"Ferrari" lo I'm waiting on the pics of your Bugatti Chiron. ;D
Just never been a fan of the round reels no matter if they colored them to look like gold and smacked a very high price on them. But I can respect a nice reel and what others like.

Had to scratch the itch a bit today. Was down to my last few squarebills and chatterbaits.

The squarebills or the chatterbaits. I would think the chatterbaits would be killer in your area with all the grasses.

Funny how some just do killer on chatterbaits and some not so much. I am trying to use chatterbaits a little more but who knows how that will work out.

As for the squarebills I only have a few places with rock or structure that I feel like they wont get hung every cast so mine dont get used but on certain occasions.

Pretty much could take both completely out of my arsenal and I would survive no problem. Unlike my jigs, soft plastics, and my spinnerbaits.  ;D

Nice haul cojab glad the monkey is at your place.  lo   

Lipripper

Yep cojab you and the monkey had a good time together.  lo lo Thanks for getting him before he got to my door.  ;D

If there's a fish on it or in it that monkey had to have his hand in there somewhere.  lo lo

Yep, it is strange. Confidence I guess.
Chatterbaits and squarebills probably accounted for half my fish last year. At least a quarter on frogs and the rest on plastics and a few other cranks.
I have a spring trip to Missouri coming up and you can bet squarebills will be used a bunch. I would really like to figure out jigs though.

And I guess I never posted this but I couldn't pass up a Cyber Monday sale. The top rod is my new Dobyns 705 CB Glass. Not even out of the wrapper yet.
I'll be slinging those squarebills with this as soon as the water softens up a bit.
And I guess I got bit worse than I thought because there will be one more purchase later this week to sit on that rod and another purchase in April. That should take care of the monkey for awhile. I hope!

Rod came for the Calcutta. I dont know why, but these original Halo Daylite rods seem to be a good deal at $60 shipped to me. High guide count, straight, and pretty light.

Them  ;PHO) look nice are y'all taking them with your phone? I'm still trying to get a good  ;PHO) of the rod Mr Lee made for me but every time I try it doesn't look too good. I just got a newer phone about a month ago and I haven't tried it with this one yet. Maybe it will take a better picture than my last one. ;D
