Bit dosent seem to drive the price, it is the hype and flippers

Quick 1 hour sesh yielded my first green back in a while, been fishing for salty bass more latelt

Build update: finally began the molding process after being out of town a bit. Had to rework the clay twice because the mold was too small at first. Also the scales and wood began to chip and flake the more I tried to clean up all the little detailing, so I didn't do too much polishing work after priming for fear that I would do more harm than help. Overall very pleased with how my crude lego mold is turning out. On to pouring silicone!

Different size lips and different thickness......tail is the size of TK, but seems like it is shorter, see the pic for gap......beautiful bait but it looks kind of rEtaRd from the front hahaha

capped off an incredible weekend with my buddies up north with this 7-10 just slow waking the Pizz Swimbaits wake carp in the original carp pattern. other two big fish for the weekend went 4-1 (beast wake 3 piece,southern spawn) and 5-9 (OD Rat 1 piece, black) also lost a fish that was close to 5 and got my first swimbait smallie (about a 2.5) and a handful of other fish throughout the weekend. Don't know if i will be able to top this one but ill be out there tryin! tight lines!

Took a trip to the in-laws in central Michigan and talked my uncle in-law into taking me out on his 14ft Jon. Got this one to follow the Mag in and hit it right at the boat after a couple figure eights. 21" and 3.2lbs, it has the head of a 5 but the body of a 2 ha.

Went to the jungle today and found this green gorilla that slurped the toxic volt through the pads. She clocked in at 6-1

Lip is cut and modified once it cures I’ll do a test swim and hopefully can stand up for more than a few minutes

it is man, truly a special little place to me.... i don't really keep anything a secret because there are no secrets, but this is the one and only place i don't tell people about... if my wife carries out my wishes, that waterfall is where she is to dump my ashes one of these days (hopefully later than sooner)!

This fish felt so good after so many dumped fish that day and past weekend. Had a 10lb head on her just wrong time of year. Im starting a little YouTube channel of quick CTC videos so go check it out!

Got a 5-0 on the citizen burning it through some pads and a 4-1 and 3-15 on the go2

Thanks appreciate the input

Nice!!!

Nice job man, been a min since I've had a good largie too.

Nothing wrong with crying in the boat. Just be sure to face away from anybody in the boat with you, especially if they have the ability to video the breakdown.

I pretty much switch every bait over now to the Mustad KVD triple grip elites. Sizes 1, 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0 and then swap the split ring to flat black roscos in sizes 4, 5.5 and 6. they might be shorter shank but have a wide profile and keep the fish pinned I dropped 3 solid fish a few weeks back on stock hooks on a new bait, came home, swapped em over to the mustads, next trip 9 fish on the bait and not one lost (fished the bait on the same set up so I know the hooks were an issue) these are the same hooks, Clayton at sly guy uses and mike at bullshad

Nope, performance for me. Power handle will help you regain some of the torque you lose with a higher gear ratio. It matters in saltwater with fish you actually have to turn, bass not so much. A paddle handle is just smoother to operate for me, powerhandle makes you feel like you’re winching.

Awesome!! looks like a great way to get em! Nice going!

Not a trophy but built some confidence in the slobstopper in the first hour of fishing it.

Fishing an old spot that I used to frog fish at, I throw wakes there in the spring when there are no pads and summer I skip big softies through the pads they crush it

Leave them. Think about how you’ll utilize that exceptionally loud wake. Maybe a rainy or windy day. Super muddy water, etc

Might have to look at lithium batteries or another option is a sealed battery like an optimal blue top that you can place sideways

Not a great picture, but managed to snag this hoss on the pb rat! Also first time competing so if it doesn’t count because there isn’t enough info it’s the way she goes!

Probably won't last for long but finally was able to boat a fish for the tourney. 4.69. Forgot to write state on the card, out of mass. Better part was it was on my chipmunk painted bbz 50!

Good to hear but I'd like to add my two cents and opinion on communication and deals here on the forum. I didn't build my reputation on this site by not providing excellent turn around time and good communication to those I trade with and sell to. I'm just as busy as anyone else most days but that doesn't excuse me from communicating with someone I've made an agreement with. I owe it to them to keep them informed about the status of the shipment. If I'm not going to be or might not be in touch for a day I set those expectations up front. That rarely happens if ever for me so purely hypothetical. I have had times when I can't ship the next day so I will let that person know up front if a delay will take place and when they can expect tracking. Its not that hard guys and it doesn't take much of your time. Will there be exceptions? Sure,but should be rare. Most everyone I've dealt with here has been great so I'm not pointing the finger at anyone. I'm just laying out what has been successful for me. It takes a little effort but very little. Take some pride in being excellent and step up your game guys. Keep in mind what its like to be on the other end waiting and ask yourself if that's a feeling you like. Take care of others and it will come back to you. *mic drop*

The smartest person on SU!!!
