lo
So, the Bait Monkey got me again. Picked up a Shimano aldebaren JDM MG NIB this evening. Why, oh why does the bait monkey do that? lo. Maybe a few ~beer~ (s) were consumed, making the bait monkey that much more influential!!
With that, of course I needed a rod to go with it because you cannot just pick up a sweet reel and not have a sweet rod, right? ~roflmao. I will leave you all in suspense, so take your guesses. But, I will say that it is aimed at spinnerbaits.

You can't stop the monkey with alcohol.

Well, the aldebaren finally came in Saturday. Fished it with the new rod--a Loomis SB813.
Wow, thats all I can say. The combo is so light and extremely accurate. Caught a few dinks, and one barely keeper, so the fish handling abilities have yet to be tested but I am sure that it will fare well.
I really like the length for those close is pitches.
So, now I have 2 rods/reels specifically aimed at spinnerbaits and chatterbaits -- the 736 with the HLC -- which is just a beast when it comes to hauling in bigger fish and the SB813/Aldy JDM. Also, there are 2 speeds -- HLC is 6.3 and aldy which is 5.8.

Buyee.co.jp. A site that allows international people to buy from different Japanese auction sites, I been buying from Yahoo auctions. Every now and then you can find some amazing deals. I got a Megabass IS71 in excellent shape, with box and papers, for $60 once.

Im gonna keep the honeycomb spool in the Aldebaran that I bought a bit back and fill it with 20lb Senshi to go back to regular duty on the MH Crucial rod.

Quote from: FISH520 on July 26, 2017, 05:23:14 AMThe spool is the same as the TD Zillions. So your options there are limited to that. But, the gold PE spool is an amazing mod for that reel. It can cast and pitch very well. Or, if you find a 100M spool.

I have to say that so far, out of the latest binge the SV103 remains a favorite -- like a reliable friend. I am using the H for skipping on a LSCR built for that very thing.....amazing.
But, - I have not picked a favorite out of those 4 yet. --> Diawa Ito, SV103H, Shimano Excense DC, and Shimano Anteras
The exsence is just in a whole different class. it'll skip, it'll most definitely chuck them, and has some nice spool control features. I was only home for one day before getting back on a plane today....but I am really happy with all 3 I purchased.
Trying out the anteras next time I am home. Hopefully the Ito shows up by then.....

So when you ship 2 TD Fuegos in the same box they morph into this little green reel. Some rash but not bad at all. No gashes or nicks. 51e baby!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170801/e8588836648b4f52e8a5e14368bea5a1.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170801/c82c05d43e66e04397fd117e400b5247.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170801/f9a907d2b3168d3ead5463d8206e5a7a.jpg)

Oh man! Welcome to the Curado club baby! Thats got to be the "woops"iest reel Shimano ever made. I would give all my reels before i gave up my CU50E. And i have the parts inventory to prove it, plus frame and side plates on the way. Lol

OK, not hating here, a legitimate question.
What made those little 50E reels so damned special? I hear they're like finding hens teeth to get one.

Quote from: cojab on July 31, 2017, 10:15:22 PMThe size and power of the reels. They were just the perfect reel in my eyes, and apparently everyone else's too. I don't think there has been a more popular Shimano out there. They tried to bring it back with the 70, but you can see most people are selling them off not long after owning them. The 50E platform had to be most solid built, ergonomic friendly reel out there. And the fact that you can't find them, and if you do you are gonna pay a pretty penny for them.

The seller was kinda taken back that I would rather have the Curado over 2 Fuegos. Hell so was I lol. But yes they are damn hard to find and I'm happy to be a owner of one.

Damn things never come up for sale so i had to. He also has an older Dobyns Extreme 743 that i am trying to justify.

His obsession with the 50e is like mine with the Core 100 series. Shimano just did something right with those reels.
If memory serves me correct, the Curado 50e was the first in the E series 50's.
The 50e was so popular that they made the Chronarch 50e identical except for the color. I don't know if a company has had so many spin offs as Shimano has with the E series 50's.

That is correct, the CU50E was first. Then JDM Shimano brought the 09Aldebaran MG. Off that, USDM brought the Core50MG7. Then, when Shimano tried to pull a sly one with the Chronarch (painted Curado E series), they brought the 50 with it.

The whole Curado to Chronarch paint job pissed a lot of people off. Then to have Shimano say it was more than just a paint job made it worse.

I forgot to post this gem. Traded in my E6X 843 MBR and got a 2016 GLX 843 MBR. I can't say enough about how well this rod is built. About as close to a custom as you can get. Balance is amazing and the sensitivity is very close to my 7'3" PB rods. Dragging a 10" worm over timber felt great.
Rod loads so perfectly. 3/8 oz total weight is this rods honey spot! I've got my Exsence DC on it for now. Still not sure what reel is going on it yet.

I have an 842 MBR GLX, and I have to agree with you- that rod is seriously something special. So lightweight and well-balanced, hooksets are fast, accurate and easy and the sensitivity is terrific.

I have an 842 MBR GLX, and I have to agree with you- that rod is seriously something special. So lightweight and well-balanced, hooksets are fast, accurate and easy and the sensitivity is terrific.
The 842 MBR is next on my list. I have the 852 JWR. Its great for deep water, but I'd love to have a slower tipped 2 power for weightless plastics.

Keep in mind, you are going to spend $$ for that reel to cast light stuff. It's a bitch to dial in. Frogs weren't a problem though, but you don't know how to frog fish.. and there lies the problem.... ~roflmao

Ha..ha.. nice try... but since you have handled so many reels in the last 4 years, I honestly think you have forgotten how this reel really handles... You would have had better results with your old super duty.

Bait monkey got me hard. This is all in the last 3 weeks:
Sold:
Core MG
Lot of squarebill crankbaits
Lot of soft plastics, one other lot still for sale.
Purchased:
Metanium MG7 with ZPI drag star and custom ccc, knobs and handle nut. Got it from Japan for $110
Ray's studio drag star for the SV105
Big TW order including some replacement squarebills, plastic worms, reel covers, etc.
7 speed gear upgrade kit for said Metanium and some Fuji hook keepers from TTT
Small lot of large topwater baits for a super steal on another forum
Planning on picking up a few more plastics soon, I'm in the process of getting rid of miscellaneous stuff I've accumulated and paring it down to what I know works for me and I like.

Luckily for me, my wife is well familiar with fishing stuff. She has gotten very accustomed to my reels being in the high end of things. She has even seen me with gear that I normally wouldnt fish with, i.e. Revo SX, and asked "what the hell did you buy that for?" Lol

No. I don't know the spool size, but overall size wise, it's the same as any Zillion. LMG says so but I swear my SV103 was thinner. Nothing to back that up though. It's much wider than a 70

Yeah - was reading about it and it looks like the same size as zillions.
Speaking of that, My only zillion is the Daiwa Zillion 100SHA that I got off the forum years ago for a "great price" Its paired up with Dobyns Champion 705 CB.
Its just Purrrrffffffeeeccct !
I just throw it and it would go 50/60 yards using 1/4 or 1/2 oz Lipless which I dont have have to use the thumb to stop from going "bonk" (backlash). I love it when I get some "eyes" ( :shocking:) on me at the pier (shore fishing). They would come up and ask me how the "heck" I do that ?
Of course, they are using some big/thick rods from walmart thinking that those bluegills will break their 30 lbs mono line.

I'm waiting on a handle and some new grease to try out. Everything is cleaned, spool bearings are flushed and drying and the pinion gear and driveshaft bearings are soaking in gear oil.
Drag star, CCC, line pipe, drag and handle all getting upgraded.
Another holy grail reel has been collected!

That is a nice toy but I'm more impress with the "Triple"monitor set up you got there :)
There are not many who do that ~c~
Unless its a MAC with dual monitor (windows or linux) platform.
If you want to use the mac monitor along with windows sharing the same mouse.

HAHAHAHA - Just had to have it since the Core that I got three weeks ago has one or two teeth stripped. it doesn't affect the performance. That one will become the "backup" gear set and will use the one that I will receive within few days.
This is the core I shall receive :)

iMac 21.5" on the left with a Asus 21.5" dual monitor for it. Right monitor is a 21.5" Acer. I plug my work Dell into for a 2nd spilt screen.

Nice going man! What was the reel?
BTW I bought the 7 speed gear upgrade from TTT for my Metanium MG. Installed it and fished it for the first time today. That made a BIG difference in smoothness. A really big difference. Guess having like metals touching in the gears helps. Super glad I did that, and if I wind up using this rod as I think I will for squarebills, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and topwater, it will be handier to have it a little sped up.

It's a huge upgrade for the platform. It bumps you from 26 IPT to 30 IPT.
It's a Chronarch 100 D7

Its crazy. Some people will pay a ridiculous amount of money for a Core, when the same reel can be had over seas. The only reason I even wanted the Core50 is because I like to have all the different models of the design I like. Makes me feel like I'm not fishing the same exact thing, even though I am. Same with my Zillions. It's weird, I know, I have learned to accept myself. Haha

You reel guys don't mess around... lol I do not remember the specifics as far as the bearings or the handle. Maybe LMG still remembers. All I know is that its an awesome reel, casts far as hell, and its strong as an ox. As you can see I'm not a reel aficionado like several of you guys, but if you want a guy who will put your pretty reels to work, I'm your guy. ;).... ~beer~

Oh sorry I forgot to say what I got lol.
Well I ordered a Shimano Stradic CI4+ . Had over 100 bucks worth of BPS gift cards from my bday. + a little more worth of rewards dollars. So I got the Stradic for 100
But it's on backorder so probably won't get till next month.

I got the 3500, it weighs the same as the 2500 and it holds a bit more line. Guessing the spool is different, but if it weighs the same it can't possibly be a bigger reel.
Looking forward to trying it out.

And I really like the way the are reasonably priced, compact in size, along with generally one of the lighter weight reels in their class. Lots too like for me.

You're right. He didn't buy from me.
But he was so impressed with the shimano and diawas that he's not even thinking about a lews.
Good thing you got a hosedragger on your deck, cause that was the burn of the week my brother

Quick thoughts on a couple I tried,
Aldebaran: extremely smooh retrieve. Nice size and palmability.
SV 103: Very smooth cast. That spool is as smooth as anything I can even imagine.
Escence DC: Holy chit......That is one bad mutha!

Lets see,
1st shot of Woodford at about 08:45, next shot of some unknown Scotch that was damned smooth at around 11:00, a couple of beers after that, then a couple more at the cafe, then a few more and a double of Makers Mark at the Tiki.........
Yep, I was hammered! lo lo

Quick story to tell you all to show that Lee Smith has his sense of humor going.
Caddy called him while we were sitting at the Tiki bar. It came up that we would have a beer for him. Lee says to have a drink of whiskey. Caddy says which should we have, Makers or Crown.
Lee replies George Dickle. Joe says they dont have Dickel, what should we do?
Lee says: Leave!
Cracked me up but hey, I was drunk by then.

What in the hell is going on here?
I'm gone for a couple of days and it appears Matt has not one, but two Lews.
The only normal thing I see going on is the FC is chitfaced lo
Nothing bought here yet LMG but I am going to start looking. Maybe I'l sell some Lews to finance something!
Joe, that pic is stored safe and sound. That might be purchased before any reels.

