I couldn't help myself.

Got ahold of Some Slammers. The only other one I used was the Traveling Slammer.

316 gill crank in crappie.

This was previously a monster bass tik, sent it off to darkcloud customs and got a palomino(lightning) trout paint job.

I finally caught a fish on the meathead.It was about 2 pounds.And special thanks to @Bmurr7 for gifting me this bait!

Just picked them up from painter, 2 new baits to the arsenal.

Don’t y’all just love it when this happens....

Nc spotted bass are nuts. Definitely keeps u on ur toes as your searching for a giant. VID_20210115_175224944.mp4

Here are a few of the more well known places, plenty of people have ordered deps and reels from these places with good prices and surprisingly fast shipping. There are other less known places where you would need translate to figure out what the sites say because they are completely in Japanese. I’m assuming that any drt stuff would require a thorough search to find. Good luck https://www.ichibantackle.com https://www.tacklejapan.com/category/select/cid/46 https://www.digitaka.com http://jpangler.com

As a new member I tend to find myself wondering on prices of some of the baits I see in the market. I have had a few that I want to make an offer on but haven’t been able to find a good price to offer. I don’t want to come off a low baller trying to get gear for nothing, but I also don’t want to get taken to the cleaners due to my inexperience. Would you guys be willing to drop some bait price ranges for us new guys?

X2 for Mr. Zorba, not only are his baits some of the best looking out there, but he really went way above my expectations when i put in an order for a perch glide. Quiet a long time passed after i placed my order and honestly i had forgotten about it, so i sent him an email just wondering about the status. He replied quickly and was very apologetic saying that he had to move shops and had a lot of unexpected things happen during the process. He said my bait would ship that week and that he was going to double my order. Totally more then was necessary but it really showed that he was sorry for the delay and valued my business.

U can list some baits that you're interested in and we can tell u the price range u can generally expect to pay

If there are certain baits that you like, search for it in the black market and you will get a general idea of how much it would go for. You can also just ask the seller in terms of the price that they have in mind. It's usually on par with what it's worth.

You do not have to, they can be rigged with a beast hook weedless..or rigged as a line thru with a treble on the top or bottom. If you get the harness it is more suited for bottom dragging and crawling. @Fallof74 can put on a clinic with rigging and catching with these!

My first doomrider. They’re purdy up close.

damn, that's good

Real prey. Hiro. Kgb. honorable mentions (J-rat, nates) But my all time favorite lure is this bad boy so I can’t leave out evergreen.

Thanks man!!

Good fish to get the bait-skunk off that meathead!

Love my scorpion DC.... Looks like I gotta start saving!!! They should've kept it black, I hate the silver/chrome colors

Sly guy lures Hiroshima customs Stray Rats swimbaits

I like them all, even if they don't reply to me or talk long to get bait to me or etc. They all may have a hiccup once in a while. So I just fish what I have and catch every once and a while

what are the over sea sites? theres gotta be some cool baits on those

First time poster here, a little bit about myself first...I’ve been fishing my whole life but I’ve mostly just fished tournaments the past 10 years or so, I had a daughter born in April so I haven’t been fishing as much this year as usual but I had lots of time to spend on YouTube and the internet. Ended up buying a hudd 68 and an 8” model and finally decided to throw them the week before Christmas. On my first trip out (fishing a public lake with a big trout stocking program) I caught a 6-12 on the 8” and I was immediately hooked. I had one other solid bite that day and a few more bumps which I think were spotted bass. After that success I decided to go back a couple days later and took a buddy that has spent a little more time than me throwing big swimbaits, that morning he caught a 6-9. I stuck with the hudd all day and around 3 o’clock I had my only bite of the day but it ended up weighing 8-4. Needless to say I’m definitely hooked now, I’ve ordered a couple more big swimbaits for warmer weather too, got a trip to Florida planned for the end of February and I’ve got a 10” triple trout and a 9” MS slammer that I’m going to spend some time throwing down there. Very glad to find this site and look forward to learning more about this addicting hobby!

*$100 a pop Since you're so interested in my money I'm in real estate soundcloud rapping so I have some down time all the time in the world and a couple hundred dollars for maybe 30 minutes of work is solid my only source of income. How long does it take you to make that at the 9-5? your real job. Fixed that for you. (Make sure to check out his dope beats in the sound cloud link before he makes his insta private)
