couldnt pull the trigger. Finally one winter while internet shopping the bait monkey got to me. I have yet to catch a fish on it, but havent really thrown it that often. Im fine with baits, my problem is wanting rods and reels. 1 Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 The man's got instincts ! Quote
1234567 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Do you have better luck working the G2 slow waking it, twitching or cranking it down? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 6, 2011 Super User Posted November 6, 2011 Most of my fish have come ripping the bait back. I keep the rod tip level. More like "bulging" then waking. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 6, 2011 Global Moderator Posted November 6, 2011 First time I fished in a boat with someone throwing a LC pointer. I sore that my husky jerks were just as good until I got outfished about as bad as I ever have. I have dozens of them now. Quote
SDoolittle Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I'm fine with baits, my problem is wanting rods and reels. Ditto. I rarely get excited about new baits, but I drool over new rods and reels. Quote
WCCT Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I am willing to bet the Alabama Rig would do wonders on those big smallmouth down on the river when they are schooling. I just don't know if I could pull the trigger on one of them yet. I often see the the dozens of new lures coming out or lures that are new to me and just couldn't see it as a fish catcher. My buddy and I split a TW order to save shipping and he asked me to add a Black Dog Shell Cracker. He urged me to get one. I looked at it and the 20.00 tag and said it's not for me.

1234567 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Haha. I fell for it. Should be here on Monday. Quote
brushhoggin Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 <<<another future Mattlures floating blugill swimbait owner. Can't wait to let one of em suspend next to some grass mats. i get a rush just thinking about it Quote
lavbasser Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I bought a Black Dog Lunker Punker this year. The Shell Cracker looks good as well. Lots of good wake bait options. Quote