By the way, since this is Joe's thread, I should post up here a big thanks to him for his hospitality this last week. I was travellng through his area and asked if he wanted to fish for a day.
Joe dropped his plans and opened up his house, boat and booze cabinet to a stranger.
Thanks a bunch Joe and you know the same is open for you when you come out to the 303.
A little something will be in the mail soon amigo!

I'd considered picking up just a little small bottle, something like an airplane serving. Then figured that'd probably quickly turn into one a week... one a day... a couple fifths... back to a half gallon...
Nope. I've had maybe 5 beers in the past three years on a few special occasions and managed to avoid letting it become a habit partly because I hate the particular beers I drank.

Just ordered two sets from Japantackle.com for my Cores 50MG7 !
Shimano 7.7 Brenious Chronarch 50E fast gear kit (About time)
Finally I can discard the aluminum gear out and put in the brass ! Handles will have to wait until Santa Claus comes in town with some dough in December :)
Now everything is complete for the year 2017 ~c~

Well the bait monkey got ahold of me this week........
Lets just say it's not a Shimano and it damn sure isn't an ABU.
This one's gonna sting a little. I gotta say, that Gambler is a bad influence
So Rock, when you going to free the monkey and tell us all what he brought you?
The suspense is killing me. ;D

The monkey talked me into ordering the mystery tackle box through a promotion for $4.99 for the first month. I cancel anytime. It will be $14.99 a month from now on.

Took advantage of a TW sale on Big Ez and the extra 15% sale they had going on for Labor Day.
Normally I would pour my own Ricky Swimmers but why pass up such a good deal? Plus I can always melt these after they have been used and make some new ones. :-)
Think I got enough swimbaits for the FLBR Classic on Lake Kissimmee ??

The monkey got me good this weekend. Really good.
I bought some new baits. I bought some "fishing clothes" even though technically it is just clothes to me since I wear fishing shirts ALL the time now lol.
I also got a new toy for frog fishing. I am looking forward to this new toy!

Na UPS swings by my house fairly late. Every once and a while they surprise me and swing by early. But usually it's around 4:30-6:30

My stuff arrived and I must say that I think it's going to be awesome!!!!
I bought some new tackle. The snakes look cool, not sure if they are going to catch any fish but heck why not try? The 4" Twin Tail Menace Grubs have already proven to be fish catches, and so I got the 3" version of them to add to my tackle bag for when the fish are honed in on a smaller bait.
Got new gloves that fit perfectly on my large hands and feel comfortable.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170927/3cc77ae0258afdcc8103a618f9672cfb.jpg)
But the thing I was really waiting for was my NEW FROG ROD! That's right, I bought another frog rod as I search for the right rod to keep me frogging for a longer period of time without fatigue. Sure I liked the Tatula Frog Rod, its super light, very powerful and performs very well. But at 7'4" it not easy to cast when fishing out of the back of a boat, it is also not easy to walk or work a frog from back there, and it's not easy to do those things from land either.
For a bit I have been considering downsizing for these reasons. Then I watched Flukemasters video for a second time where he talks about the 13 Fishing Muse Black he helped design. His points all seemed valid, but they go against everything I have been told about frog rods. Regardless it sounded like a shorter rod would help in my situation. The more I thought about it the more it made sense. So I bought it. The rod is 6'5" and it feels great!
It is perfectly balanced with my Tatula CT, the shorter handle end of the rod seems comfortable and the rod is as light as the Tatula rod.
I suspect my cast distance will suffer some, but walking a frog should be easier, and the balance should help my carpel tunnel issues and back problems.
Wanted to try it out today after getting it but the weather is crap. So I'll have to wait till Friday or Saturday to put it to the test in my local pad field and hydrilla filled park lake.

Rick,
You bought good stuff. Congratulations on the new rod! I hope it works for you.
It might take you some time to get used to it, but you'll see that 6.6' rods are easier to swing around, and should help with your hand and back issues. Enjoy!

Monkey got me this week. I bought my first Shimano (Curado 200IHG) a couple months ago and I love it. Saw a 200G going for a good price on ebay and had to snag it. The wait begins.

With a bunch of big bills to pay here recently I have been staving off the monkey as best I can. Last purchase was a couple weeks ago, got two Jackall Gantarel swimbaits in shad color for $15 each. They are really, really nice looking baits and have fantastic action. I will definitely be getting a couple in gill pattern sometime when the money's not so tight.

That Scorpion is sweet!
cortman, I'm also a little on the broke side right now and I've had to threaten to shoot the monkey if he showed up here for a while.
But, I'm studying hard so that in the spring I know exactly what he should bring me!

Ok here is the other item the monkey got me on a while ago. It was just on backorder. I had several bps gift cards and decided why not get a high end spinning reel?
So this is reel pron for everyone except LMG lol!

Nice score LMG.
I have been seriously considering trying LH reels. I can't quite get over the idea that I use my non-dominant hand for all the important things in fishing, casting and working the bait, and relegate my dominant hand to, well, turning something.
Will probably start out with a Tatula SV, because I want to try one of them sometime.

Ya'll have been busy!! Only thing I picked up was that Steez...what a beaut. She's not much of a skipping reel. But, maybe once I put the famed purple spool it will be a new animal.
The bait and reel monkey has been visiting you all while his cousin, the computer monkey has been visiting me. He brought me a Dell 7810 with 2 xeon processors for a total of 44 cores and 88 virtual cores, with 192 GB of RAM, one 480 GB SSD and one 1 TB SSD for storage and then a 38" Ultra HD widescreen monitor.
Done buying stuff for a little while.... ~roflmao. The boat monkey may visit me next in 6 months or so.....

I couldnt pass up a chance to look around the local tackle shop today I was working down the road from it. I picked up all the hooks for $2.48 a pack they were 50% off. I don't really care for the EWG style but some baits they do work OK and for a quality hook I couldn't pass them up. The WP I had been wanting to get for awhile I have a Loon 130 and really wanted the Powder but they were out back then so now I got the Powder 110 that should work great. And no it was not 50% off. lo

I finally gave in to the monkey. Had a little extra cash to get myself a birthday present so I immediately gave it to the Tackle Trap. :) Will be posting pics when it arrives.

Box from the Tackle Trap showed up today! It contained this:
(https://i.imgur.com/4mbxWuO.jpg)
Tatula SV in 7.3. Going to be using it for topwater and probably some spinnerbaits/chatterbaits.
A significant aspect of this reel is that it's my first LH baitcaster. The fact that I do all the delicate work of giving a bait action and playing a fish and landing it with my non dominant hand, while my trusty right hand keeps itself busy turning a crank, has always bugged me, so I figured I'd try lefties.
I put it on a rod and cranked it a bit, and I will say, wow what a weird feeling lol. Time will tell. If I don't like it I'm sure I can sell for good money.
But to make sure the LH experiment got a good chance, these were also in the box:
(https://i.imgur.com/0sEJYgf.jpg)
Three of those small bearings are for a buddy, and three are for the knobs and levelwind on this reel. Also included are ZPI SiC spool bearings. Hoping to make this thing a monster! :)

Been looking for a round reel for big cats and maybe musky. I got a Shimano Cardiff 400a for around $60 new. I hope it's halfway decent.

I went back onto Cabelas site last night. Wife said that I was allotted $250 to spend for my birthday since she didn't know what to get me. So, then having such a good sale, I decided to grab a few more things. Was gonna wait till Guntersville, but the price is hard to pass on. I'll get the new model when Christmas comes around. For now, I'll grab these and see which ratio works best for me.

I think that BB2 Wide I got coming should make a decent swimbait reel. That is my intent for it. Going to try throwing the 6" and 7" swimbaits a little.

I only bought these because he said he liked them so much.

I remember when LMG said Shimano or it was trash. Now he sports Daiwa and Shimano.. and if I recall bow has bought quite a few Lews reels lol
Also is that the wide super duty?
I like my SV103 and it looks nice on my LSCR. But honestly I prefer to toss the $140 (I paif half that) Lews TPs. All my rods have them so when I go to the Daiwa I forget lol. I also don't care for the high speed ratio for what I mainly use it for. I forget to slow down lol ugh
I might sell it and grab another Lews. Or put it on a different rod.

I find it interesting that you are not a big fan of the SV103's? What dont you like about it besides the speed?
I was a big lews guy at one time and I thought the opposite. As soon as I had the sv103 in my hand it was over for the lews. I had a bunch of TP's that I was trying to unload a while ago but I ended up donating them.

The settings for the braking is hard to adjust. Literally hard to change the dial. It backlashs more cause I'm used to the Lews as all the other rods have the same reels on them, so I grab that one and pow, nest lol. It does flick under docks and cover nicley.
It is also noticeably heavier. The LSCR does a fantastic job, but I can tell the Daiwa is a chunk in my hand compared to the Lews. I had to swap the Daiwa due to bad braid during the classic. Put a Lews on the LSCR and it was super sweet.
I also don't care if I toss the Lews on the ground while bank fishing and I worry about rashing up the SV lol ugh
I haven't decided yet though.

Tom, I think you can tell that some of us are surprised at your response about the Daiwa. It has been almost uniform that most find the reel much easier to use and back lash scenarios are almost non existent. It is an ounce or two heaver but the price is fairly comparable to the Lews. Are we talking the same reels?
We were discussing the TWSV103 Tatula series. selling for about $130.00

He is talking about the higher end SV103, not the Tatula.
It's a heftier reel than the Tatula, I think on the old Zillion frame that LMG likes.
I think this is why he is having more difficulty with it. I think he would be much happier with a Tatula SV. It sounds the SV103 he has is a little harder to get dialed in than our Tat SV.

He likes the smaller profile of the Lews reels, which I can see as a good argument. I dont know if he has held the LFS series yet, but they are more like a Shimano 50E size.

It is a smooth nice reel. It fishes fine. Cast just fine. Palms fine as well. The dial literally is hard to click and one click does a lot which is nice.. but I never move it much as it adjust so heavy.
I am definitely used to dual braking and the Lews are more comfortable.
Plus if I toss a Lews on the bank or bed of the truck I don't worry about it as much lol. This thing is too pretty to beat up.
Kinda like owning a nice boat you are scared to bump a dock. Got an old tin boat and you'll drive it through the dock lol

Monkey got me the other day.
Decided to try a Jackall frog cause the shape and color looked cool. Basically marketing got me lol.
Of course I've been waiting for my teckle sprinker Frog for months. Finally got it.
The arashi crank was on sale and I though the self tuning thing might be cool.
The fishhead spin should be useful when wanting to throw a smaller profile than a spinnerbait.
Of course was running low on tungsten and these were on sale so why not?

Damn Cabelas! I should have ordered 200 packs of the Rage Tail Magnum Bugs they were only $1.88. The reel was what I plan to try to use for me a dedicated swimbait setup. Not the huge ones but the 7" or so baits. I have one more reel coming, Lew's BB1, from Bud ;) and that completes every baitcaster rod I own.

Nice bunch of goodies rickdelprado. Currious about that Jackall frog too. What color is the bottom?
That teckle sprinker Frog would be great here. White so far has been killer. My homemade one catches fish like mad. Just haven't caught the monsters with it yet.

i started this monstrosity of a thread lo lo
they were not on sale, those swimjigs are awesome, dont really get hung up in boat docks which is the primary cover in my lake. Not all true total tungsten, either. They are a tungsten resin, which is probably how they were able to get the shape of the head. Therefore not as durable as real tungsten but they are still pretty tough.
I got them at TW and they were about 6 bucks each.

no worries. I didnt think 6 was that bad for them. They are really sensitive and like i said they really glide over, under and through boat lifts and docks. Knock on wood, I have not hung one up yet. For reference I have used one for approximately 8 total hours of fishing over the course of a couple days.
one of our sponsors, I think its monster has good deals on tungsten usually. Like a couple dollars for a small pack of 1/8 oz and smaller weights. trash bomb ones are about 2 - 3 bucks apiece which is a dang good deal for a big ounce + size.

Got em from TW. Caddy is right though, they weren't on sale. They were just cheaper than the other brands.
I get my tungstens from Tungstenalley usually, but since I was making a purchase from TW I decided just to get the Lunker City ones.

where did you get the spike-it?
Its called Spike-It Fix-A-Lure. Ive only used it once on a Live Target Gizzard Shad Swimbait. It worked great on it. But thought I needed something for the Convict baits I got. I only had heard of Mend-It but they didnt have that brand.

Not with the ZRs. It will not mess with the control factor, and thats one thing I really like about them. You would notice a bit of difference on "startup" abilities of spool. I dont think you will really see a difference in distance though.

So not really much of a benefit except for lighter lures. With a faster "startup" I suspect lighter lures would travel with more ease.

If she catches one tiny bluegill before I get a fish, she acts like a wide receiver in the end zone, catches another, the taunting really starts. Hooking up with a bass always shuts her up.

Gotta love it when the santa mailman delivers the new package of goods! I got something new to try out- soft rubber rat'l trap type of lures with glo sticks...

And just to stay out of trouble with the non-sponsor brand police, I have obscured all references to brand names and websites...
And here is a strictly Florida thang... something else just arrived and all new- now I get to take a pair of boobs fishing with me, and no it is not a couple of my buddies or a stripper or two or three... there is a new bait hitting the market with an interesting back story that is either funny or can make ya angry depending on how it is taken... but yeah, here it is... the all new Florida bass boobs! But will it catch bass as much as it might some fishermen???
And yes, this perky pair of boobs is real even if silicone! ~shade
These are actually hitting the market here in Florida. Will they take off or will they sag??? Pun intended.

These will be sold as a single pair or a bag of boobs!

And just for the record... I just got my hands on these and have not tried them out so I can not say yay or nay on them. Just showing what just arrived. These are about to hit Lake Toho very soon...
So Lip what would you do with these if you got your hands on some??? Play with them or fish with them??? :-*
And did I mention the company putting these out is 100% all women behind this product??? Not men. Apparently this is for men sort of like what Hugh Hefner did but without the magazine...

I imagine it will cleave thru the water. Will it only catch males? Looks like it will make the bass more perky. Does it guarantee big bags? Or is it like putting ^-^ on a boar? Please keep us abreast on how they perform.
(Oh, I'm gonna milk this for all its worth!)

Does this titillate the bass? Not sure how that guarantees big bags? Does this lure need to be worked like pop, wait, pop-pop, wait and pop again! or a different cadence like "bounce off the bottom" with a good strong lift, and let it down again to the bottom before repeating the process. ~roflmao

Lip, I really have to question the creation of these new boob lures. I mean, what sort of motivation is behind the creation of them? Clearly the women behind these lures want to make money selling them, but what sort of thought went into their creation?
Most lure companies make lures that in some way resemble various naturally occurring foods that fish are already feeding on. And lure companies go out of their way to tank test their lures to create life like movements, shapes, and other characteristics designed to entice a fish to eat it or attack it.
But I have to really wonder what sort of natural food for fish does this lure resemble or is it even created to resemble anything at all in the fish world?
It seems to me by making the lure shaped like a nude woman laying on her back with boobs is not really designed for the fish. It really appears to be a design to attract male fishermen.
So I really have to question the legitimacy of a product like this one. And I have to really question the motivations behind its creation. It clearly appears to me to be a product designed for men by women to extract money from the pockets of men. It is "woops"ism in lure form.
So for us men we can either laugh at it as some sort of a joke, or also be kind of peeved that someone is trying to manipulate us men for money with "woops"ism in the same way Hugh Hefner made his career and fortune.
It seems the people behind this lure design are trying to make fools of us men for profit. Imagine if the situation were the gender reverse? We would never hear the end of it! ~bb And we would never hear the end of the wiggle the worm jokes either!
(https://s26.postimg.org/4d1vlm3vt/IMG_20171109_140130.jpg)
And just out of curiosity... how would we go about rigging this lure? If weedless, then boobs up or boobs down? And where do we bury the hook barb? Should the hook slide down between the boobs? Yeah. I can see what sort of thought went into the creation of this new lure.
Wouldn't it be kind of funny if some national tournaments were won using this lure and some professional bass fisherman had to show on camera how to rig one of these and use it??? ~b~
With lures like this one, the joke is on us it seems if we buy into it. I don't plan on making these a regular purchase type of thing. I would use this for the joke it appears to be. It would be kind of funny to 1)have something other fishermen don't and then 2)whip up on them with it.

You are so right Lip. And I think that is precisely what the people behind this product are counting on. Making suckers out of us fishermen, but I honestly don't think a product like this one will go very far. I think if they truly want to be successful with their brand then they need to drop the "woops"ism and get in on the realistic life like product game plan.

I have to argue that most lure companies may follow a traditional method to their madness. However that is truly not the case of some very successful lures though history. Innovation be it "woops" driven or fish driven can a good thing. I am not saying this particular attempt will out fish a worm or not, but there are many many lures id be willing to say lack the look of a typical fish meal.
I often laugh watching YouTube videos when the tuber insinuates a particular lure is imitating _____ . Seriously has anyone stood back and really looked at a jig with no trailer. It looks absolutely like what sitting there? Now as fishermen we can dream of it as what ever but to the rest of the world that has never known what one was remove the hook and id bet money they couldn't guess what the hell it is. OK want to argue that one try this look up Yoshihiko Ando Lures, Jackall Pompadour, or the Mepps Black Fury. If not for the hooks someone that was not a angler wouldn't know what a ton of this stuff was. The list goes on and on.
All that said In the configuration it is in I wouldn't try it. Although I bet you money I can catch fish with it. Make that bad girl white and buoyant (put air in the breasts maybe have a air valve? ) where I can float it through the lilly pad fields and I can make a case its a top water catcher. Finish her feet and Ill make her swim face down and I guarantee Ill catch fish with her. Heck finished like that I might buy one just to say I did and to post a pic with my fish.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the monkey has been caged and it's not happy. But it will only be released for a few reasons and promptly put back in the cage.
(https://thewondrous.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/funny-photos-of-monkeys.jpg)
Reason 1: A specific rod that shall not be named at this time.
Reason 2: I run out of my favorite baits and color of said baits. A reorder will be an acceptable use of funds.
That is all. :shocking: :shocking: :shocking:

I got a few items lately. I was in my local tackle shop yesterday and they had about 50 Buckeye Mop Jigs in 3/8 and 1/2 oz in Black n Blue and Texas Craw colors 50% off. Id never used this brand but I have to say a nice wire tied heavy living rubber jig with what appears to be some nice rattles with a Mustad Flippin Hook for $2.40 each I had to grab a few in those colors. Picked up one of the Santone jigs as well just because it looked nice hanging there. ;D Had to grab a bag of Gene Larew Rattlin' Crawlers in Blue Fleck to try also. Picked up some more rattles for my other jigs.
Got the Storm Squarebill and 12 packs of the Paca toads off eBay dirt cheap. Ive never used the Paca toad its huge and looks like it is just a huge version of their craw. I think it will work great for my lake. They love white and topwater and these were much cheaper than $3.89 I think a pack for the Zoom or Stanley Ribbit brands.

Quote from: Lipripper on November 13, 2017, 03:14:12 PMYeah the jigs surprised me they are really nice. The lady that owns the place is always marking stuff down if it doesn't sell. She has some system where they use colored price tags and each year the color changes. If they have been on the shelf to long she cuts the price hard and will only special order if you want it after that. They sell a lot of Santone jigs around here its a Texas based company and they have nice jigs reasonably priced. I'm guessing that didn't help these sell as they were several bucks more each normally. The eBay Netbait toads I got 12 packs for $11 and change shipped to my door. So less than a buck a pack delivered is nice. And the discontinued squarebill I didn't have one that color and I got it for like $4 at my door.

Ok, just for you, Lip.
I know there are some pretty awesome rods that are on this forum, and I was seriously thinking about spending the whole 200 on that ALX I was looking at. I thought about it, and figured I can get a really nice rod with great reviews, and get some line and some frogs and other cool stuff. I know there are better ones, but this is a big deal for me, going over the 100 price point for a rod. So without further ado, may I present my new
7'1" M fast Omen Black 2...

Back from long hiatus on this forum.
Had to take a break and go back to my "Fall Hobby" - Archery/Bow Hunting. Nope I haven't gotten one yet :(. But I just had to check this thread out to see who got "hooked" by the Monkey bait :)

No one got the money bait lately?
Got some from Tacklewarehouse since my wife got me some gift cards for the holidays.
Powell Max 3D Spinning Rod 7'1" Light.
Powell Max 3D Mag Bass Casting Rod 7'3" Mag Hvy Frog
Several Trokar Hooks
Two casting rod sleeves
The main thing that I like is this:
Cal Coast Fishing Rod Mule (40 bucks)
I tried this the other day and it's a MUST for everyone to have. It will make your life easier to transport.
This is not me, I am not that SKINNY !

For a not real expensive rod that Powell 7'3" Mag Hvy Frog is a pretty good rod. I picked one up used and its stout. Doesn't have quite the tip for casting some really light small frogs but definitely a stick for the full size frogs or toads and pitching a 1/2oz or bigger jig if you like. Its actually pretty decent for pitchin jigs I was kind of surprised.

I have orders from Monster, Doc Irving, and Jann's on the way right now, plus I ordered a bunch of jig heads from a guy in Tennessee (cheaper for what I need than buying ANOTHER mold, sheesh!). And this week I'm gonna try to get my act together for the folks on the forum that donated to the Adopt A Family Raffle. Once I get all of their lure preferences then I'll make what will probably be a HUGE order. This Bait Monkey/Tackle Ape stuff is SERIOUS 'roun these parts.

I have a small amount of money available at the moment. Two things holding me back right now are
1) I don't know if I could talk the boss lady into agreeing, and
2) with the cancer diagnosis I don't know what treatment is going to be yet so if I end up in bed for a month or so I'm going to need to get a new laptop so I can stay connected with UB.
I started putting the money away for the purpose of a laptop if I need it, but I know Joe has one of the mis-labeled 736 CB Glass rods and that is calling my name. I'm sure he would make me a good deal that we could both live with but I may not end up being able to fish until June or July anyway so I can't see spending the $$ now for a rod I may not even get to use this year.
But I really want it. Damn monkey!!! :P

from my understanding there was a run of 735 labeled glass rods that were actually 736 glass rods. The ones labeled 736 were actually 735. Both are glass and both are awesome. They were available on the Dobyns refurbished store about a year ago I would say.
I am not selling mine, perfect length and power to pull big girls from under docks and boat lifts.
If you see one, pick one up.
But, I do have some that I want to sell all at one time and for a great price. the 784 ML is not made anymore and its a dang good jig rod. 734, no explanation necessary, 765 CB glass, great deep cranking stick, 733 savvy, good all around rods. The St. Croix are just because I think they dont feel right in my hand. I will make a bulk purchase deal :)

I'm guilty of to much buying and I didn't buy near what some of you spent. My little Keitech order came in and I was at the local tackle shop and the 50% off on the mop jigs is just too hard to pass up. Wire tied living rubber with 2 rattles and a decent size very sharp hook. $2.40 each I had to grab a hand full.

When you go to the Dobyns site click on the store at the top. There you will see mislabeled rods and refurbished rods. All are still under warranty.

Dang - am very pissed
that monkey just made a phone call to Dobyns and got the mislabeled champion xp 736cb glass without permission.
Ill forgive him when it arrives :)
Now, I gotta decide what reel ratio on it. I got 6.4.1 to 8.2.1. (Curado 70XG, Scorpion 70HG and the lovely Pro Qualifier (6.4.1) until I order a dedicated reel for this.

I really like that reel. The brake system is a great system. My only issue, is its got aluminum gears. Aint nothin I cant fix with a gear swap from a Super Duty though.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on January 31, 2018, 02:39:39 PMYeah it would be sweet if it came with brass but its plenty light so adding brass gears its still a light weight reel with some nice features and man for $119.00 it was a smoking deal.

It fixes the hook hanger issue since my one real complaint on the Dobyns rods is they have a closed hook hanger this fixes that issue. ;)

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on January 31, 2018, 04:19:39 PMlo Yeah they did a really good job on it. If you don't know its there you wont even know about it. Its hidden that well. However if you want it its easy to deploy and keeps the hooks off the rod and reel. Also all my plastics don't have to have the hooks pulled out to put them away. To me that is a great feature.

thanks. me too!! I am really liking those flap slaps for a main reason: old school Shad rap's are dynamite in cold pre-spawn water. The flap slap's suspend as well, so you can get the dual benefit of a jerkbait too.
the jerkbaits...probably didnt need them but the monkey whispered some sweet nothings in my ear...so what was I to do?? ~roflmao

Well I'm safe for a couple more weeks then. lo Most of my tax refund is going towards our back property tax and then on some new furniture that Diana wants to get I might be able to get a couple of hundred to spend on fishing stuff which I will more than likely save for a NAFC 10 year reunion up in La Cross Wisc at the end of Aug.
Maybe he will get lost before he gets to my house. ;D

My Doc Irv order came in today and they look great. My picture taking skills on the other hand... :(
These are Sapphire Blue and are much brighter than the picture indicates. I asked for a match to the Zoom Sapphire Blue and Doc did a excellent job. Thanks

And today my Dobyns 784C ML came in that I bought from caddyjoe77. It even came with complimentary BassPro rod sock and a red spinning rod Stick Jacket both on the rod. :) Thank you sir. The Stick Jacket rod sock worked perfectly on my Dobyns Fury FR 703C SF.
Here she is with a brand new Lew's Tournament Pro G Speed Spool 8.3:1 TPG1XH I showed a page back or so in this thread. Its spooled up with Suffix 832 in Camo so the fish wont see it and run off scared as a little baby. ::) I actually like the looks of the line but I don't think it is superior to Power Pro and it costs more. I just got this spool as a Christmas present.

And don't be getting any ideas about what I am catching them on that is a dummy bait I swear. ;)

The gold on the reel and even the carbon handle seem to blend in well also. I was really surprised with the looks of it. If the fishing part goes as good as it looks Ill be ripping 23" and 24" bass out every day. ~roflmao

One of these is on the way to me. Gonna see how it does for a punching reel. Stout drag and brass gears, along with a profile the size of a 50E Shimano makes it a nice option to try out. And, as if I need to say, I got a really good deal to give it a shot in the arsenal. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180205/501ae6bd9158000fb6930e19a622981d.jpg)

Got a mislabeled 735cb glass on the way. It will be my only crankbait rod, although it will probably throw more spinnerbaits and topwaters.
Never liked the feel of glass rods but Mike convinced me with his review of the 736.

You're gonna love that one. Spinnerbait is perfect on it to pitch. Perfect. Rod is accurate pitching around docks and boat lifts. I'm about to start using mine a ton in about a month.

Negative. Nothing to beef up. Drag is powerful enough, and really just gonna be locked down as its gonna be used for punching mats. No need for spool bearings, as Im not making casts with it. I have a carbon fiber handle from Lews that Im gonna put on it, but thats about it. Not even gonna open it up. I was using a $400 reel for this, then realized, I really dont need that kind of reel for what Im utilizing it for. So I sold it, and got this. (and another reel, but youre gonna have to wait and see when it gets here. I will say, its a very pretty, solid, and bullet proof reel.) ~shade

I thought it was always WISE to open and check the grease and lube done by the factory wasn't over done?
Or is that more important if the reel's goiing to be used more for casting distances.
But couldn't 'over lubing' cause challenges even if your only 'pitching'?

Quote from: Lipripper on February 11, 2018, 08:49:06 AMActually the rod its going on is a Lee Smith Custom Rods 734 Liberty he built me a while back. Its got spiral wrapped torzite guides on it. That thing, even though its rated a 4 power, is insanely strong. What i really like about it is the tip allows the fish to grab a hold of the bait, and its gives a little bend at the tip. Then, I set the hook and its all over. Lol. I really love that rod. Its not the lightest thing, but man it is really freaking strong!
LMG looks like a beast slayer now get it on a rod and go catch some beast. ~bb

OK I just wanted to try this Berkley Cherrywood HD Casting rod for nothing more than I was bored. I got the one piece Medium Heavy MODEL # CWD701MHC. It was free shipping for a $20 rod. Well I had to add a couple bags of the clearance Devil Spears to get it to the $25 free shipping. Anyway I got the rod yesterday and set a old BPS 7.0:1 reel on it. For a $20 rod I am pretty impressed with it just handling it here at the house. Other than Id prefer it to have a couple more guides of better quality its still appears to be a capable rod.

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

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!

Quote from: pjl63 on February 16, 2018, 08:14:46 AMI have bought a couple of the Rep Sample Savvy SSM735C (http://dobynsrods.com/store/#!/Rep-Sample-SSM735C/p/89906548/category=23844910) rods. I think they are the same? At first I thought they were a little to moderate feeling but actually don't see it that way now. They are very versatile rods for me. I pitch, frog, and jig fish with them constantly. Really really strong rods. I pulled 3 to 5+ lb bass out of the thickest of the big heavy lily pads all summer last year no problem.
I also went a bit Dobyns crazy over the holidays. Based on reputation alone, I ended up picking up some a refurbished Savvy 735 (paired with a Curado I) and a new old stock Savvy Micro 733 (paired with a Curado K). Still need to pick up a good crank rod, though. I'd be interested to know your thoughts once you get a chance to break that 705 in. Waffling between the Dobyns or the St. Croix Mojo Glass. Love my squarebills, but I'm more of a lipless crank guy.

Fed the monkey. Played with the Carbonlite combo, but decided against it. The whole thing just didnt feel right. Luckily I did put an ole Ugly Stick rod in the car before going just in case. Grabbed a St Croix Mojo Bass in a 7ft MH F. After the trade in, it came to $105 plus tax. I think that was a pretty good deal on a really nice redesigned rod.

In my mud colored water I stuff a Gene Larew 7mm glass rattle in them and they are deadly. The only issue is the glass rattles are a little fragile I've had bass crush them but it's worth it they are loud.

It's not ideal for the big topwaters I find the tip to be a little too slow.
I bought it though cause it's rated for the big lures.
It might actually be the right rod for the job, I don't know. I've yet to miss or lose a fish on it and I've caught a few good ones on the spook. But they've basically hooked themselves. Between the mono and the slow tip there's a lot of give. :-/

Hey matt how much does BPS give you per rod? I looked at the add and can't make heads or tails of what they mean.

Sorry for cutting in on the question to Matt but it depends on the value of the rod your buying as
I understand it.
Turn in a working rod or reel and if your new rod cost $30-49, you get $5.00 off. All the way up to the new rod being $500, you get $100 off.
The reel Im getting is $179. If I turn in an old reel, I get $30 off.

Oh I see, thanks for the answer. Thats what I was confused about. So it doesn't matter if the rod you turn in is a cheap rod or expensive rod, they are valued depending on what you get.
Cool. I've got a berkley lightning rod I don't use that I may take over there then.
Figured I'd get a bigger discount if I took 2 or 3 rods but thats not the case I guess.

Lately - I have no idea why. I am starting to get the itch for this Daiwa SV 103. I should have grabbed one of those.

The monkey got me today. Monster tackle has a 10% off and they finally got the spinnerbaits I like in the color I like in stock! Woohoo. Ordered 2 of them threadfin shad and 2 blue gill colored. Then I gave in and bought the 4 1/2 inch SWaver and the 6 inch SWaver! I'd been eyeing those things for a long time. The fact that I didn't want to pay 6.50 for shipping made me go and get the wavers that were on sale + the 10% off.

Went to BPS to check out their Classic sale. What a major disappointment. Not sure if they are all this crappy or just the one by me. For one, they had 3 trackers. I always like to go look at them and dream a little. All they had was the Crappie one, a 160 and a 170 (from 2015 brand new...WHAT?)
Anyways the thing wasn't even in good shape. The vinyl on a few of the lockers was all warped and looked bad.
So I went inside. I'm used to seeing a bunch of stuff with discounts. I walked the isles and found very few items with discounts.
I did get some tungstens on sale, yum dingers on sale (They had just 2 bags of 4" dingers...)so i got those and a 4 bags of the 5". Got some pliers, a mini fish grip from rapala that was on sale, and some owner wacky hooks I was running low on.
I did go check out the reels. Held a couple Lews, held a couple Shimanos. Really liked the Chronarch MGL size and weight. There is a high chance I may end up getting one at some point when I am ready to pair a reel to a custom rod. As much as I like the Tatula's, the Chronarch feels sooo much lighter.
Anyways that is a decision for another day. lol

Chronarch is lighter because its not a metal frame.

No, Hagane refers to being aluminum. Whether that means the frame, gears, etc. Again, Hagane is a fancy gimmicky name used by Shimano for aluminum.

Hagane... A design concept for a tougher more efficient fishing reel.
HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation of in-built toughness and durability, working alongside Shimano's precision engineering. (Shimano's words, not mine)
This is directly from Shimano itself.
http://www.shimanofish.com.au/articles/shimano-s-new-hagane-concept.html
They never mention 'what' the stuff is made of BUT at the same time don't refer to it as a 'material' AT ALL.
With the exception of the words, 'forged metal' used ONCE in the whole link.
Strictly MARKETING terminology.
Nothing more...nothing less.
It's just their 'concept' or company's 'Mission Statement'.
Not really addressing a material at all.......check the link out.

I bought a Favorite Fishing Balance ultralight combo on Black Friday and let me tell you that reel is garbage. So far the rod has been great but that reel had to go. Traded it in today towards the Nasci 1000.

I borrowed a righty reel and took it out 2 times to learn. Let's just say there is absolutely no way in hell I am going to learn to cast with my left.
Just not happening. I'm about as awkward casting lefty as a Panda going through life. You ever seen those clumsy things? ~sweat

I'm with you on that.
I had the opportunity to fish with some very nice reels last year. Unfortunately they were all righties. It just feels akward.
I couldnt even cast very well with them cause the handle was in the way!

Monkey just chomped into me big time.
DSG is having a clearance sale on some G. Loomis E6X rods. Got a MH/XF spinning rod for $100. Rated for 3/16-5/8, which is lower than my St. Croix Mojo Bass M/F rod. Figured it would be good for shaky heads and soft plastics.

Pitching is where it's "too much work" (too slow) to switch hands for me, I like to have control as my bait hits the water. But casting with my right, I can switch hands while it's still on the fly.

There's about a 99% chance my rod and reel is going in the lake if I try to cast leftie, I know from experience.

I got this reel (CI4) for chatterbait on the Dobyns 736CB Glass. But this one might just take the cake.

I put mine on that 6 mo plan but I think it slowed mine down. It still says processing. I never used that payment plan thing before. Thought I'd try it so I could use it maybe for a new fish finder.

Thats ok, if the Mojo is as stiff as the Avid X you'll be fine. Not sure if they are or not though.

St Croix rods to me always seem a little on the fast side. I haven't had a ton of them or even fished a lot but the ones I did seemed that way.
I was going to ask what rods you guys are going to use your Rockets on. I am thinking about a 745 something or another for pitching/punching.

If you don't mind, what kind of Prolite do you have ?
I have one that is sitting here that I am not sure what to do with it or value of it.

I've always wanted a heavy spinning rod but never found one I could see paying the price they wanted for it. I always wondered why they are kind of rare too. All the spinning rods have a wet noodle feel to them imho. One reason I cant and don't fish spinning gear I need something that doesn't fold up like a cheap suitcase when I get a fish on.

I'd have to go look but forget casting a 1/16oz weight and worm on it. You need at least 1/8.
My dobyns champion 704 is perfect. I can cast 1/16 oz all day on it with good distance.
I think a MF in the avid x would have been better. But we don't buy medium rods down here.

I may be wrong but I think it's a bit older than my latest 2 which are 10 bearing reels, really nice for light baits.

The Gambler sale got me good.
I really like their creature baits and they make in my opinion the best swimming swimbait out there. Other than the one I pour myself which pretty much is a close replica of the ez swimmer.
Hard to pass up a big bag of swimbaits at the price they were being sold at.
Though I think I would have been better off using the money I spent on the 6" stick baits on something else. Not many stick baits in each bag.
We will see how they perform.

So I'm going to blame this purchase on Lou and the bait monkey. They colluded and then this happened.

The Gambler sale got me good.
I really like their creature baits and they make in my opinion the best swimming swimbait out there. Other than the one I pour myself which pretty much is a close replica of the ez swimmer.
Hard to pass up a big bag of swimbaits at the price they were being sold at.
Though I think I would have been better off using the money I spent on the 6" stick baits on something else. Not many stick baits in each bag.
We will see how they perform.

Not all stick baits are created equal either. BPS makes in my opinion the best stick bait. The Sticko.
I recently tried the YUM brand and liked them, but the rate of fall is different. I've tried many brands. Never Gamblers though. So we will see.

Rick, I took your advice and went against my instincts and went with the shorter rod. I could have got a 6'8", but it just felt too weird; believe me, I mulled it over for days. I also have read MANY reviews that say the St. Croix H power is like a broomstick (specifically, the 7'4" HF, what Mojo Bass call it's Slop N Frog rod), and that a lot of folks use the MH for frogging. Apparently, it takes quite a bit of weight to load the heavy rod well enough for casting. Now I just need to drive down south and have Lou show me how to use it.
By the way....does anyone remember that group in the 80's, Aldo Nova? I think they had a song about a monkey on your back...help me out, LMG

Yeah I don't know about the mojo rods. My avid x MHF feels like a MHXF or. HXF. I'm actually going to try and sell it. I'll take a little hit on it but I just don't need anything that freaking stiff for spinning.
If the Mojo series is similar then the MHF will probably work just fine for frog.
Hope it works out for you. It's tough making rod purchases online. Not being able to see them and hold them.

Ebay is the last resouce that I would use due to fees. but There are some advanages on that. On the BBC Board, Shimano Core 50MG7 is averaging $225 to $245 TYD. On Ebay, The last one that I saw was sold for $266 plus 8 buck shipping. SO it's kinda of the same to me but fees.
I sold all of mine on the BBC Board. They all met my "asking price".

Even though I've used it a bunch when I first pick it up after using my longer rods I always feel that weird feeling like it's not the right height. Get over it quick when I land a bass on a frog though lol.

Steve I'd love to hear your thoughts on that trilene braid? I've used their regular braid and liked it. It was cheap at Walmart.

Well, it's not on the caliber of stuff you guys are posting in here but the monkey got me for just a little bit of $$. I purchased one of the Fatsack rulers to use in the iBass tourney. Cool thing is I ordered it about an hour and a half ago and got a text about a half hour ago that they already created the shipping label - on a Sunday!
Now the problem as you might expect is that it felt so good to buy that simple little item that the money is sitting on my shoulder whispering into my ear and putting all kinds of ideas into my head :surrender:

I have that exact same size Gantrell swimbait just in a different color. The only rod I own right now that I could throw it on is a saltwater spinning rod. I've been thinking about the Dobyns Fury 795 SB or 796 SB for it. What so you guys think?

I lost my 5 inch bluegill swimbait at Vista View (not on a tree, I was slow rolling it at the bottom and musta wedged itself in a rock) . Before I lost it though I hooked up with a big ol bass but the hook sucks on the weedless huddleston. I suspect thats why I lost the fish.
This Gantarel is for Vista View, and whatever other place I can chuck it.
Quote from: Smallie_Stalker on March 05, 2018, 06:30:28 PMI bought a Berkley Lightning Shock that goes from 3/4 to 3oz. Thats what I am using for my swimbaits.

My other ABU showed up today. Its actually not mine. :P A friend wanted one when I told him about the deal. he is a huge ABU fan so it was right up his ally.
I also got a couple spools of 50lb BPS Hyper Braid to try. It was BOGO free. Man this stuff looks extremely thin. I actually went back and looked at the box thinking it was labeled wrong. Actually I think it still is but its measuring very close to the .28mm that it says its suppose to be.

Well it visited me again. Ordered a Daiwa Fuego left handed in 8.1:1. They didnt have anything slower, but figured 70.00 was too good to pass up. I even was smart about it and didnt get it sent to the house, did in store pickup. But of course that will be the day that my wife wants to go with me.

He looked at me and grabbed something from his passenger seat. Turns out he was showing me some lures. I looked away and stepped on it. I think I lost him!

So yesterday I get an email that a packaged arrived from UPS!
the monkey had got me and I was excited to get home and see my lures and put them in the tackle bag for the weekend.
Well I get home and no box anywhere to be found. I looked and looked and looked. Nada.
So I call up UPS and they tell me they are going to contact my local ups location to get more info and get a hold of the driver to find out where the box was placed.
They didn't call back yesterday. Today I call again and they tell me they will call me Monday with more details.
So I go fishing. Get home today and there's a box in my mailbox that wasn't there before. Trust me I checked lol.
Get a look and it says TW! Sooo it seems UPS must have found the box that they say they had delivered yesterday and actually made the delivery.
The color of their trucks represents them well if you know what I mean...
Anyways on to my new toys!
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180318/b37a0eb2b36fe1b9cc66f2651ff259fd.jpg)
That's right I got me some popper frogs from live target. Wasn't gonna let Lou corner the south Florida market catching big bass on those.
Got me a new lure from lunkerhunt. It's a 3 inch dragonfly. The lure is bigger than I expected. But it's a topwater and made of a bouyant foam that's supposed to be durable. Can't mix it with other plastics like the zman baits.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180318/49c149acb83230dcafea30565c2558f4.jpg)
Got 2 swinging swim jigs.
A live target sunfish swimbait because I am impressed with the sardine version I have.
I also got a free topwater sunfish with the purchase of my 2 popper frogs.

Who said I was flipping this one? ~beer~
I got a few reels that Ive been eyeing to get, and looking to get them for $100-150 range. I completed that with the Gen4 SX, Super Duty Speed Speel, Revo Rocket, and now the Tournament Pro G. I even got the really good deal with the Fuego CT. Trying to get a few reels in my "budget challenge" arsenal. However, the Abu LV7, which is a JDM reel, I couldnt manage to get at a better price than I could from Japan Lure Shop, and dont really trust other ebay sellers with JDM purchases. That reel is just a hair over the $150 budget, but I figured the Fuego CT offset the difference. lo

Heres the thing with the LV7, its the JDM version of the ALX. What it has are better bearings, brass gears instead of aluminum (and a 7 ratio), and the braking system has more magnets, that are more varied in power. All this, with a lighter ported spool, will help to accel it in the light bait category.

Oh, and I forgot to add the SV105HS that I grabbed from TW when they had a killer sale on them. I think it was $149, but that was before I put the carbon fiber handle, ZR bearings, RCS cork knobs, PX R cast control cap and drag star, and levelwind bearing upgrade. lo So, maybe that doesnt count? ~roflmao

Um, thats a big negative. lo But, it will be a staple in my arsenal of fun. Nothing will "replace" my 50E Shimano reels. There is not a reel to this date that has the "it" factor that my 50s have, especially the way I have them set up. If you cant tell, I just have a reel obsession. :surrender:

You just fell into the trap. Now he's going to tell you how awesome the reel is, and you're going to get one. Then next week he will tell you about another reel and how awesome it is then you'll get that one too. Next thing you know you'll be making a list like LMG with 15 reels he wants to buy and the funny thing is you'll never use them.
Anyways you're done. :surrender:

When I finally catch a fish on it, if the drag performs as well as the K, it may move up to first. When I caught that 11 lber, my drag was loose from catching dinks that morning, and she ran. The drag peeled out line smoothly, and when I slammed down the star, it stopped that big girl in her tracks. I am a big fan of Shimano drag systems.

Doyo has a stronger drag system than Shimano, but its not as smooth. Locked down, you cant budge the Doyo.

The SV105HS, Gen4 SX, LV7, Revo Rocket, and Tournament Pro G are all Senshi spooled to get a somewhat similar comparison. Wow, now that I really look at the list, I went a little nuts.

LOL this is what I was saying when I said you needed an intervention! I wasn't kidding. You should get a few reel bags so that you can fill the other one soon.
You have a good assortment of reels though. Hopefully you can test them all and see which ones you like and want to keep.

I own a hundred pounds of plastic or more, with a Doc Irving order still in the mix. My gawd.
Oh yeah- I bought a DT-10 for $1.50 (don't own any of them, but I'll be sure and add it to my 1000+ plug collection).
And I bought five pair of "polarized" sunglasses for $4 a pop. I know they junk polarized, but you can't buy even $5 sunglasses any more.
Got bit by that Monkey, for sure.
They also had Zoom Lizards for .88 a pack, mostly in Candy, Carolina-Rig colors. I own bag after bag of Lizards, so I passed.

Dang fishing section at my walmart stinks. They never have any of those deals.
You went all out though. I've never bought 23 bags of any 1 bait at a time lol.
Most I buy is 3 or 4 bags of uvibes cause I go through those quick.

I've had some good days at my Walmart but seems they don't come around like they use to. Also the brands and baits they have started carrying aren't really to my liking that much. However they do have a full isle of "stuff" so I do have some choices if I go there.
I also never bought 20+ bags of anything. lo I do the same as BassHunter buying 3 or 4 bags of something I use often if a good deal.

<a href="https://imgur.com/5pnzTfT"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/5pnzTfT.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>
Four buck sunglasses, and JIMMY HOUSTON's too! They GOT to be good! Well, they're darn cheap "everyday" glasses, for sure. And there's the $1.50 DT-10.
The Berkleys were .75 for the Power Worms, and $1 for the Shakey Snakes... Never used them, but that's a pretty good price. And while takin' the pic just now I find that one of the packs of Power Worms is TEN-INCHERS. Must have been a mistake- all the Wal Marts around here carry the 7" version.
Okay. Doc Irv is pouring my next order right now. I need a little bit of fishin' line. Then come May I'll probably order some more of Doc's BIG worms. So, I'm pretty much done for the season. Yep.

Got me some nutech jig heads and 3" roboworms for those days where a smaller profile works best.
Cranks I decided to try a few that are 0-3 feet so the bomber in 2 different sizes stood out.
The Rápala DT Fat swims at about a foot and is a bigger profile
The Mann's 1 minus I got cause I've heard people rave about them. Also shallow runners
The snaps for quick swaps.
Quite a bit of stuff and I sure as heck didn't need it all but the monkey got me and I wanted to try different brands to see which I preferred.

Quote from: SFL BassHunter on April 03, 2018, 06:32:06 PMThe Mann's 1 minus I can say beyond a doubt are stellar baits for me. They are one of my first crankbaits and one of my first "go to" baits. My father in law was always amazed how I could take a day where we both were getting skunked and turn it into a several catch day chunking one in Baby Bass color. I don't have a ton of them but I have the usual dark, light, bright, and natural color selection of them. Awesome baits.

I haven't had a issue with the actual hook on the Baby but I didn't like that they would tangle more than I liked. So I swapped mine to a combination that helped a lot but I don't remember what combination I went with. I think a 6 and a 4 but don't recall the brand or style. :( Mine are probably needing changed just from age at this point. I havent used them in almost a year.

Yeah with mono I don't worry about bent hooks, more like do the fish stay hooked.
Depending on the trebles I will sometimes switch to the KVD Triplegrips. Yet to lose a fish on those things.
But I don't need to switch them if they work fine.
For example I refuse to use the hooks on a spook. I always swap those out after I bent the hooks on a 1lb fish (in their defense I was using braid on that one). I also lost several fish on them. Never again!

Quote from: SFL BassHunter on April 04, 2018, 12:13:32 PMI hear you Rick and I just bought some Nu Tech Crappie jigs for my upcoming Crappie trip at the end of this month so I can put them to the test by throwing them up in some Christmas Trees and Rip Rap to see if I can get them hung up. ~bb It's spots like that that we throw our regular 1/8 oz Crappie jigs close to but try to keep from getting right in them. Oh I also just bought another one of them Fatsack measuring rulers too. ;D

Got me some nutech jig heads and 3" roboworms for those days where a smaller profile works best.
Cranks I decided to try a few that are 0-3 feet so the bomber in 2 different sizes stood out.
The Rápala DT Fat swims at about a foot and is a bigger profile
The Mann's 1 minus I got cause I've heard people rave about them. Also shallow runners
The snaps for quick swaps.
Quite a bit of stuff and I sure as heck didn't need it all but the monkey got me and I wanted to try different brands to see which I preferred.

I got a chance to try out some of my new toys yesterday.
Caught 2 dinks on the nutech, one with a small swimbait on it and the other with a ribbontail worm.
The roboworm on the nutech drew no bites.Neither did a texas rigged senko, so I am thinking the fish wanted the bait on the bottom and with a tail.
I did catch a 3rd dink on a trig and uvibe.
I also threw the Minus 1 and really liked it. It swims true out the box. I did have the hooks intertwine once on me. So I could see myself changing the hooks to avoid this. I just want to make sure I don't change the action.
The minus 1 got the attention of a dink that came over and bumped it but never ate it. No hookup.
I tried the Bomber A (the small one) and I did not like it out the box. The crank did not run true. I tweeked it and got it running right, but unlike the minus 1 it didn't go through the vegetation quite as well. I found that strange since the bill is square and bigger than the minus 1. It grabbed more stuff.
The minus 1 cranked through the stuff and picked up very little of it. A quick jerk of the rod and the bait was cleaned off. Not so with the bomber.

Nice! That's a good assortment.
Down here in our limestone bottom lakes no jig is 100% safe from getting hung. It's just the nature of the beast. I did get hung with the nutech but was able to get it free. Of course these lakes are fished from the bank which always adds an extra layer of difficulty to the recovery of lures.
With that said, I do prefer the nutech shape and the dual weed guards. I think it gets over rock much easier (reducing the chance of getting hung) and got through milfoil and other clumps of vegetation really well.

Not saying it's impossible to hang but it might be better than you think. I do see it being easy to hang in rocks where it'll fall in between some but it still may be harder to hang.

Quote from: SteveTX on April 16, 2018, 11:12:03 PMThanks Steve but I just looked at Academy and they didn't have what I was looking for. We use them 1/8 oz for Crappie fishing but also catch Bass and Walleye and even a catfish on them from time to time. I guess I will have to bite the bullet and feed the BPS monkey if I want to get anymore of them.

RipStop.....good for your waters $10
a fast-ripping, flashing swimbait action. Hard-stopping, forward motion stops on a dime, with a subtle shimmy before coming to a rest, then ever so slightly lifts its head with a super slow-rise
X-Rap......XR08.....$8-$10 depending where purchased
It can be fished both in an aggressive "Slashbait®" technique or with a classic Rapala® wobble.
Or traditional jerkbait style.
3'-5' depth range
X-Rap Prop........$10-$12 depending on where purchased.
Top water 'Spy Bait' Style' bait....again good for your waters.
Shadow Rap.........$9 or more again depending where purchased.
2'-4' depth
Actually a favorite of mine due to ....... It kicks almost 180 degrees right then left, so it can be fished nearly in place with very little forward travel, keeping the flickering fade of the Shadow Rap® right in a fish's strike zone.
Just some ideas.
Yes I've fished all the above plus the Husky Jerk too.

They are baitcast rods. I have a 09Aldebaran with a honeycomb spool that has 8lb dia. line that I cast really small jerkbaits/topwater/etc with the 682. The 683 is gonna get the Conquest50 mounted on it, because, after all, the Conquest deserved a nicer rod than it had. lo I use that reel for small T rigged baits with a 1/8 or 1/16oz weight. That reel is also spooled with 8lb dia. line. And by the way, the 8lb dia. line is Seaguar Senshi 10lb test.

Just made my first Academy Sports purchase. I saw someone talking about their clearance section online so I cruised through there and quickly filled up a cart. Free shipping and 10% off so I spent under $20 for a bunch of stuff. I think I got 5 bags of soft plastics, a frog and another top water popper for $16 and some change. Mostly all of my fishing gear was hand me downs and old yard sale buys. So now after a couple months of more frequent bass fishing I have depleted nearly all of my usable baits. Luckily one of my life's passions is bargain hunting for tools and fishing gear haha.

I just stopped by Dick's because I needed weighted worm hooks. Eagle claw laser sharp 5 packs were on sale at $1.47 and on the clearance rack I found a 60 pack of laser sharp worm hooks in 4 different colors for $5 and some change. I'm true I have been gotten by the monkey but i badly need to replenish some stuff. Oh 60 split shots for 98 cents too.

I want to hear how you like the Plano Elite 3607 Spinnerbait Organizer after you have had it and used it a little while. I got 2 of those and the small crank bait one also. I really like the crankbait organizer its really sweet. You can see all the baits they arent beating the paint off each other either.

The post office says that it has been delivered on thursday and I am not seeing it. I have made a phone call the USPS to address this. I have also informed tackle trap about this.

Tomorrow I plan on fishing. For the first time in a couple weeks. I am going to be experimenting with some new items. I had mentioned the monkey got me, but never mentioned what it made me buy.
I wanted to go with a lighter frog reel than the Tatula CT I am currently using. Sure the CT isn't heavy and it palms well, but I want to maximize my stamina and the way to do that is to lighten the weight of my frog rig.
Got a hell of a good price on a Helios LP reel, and noticed they had a 7' Heavy Helios Rod as well to match.
The rod and reel together are about 10oz combined which is fantastic. The reel is 6.3 and the rod is between 3.6 and 4 oz. It is LIGHT.
A few weeks ago on Lou's boat in our frogging extravaganza early in the day I caught my 6'5" 13 fishing frog rod with the back seat, as I turned about a foot off the tip snapped off. I am going to be sending it in soon, but I needed another rod in the meantime and thought I would give the Helios a try. Once I get the replacement Muse the helios will probably turn into a backup frog rod/jig rod unless it absolutely impresses me.

I have a Okuma Komodo KDR-273V Its not a bad reel. Very compact like a Lew's pretty smooth also. I really like the way the side cover comes off with no release to have to be unscrewed, pulled, or pushed. I wish I had at least a 90mm or 95mm handle for it, and the brake was adjustable from the outside. I would probably use it more.

I had a Academy gift card I had got last Christmas. Decided to get it out of my wallet.
I really like the extremely heavy gauge hook and its wide bend. It does not bend out and it allows me to thread on some some large plastic trailers and still have plenty of hook exposed.

It was at the POST OFFICE the whole time. They said that they delivered it at the mail box. Nope, they did not and They LIED to me on the phone that they left it.
"Strong words" (bad words included) were given at the supervisor as I chewed his butt off for 25 mins about customer service. As I was part of the college football coach staff for 12 years does have it's perks . We like to rip them up :)

What? the spool of line? Hopefully a really long time. In fact, and xtra really long time as I ordered another one yesterday too. lo Its not like it will go bad sitting in the drawer. I use it mostly for my UL fishing stuff, and even at that the spools of the reels I use it for are very shallow, and dont hold more than 100yds at a time.

Yeah -
First thing when I got home, checked the mail box and put the tube inside.
It perfectly fits, matter of fact, it could handle another one inside. Go Figure :-\
Anyway, Just spooled it up and ready to launch it to outer space.

I just got a 3000 yard spool of the 20lb on recommendations from here. I used it extensively last week and have to admit, it's good stuff. Reasonable too when you buy it in bulk. I think the 3000 yard spool was $35.00.

Wish I would have had it a few days ago when I ordered a Champion 734C...would have bought the Champion XP series instead of the older Champion Series. Oh well.
My main lineup seems to be moving in the Champion direction lol.

I have seen some of their reels in top 10 list. Are they pretty good? Do you recommend them LMG?

Hell I will even have Hillary Clinton winning hands down on every national poll. ::)
Polls, rankings, top 10s etc. are nothing short of advertising. The few cases its not its just a opinion.
KastKing has done a massive media blitz taking a brand that not one person knew about and made it a commonly discussed reel. All those guys that were touting Shimano Daiwa etc when they had to buy their own didn't just switch and claim KastKing was awesome and start waving them around as a better replacement for a higher quality reel for nothing.
:-* LMG is going to tell you to avoid them. lo
cbburke I did hear those are nice rod racks for the money. Congrats ~c~

Thanks for the info, I kind of figured for that price point they would be iffy. I like collecting hand tools and it blew my mind when I learned that a lot of different brands are made in the same factories, same materials and all, the only difference is the branding and price.

CPort is to blame for many things. I'll be receiving something today that's 99.9% CPort's fault. The other .1% is the Monkey's fault.

Loved it though. So this came across my attention. The price was really good, so I picked it up. Project for later on. I am a bit busy right now with some reels that Im servicing. Just finished up the 3 Gen1 Revo SX reels.

They do wrap them up good. Then you buy a LSCR and it takes industrial tools to get to the rod.
Rick,
You are going to enjoy that rod. But I would concentrate on bottom contact rods in the champion series.
Just my opinion.

I am considering getting one more for crank bait since I am currently using the Falcon (BMC-7M Cranker). There is nothing wrong with this rod but I am starting not to like the micro.
Any suggestion to feed to monkey bait :) but I would have to sell this first lol to fund the other one

Chris...GREAT BUY!!!!
Just an idea you may want to try.
On the RipStop....try using a 'Snap' like a dual lock or whatever your favorite is.
(https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/0cb9e8f1-4907-47dd-b441-719be1c08c08_1.83fa21ebc405254f9d81a0fcfc65ed44.jpeg?odnHeight=450&odnWidth=450&odnBg=FFFFFF)
I started using 'clips' on jerks last year.
Something about the 'slight slide' allowed when the fish hits PLUS increased action.
I used to use a 'loop knot'.
Snpap allows quicker lure change and better action...even compared to the 'loop'.
Those things stop on a dime and actually will turn when 'twitched hard/snapped' almost in place.
Same with the X-Rap.
They almost turn and look at the fish....triggering great bites.
I like them ALL but I think your going to really like the RipStop.......it really does have a unique 'action and the tail litterally stops it in it's tracks.......making the 'followers' pretty much RUN RIGHT INTO IT.....and they usually open thier mouths before hitting/running into it. ;D
Last thing you may want to try is instead of 'jerking' all the way back......swim them at a real slow constant retrieve.....snap, then stop....good 10 seconds or more, then repeat.
The clip allows for even a better wobble on a straight slow retrieve.
I use them as a traditional 'jerk/slash' bait but often do the above TOO!
Let us know what you think about the RipStop.....for that matter......the Shadow and the X too.
HAVE FUN!

The clip allows for even a better wobble on a straight slow retrieve.
I use them as a traditional 'jerk/slash' bait but often do the above TOO!
Let us know what you think about the RipStop.....for that matter......the Shadow and the X too.
HAVE FUN!

Chris...GREAT BUY!!!!
Just an idea you may want to try.
On the RipStop....try using a 'Snap' like a dual lock or whatever your favorite is.
(https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/0cb9e8f1-4907-47dd-b441-719be1c08c08_1.83fa21ebc405254f9d81a0fcfc65ed44.jpeg?odnHeight=450&odnWidth=450&odnBg=FFFFFF)
I started using 'clips' on jerks last year.
Something about the 'slight slide' allowed when the fish hits PLUS increased action.
I used to use a 'loop knot'.
Snpap allows quicker lure change and better action...even compared to the 'loop'.
Those things stop on a dime and actually will turn when 'twitched hard/snapped' almost in place.
Same with the X-Rap.
They almost turn and look at the fish....triggering great bites.

I got to tell ya, those exact style quick snaps are what I use. Man, they really make things easy, and they are quite strong too. I think mine are the BPS brand ones, and have yet to have any problems with them. They also help to keep the action quite interesting. Work very well on my spooks too.

Ok I get it. The champion 705cb is lighter than the fury also. Good choice.
Yeah and light is important for me. It can make the difference between my back hearting 4 hours into fishing, or 8 hours into fishing. I prefer it when I can last the 8 hours.

I started using the dual lock snaps too. I use them on my topwater, cranks and jerks. Makes for a quick switch of a lure, and doesn't seem to hinder the action.
I think the brand I got was P-Line and they are rated for 40lb and 50lb so they are stout enough to handle braid and hard topwater hits.

2018 21 PHX (21' 6")
Merc Verado 250 Pro
Galaxy mist, silver, maroon pin striping with dual color upgrade (interior is silver instead of the normal white gel)
2 bird Helix 12's
Ultrex 112 -- wow, this thing is crazy good
power pole 8 blades
ordered the dual console -- be here in 6 - 8 weeks
4 by 15 charger
bobs hydraulic plate
padded front deck (this is a real back saver)
ridiculous storage -- the center console LMG would fit in -- no joke
still breaking her in but I am out of the super restrictive break in. This thing SCOOTS. Fastest to 65 ive ever been in a boat -- going to have some prop roulette coming up I am sure. from 40 or so to 62 is nuts.
the ride is incredible too. cuts right through the waves -- even the long ones that come at an angle. Best riding boat i have ever been in---bar none
dealer was absolutely awesome to work with.

Amazon's pricing on fishing tackle and gear is unorthodox to say the least. I see reels on there for good prices (Daiwa Fuego CT for $75) and then I'll see another listing for the same reel and it's x5 more expensive. You might find a gem or two but you'll be weeding through dozens and dozens of wacko offerings. Not to mention their review systems is deeeeeeeeply flawed.

it's without a doubt my go-to - Kijiji is a pretty good too. I found a used TD Zillion 100ha for $125, debating on pulling the trigger on that instead of a Fuego or Tatula CT. I know you like the Type R, but the extra bearings, and racing red aren't enough for me to pony up an extra $60. I looked into the new Tatula 150 but what I gather, no MagForceZ, just MagForce, longer handle and more aesthetic upgrades. I think I'd rather find a deeply discounted HD 200 and spend the cash on baits.

Here's a nice rod at Cabela's that you can put that Fuego on, the St. Croix Premier Split-Grip, also $30 off. Great reviews. The 7' medium is only 4 oz. Paired with the Fuego, thats a total of 11.6 oz...fish all day.

I fish 99% braid and these cutters are awesome. Someone did say never ever cut anything but braid with them so that is all I ever use mine for and they still work like new today.

if i get her propped out right but that 20 footer of yours will eat my lunch im sure. Maybe if I had a 20 instead of a 21 I'd have a good chance.

Matt, do plan on what you're going to do before you buy a reel or buy the reel and and just have at it?

A little of both. Sometimes a good deal just falls into place, and I grab it. I got this reel BNIB for $125 a while back. Played with it a bit stock, but it wasnt good enough. Eventually landed a PE spool when Japan Tackle had them on sale. Upgraded the spool bearings, and levelwind. Added 6.8 gears out of a Megabass IP68, and a Zillion Type R handle off a Type R I bought for cheap to use for a parts reel. Some anodized parts from Hedgehog Studio, and this is the final result.

That reel looks amazing Matt! I hope one day I can get to that level of customization. What are the easier DIY upgrades that you would recommend to a novice?

Changing handles and spools are pretty tame and simple. Unles you are skilled at opening up a reel completely, I wouldnt attempt to go any further.

The spool swap is a key one for me, I want to purchase a few extra so I can have different line pre-spooled for different applications. I think it'll be cheaper than having multiple rigs.

Christmas in June! Delivery day from two of our sponsors, NuTech and X-Zone. Five pumpkin black fleck and one bumblebee Tru Center Sticks, one pumpkin red flake and one snow white Whiplash Shad from the X, and one of Bo's awesome spin jigs.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180619/fdf541004357ee179ffdcd221eb300eb.jpg)

I bought the same ones to replace all the bent/broken/rusty hooks off all my Rapala Shadow Rap shads. I really like them and dropped a DT10 Red Crawdad in my cart at Cabela's last week.
Picked up some new plastics last night for the long weekend last night:
Bass Assassin Boss Shiner 4.7" - Houdini (Swing Impact Fat replica but half the price)
Bass Assassin Lil Boss 3.5" - Green Pumpkin (same as above)
Bass Assassin Pure Craw - Watermelon Red Flake (10pk for like $3 :shocking:)
Yamamoto Flapping Hog 3.75" - Green Pumpkin Blk Flake
Most will be jig trailers except the Lil Boss which I bought some Eagle Claw 3/0 screw lock hooks. And I picked up some 14lb Trilene XL Smooth Casting to test out as leader material, I'm not really impressed with the 12lb Maxima Fluoro leader I originally got for my cranking rod. I've had way too many break offs below might line to line knot.

Not sure if you guys enjoy this sort of thing, but I've always been a big fan of Weird Al and enjoy rewriting lyrics to songs. Here is my ode to the monkey via Midland's song "Drinkin' Problem".

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7f6HiQ2LuU)
One more bait, one more rod
One more, one more bag
First one on, last one off
Giving this dock lots to lie about
They don't know what I think I know
People say I've got a fishin' problem
That ain't no reason to dock
People sayin' that my mind is rotten
Just 'cause I'm buyin' those baits
It's a bait monkey problem
So pull another bait off the wall
People say I got a fishin' problem
But I got no problem fishin' at all
I keep on buyin'
Withdrawing money
They call it a problem, I call it a bait monkey
I'm on Ultimate Bass later and later
I come on here so I don't have to buy more
Same old posters, same old topics
Same old, same old bass nonsense
The same old bass, just because
People say I've got a fishin' problem
That ain't no reason to dock

Just 'cause I'm buyin' those baits

So pull another bait off the wall
People say I got a fishin' problem
But I got no problem fishin' at all
I keep on buyin'
Withdrawing money
They call it a problem, I call it a bait monkey
Just idling around with all my Garmin electronics
They call it a problem, I call it a bait monkey
Just a bait monkey
It's a simple bait buyin' problem
So pull that bait off the wall
People say I got a fishin' problem
But I got no problems fishin' at all

Decided to get this for $14.99
My very first Megabass item.

Quote from: cbburke on July 08, 2018, 07:30:30 PMLooks like a nice one let us know how you like it.
Was at Conference with the wife at Hartford, CT. I had to pick up something for myself at East Hartford's Cabelas as I was "told to pick out one".
Decided to get this for $14.99
My very first Megabass item.

Realized Saturday that I was now short one of my braid reels due to Martin taking 2 reels from me. So, naturally, I had to order another reel. I did not go back to the Fuego CT this time, but rather something else. This something else is the more cost effective choice to a reel that I have played with many of times, but couldnt stand the looks and the point of what it was. lo A friend of fmine picked up one recently, so I said the hell with it, and got one.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on July 18, 2018, 08:07:02 AMThey lost me at $30k the bass boat industry have over tripped their stupidity. I get it they are nice but gezz how well off do they think the general population is. I would be willing to bet the average bass fishing guy doesn't make that kind of money to afford a $50k boat much less a $75k. I might could buy a 50ish range boat but at my age I just don't see me needing it.

About to pop on another Falcon Bucoo micro series rod. This one I found in a pawn shop is the 7' medium- one I have been wanting for awhile now. Price on it is $100. And the pawn shop owner said if I paid him in cash he would cut the price in half. So $50 out the door no tax.
A sweet all American made rod!
So now I have from this same series of excellent rods- BMC-610MH, BMC-7MH, and now a BMC-7M.
Dang, now I guess I had better sell some more rods... :'(

I do like Culprit worms. I like their plastic and was hoping these Incredi Frogs were going to be very similar. So far I like them. I had a massive blow up on one. I was sick for the next 2 hrs. I spent a 1/2hr trying followup and the next 1 1/2 hrs dreaming about that one I missed. :'( Oh well I know he is in there. :)
Im done buying so that monkey is gone from here. I swear I heard him say he was headed north. lo

Couple new reels. Got the conquest a couple weeks ago and loved it. Just got the BFS conquest in today. Put some 6lb mono on it and was throwing a little beetle spin around no problem. I was laughing catching tiny little bream on a bait caster. Kinda felt like a kid again. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/863ade78baca22ae940e4edd9547c18f.jpg)

It's got spaces for 3 more rods but I'm gonna make another set to mount on the wall. When needed anyways. Took like 30 minutes and about $15 worth of lumber.

Very nice.
I prefer the vertical style so they don't tend to let gravity work them over so much.
But that is very nice looking. ~c~

Thanks. It's easy. 1" x 3" wood. Holes are 1 1/2" diameter spaced 6 inches apart center hole to center hole. Clamp your boards together so when you cut a hole through one you do both at the same time. Then on one board cut some slots with a skill saw.

Tackle wharehouse has a special in that if you buy an stx Revo reel get a veritas rod for $15 So I had to do it. Don't know anything about that reel but I got spaces to fill in the rod rack. Got the 7'6" medium heavy rod. Hope the reel isn't garbage.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on August 23, 2018, 02:50:08 AMActually, the IPT is 4" more than the 9.0:1 version. 41" vs 37" (41", almost three and a half feet, two inches more than a meter. Holy Cow!). And it seems to be a little heavier than the previous version, 7.3 oz Vs. 6.5 oz. So if it is a smaller profile and spool, did they beef it up somewhere, like changing frame materials or something? If so, you are definitely right, that would be a perfect flipping/pitching reel, and I'm sure good for frogging.

Yeah, its a whole new animal, and built a bit more stout. The Gen4 Revos are something impressive. I personally like the ergonomics of the Gen4 over the Gen3. If you like the Gen3, I have a NIB one.

I have lost bass that are swimming to me, trying to catch up with them, mostly on slower gear ratio spinning rigs. I had one try that with my rocket the other day, no sir, and when I felt him within a second, he reversed course.

Grand total was well over $200 and included a hat!
Connie's awesome, but she's already gotten my birthday gifts so I doubt any of these will magically appear in the mail.
But, I still have the screenshot on my computer for future reference.

I'm'a Nutech fanatic! Although I don't catch near as many bass as everyone else, they're the only jigs worth buying in my opinion.
Proof enough just dropping them in my jig box. All other jigs fall onto their sides. Nutechs nearly ALWAYS land with the hook standing up.

The bait monkey got hold of me real bad this month and I am not sure me has let go yet!
So far this month, Shimano Curado 70, Shimano Essence spinning reel and just placed an order for a Shimano Metainium mgl. Plus 2 1000 yard spools of Seaguar Tatsu in 10 lb and 15 lb.
But I did get a free Megabass Vision 110 with my Essence order!

Sorting out my 'finesse' tactics for this season, before I order all my casting jigs etc. Here's what came in last night. Fury 703sf should arrive this evening ;D now if my Sedona doesn't balance it out the way I like, the Monkey told me to keep an eye on a Fuego LT. If my annual bonus is good, I might step up to the Tatula or Ballistic.

Thought I could sneak in a reel time but ice is still surrounded at the top. I think this is gotta be a great crankbait rod. I have never "owned" one before except that Falcon BMC-7 which contains macro guide. It's not for me and gotta put it on sale soon.
Got a good feeling that this will be a slayer.

Hopefully maybe get it mounted tomorrow. Here (http://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/index.php?topic=145801.0) is where I was discussing it if anyone has opinions or tips etc. ;)

Just picked up a oldie BPS 4.7.1 (IPT 19') ~c~
What's more - it comes with the BOX and paperwork !
Now, I need to test out a longer handle (Abu Garcia winch (gen2)). If I love the way it feels. I'm gotta ask the monkey bait group for suggestions to make it a "Little Baddie"

Couldn't decide which speed I wanted so...I bought 2 and now need rods to put them on. I'm sure the wife will be understanding!

Got my 703sf in the mail a couple of weeks ago, spooled up and ready to go. Picked up some tokyo rigs, hula sticks, menace grubs and custom leeches at the Spring Fishing show this past weekend. My brother in law had to 1up me on the finesse rod and bought a 7" Zodias and paired it with a Stradic ci4, man is that combo light and the design on the rod is beautiful/stealth. Bonus came in, I'm itching to get a 705CB and maybe upgrade my Sedona to a Ballistic or Tatula LT... not sure I can get both past my wife :surrender:

Stopped by Walmart on the way home from work to pick up a few things. No one told me they had the biggest clearance sale I ever saw in the fishing department. I got the scraps as the pegs that had yellow clearance tags were all but empty.
1/4 oz SK Bitsy Flip jigs $1 ea I got the last 3 all black n blue
1/2 oz SK Premier Pro-Model Jig $1.50 ea got the last 2 also in black n blue
3/8 oz SK Hack Attack Heavy Cover Swim Jig $2.50 ea got one of the last 2.
1/2 oz BooYah Boo Jig $1.50 ea got the last 2 one in black n blue one in green watermelon red
150 yds 40lb Sufix 832 in low vis green $7 ea (completely out of 50 and 65lb ~rant)
3/16 oz SK Red Eyed special $2.50 ea in white also the last one
10pk of Zoom salty super fluke in white ice $1.50 ea I dont use these much or I would have cleaned up they had a bunch
Lunkerhunt Lunker Frog in King Toad color $4.00 last one of these. These frogs are pretty good except the legs get pulled off and are not replaceable.
SK KVD "woops"y Frog in green pumpkin pearl belly $4.50 ea I got the last 2
Thank goodness I wasnt there when the Sufix first went on sale. ~sweat I would have cleaned the 65 and 50lb pegs out. :shocking:

The Monkey's been working overtime and persuaded me to stop into a local shop on my way into work. Left with 3 bags of Z-Man Trick Shots, they're a drop shot bait that I plan on using to drag on bottom and pitching into grass. They look amazing rigged on an Owner Ultrahead Bullet or Ball to keep it weedless. Oh an I picked up a couple of Rat-L-Traps because I've never fished a lipless.

I got bit by the Expride bug recently. Just going to buy one I said. Well, it wouldn't be bad to get a nice spinning setup too. Oh look they have have a sweet ML bait casting rod. Oh...that 8' would be a great pitching rod if I just cut a couple inches off the butt...and they all need Shimano 71s...and that Stradic is a must have as well...all the 71s need full ceramic bearings...

Damn frog monkey. A lil order for some frog gear. Going to make it a focus to get good at frogn. The slx feels great in hand and went with a beginners rod. But the match up pretty nice in the balance department.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190516/0a2570fd48177596b576d03084993495.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190516/02fe5335b1c003918fbf95cb3e31c85e.jpg)

I agree. Most of my setups are close to 7', 7', or 7'+. But they pair so nicely and disappear in hand. I'll be able work a lite bait with ease. And trust me, I'm all about workn, poppn, jerkn, and strokn my BAITS

Cant believe that no one got bit by the monkey for the last three months. It cant be :)
Wanted to get a low speed for chatterbait so I decided to get the OG Zillion 100pa included the 100mm handle into my arsenal of choice.

Oh I did. I just haven't posted in this thread.
In August alone I got a new Daiwa reel, 8 frogs, some new braid and 2 orders from Lockett Lures. And that doesn't include the Doc Irv and X Zone Lures I won recently in the contests here I got this month.

Broke a junk rod so I bought a not junk rod and figured might as well get a new not junk spinner. Dobyns colt 702SF with a daiwa legalis LT 2500.
Order that about 12 hours after picking up a shimano slx at dicks with some coupons I had about to expire. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190915/cd18fa592eafc4a47ad6d43fb9ba51c7.jpg)

I want to buy a heavy or medium heavy baitcaster and at that point I will probably pitch for a fury or Sierra. Just didn't have it in my budget at the moment for an unplanned purchase.

we just stopped admitting it. Too much reality!! lo
so, bought two glide bait rods -- a muse black and a megabass orochi xx leviathan, too many glidebaits to admit, along with jigs, chatterbaits, flukes. the plastics and such are because the others are buried in a box in the garage that i couldnt find lo
ive been good now, for about........um....a week i guess??

I got hit hard.
The Gander Outdoors by me was going out of business so I stopped by. I wish I did earlier. Picked up a Lews Mach II combo in 7'3" medium heavy for $100. I couldn't pass it up. Picked up some various plastics and a Guy Harvey hat too. I might go back for more tackle, everything 40% off.

I didn't post it in this thread but I also added a second Daiwa reel (A Tatula SV 103 8.1:1 Lefty), two more line purchases, some Tangle Free line conditioner and a special pair of lighted tweezers that are going to find a lot of uses.
I think that's been it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ::)

I snagged a 6:1 Tatula 100. On sale for $99 on eBay, and 10% eBay Bucks back. So basically $90 for a $160 reel.
That's 4 reels in the past month. Dammit, Monkey!!! ~xyz ~rant

Be careful with the Mach reels, the frames are graphite, and are not made to handle heavy use.

I saw those at that price. I just couldn't justify it right now. In fact I'm about spent out for the year I think. I've got a few packs of plastics I want to pick up from X Zone this weekend but other than that,barring a miracle, any spendable money that comes my way will be going for the UB Adopt a Family for the foreseeable future.

Quote from: LgMouthGambler on October 30, 2019, 03:57:58 PMYeah I know it's not the greatest but for the price I figured I'd give it a try. I wanted to try the rod a bit more than the reel anyway. I somehow didnt notice cast control knob so gotta send Lews an email about getting one.

Correct Rodney. I've beat him down with a stick multiple times. He goes to lips house, who threatens him with the dapper pimp mob suit then he goes to a new members place and continues to work for the bait companies.
One off these days that little money hungry bait walker is gonna get it!! Pow—right in the monkey hole 😂😂

So didnt you give up your CU50E to me like shortly after this post?
