Now that the spawn is in full swing I can post my pre spawn success. March brought me my 2nd DD of the season and my PB coming in at 14lbs 15oz x 27”. A true giant and my first teener.

I got an idea, put the phone down and get out on your waters. That is the best place to learn your water, fish habits, and your style of fishing swimbaits.

So I bought one of Kris Ellis’s molla gilla crawlers on his last drop and haven’t gotten to throw it much. Last night was in the high 50’s and I couldn’t seem to get bit so I tied the crawler on 5 minutes later a 5.3 IMG_2751.MOV

bunch of nice smallies the other day. Baits all ripped now so if anyone has an extra they’re willing to sell let me know. Thanks

Wisconsin pike on the Psycho Gill. Got her boat side and realized she choked it. Didn’t think I wasn’t gonna get it back. Happy to land it.

Not a jumbo... but finally got one made my day.

Finally, the tide seems to be turning my way - conditions were bright but windy - landed a few chunky bass from the bank in North Jersey.

The monkey is off my back. This is also my PB north of Florida.

IG page someone made dedicated to helping people who got screwed by victor. He was telling me that some people have filed liens

Took my lunch break and made a few casts at a small puddle close to where I grew up. Ended up connecting with this post spawn urban dinosaur. New PB - 25” L 17.5” G 8.0lbs

Ok so I have a review for these wraps. Might post it in the review section as well. Tested these out this spring and am very impressed! And normally I don’t like wraps. So I loaded it it up with 8 Large slammers. The pouches were plenty big enough and help them snug. Two in each pocket, of course. They fit well and did not stick out at all, so they’re deep pockets! You could easily use these for Mother’s and such. Side note: I love the design of the flap, how when you fold it down over the pockets, the sides of it are angled inward just a bit. It’s a cleaner look. Hope that makes sense. So I rolled them all up and tied it tight. I made sure the flap was on the outside. Super easy to carry and very convenient to tote around 8 big baits. The nicest part, like I thought, was that it was very cushioned and durable for your baits. I wouldn’t mind tossing it with the baits into the bushes or on the grass. Maybe not with 8 mothers in there, but 8 slammers? Sure! I even rolled it across my garage floor and they never made a sound. You could practically throw them onto the concrete and not have to worry about your baits. Especially if they’re tied tightly. I love the simplicity of them. Don’t have to worry about moisture or ripping on seems like cheap ones. It’s very quality made. Hope this helps people decide to purchase one of these! I don’t think anyone would be disappointed!

First one to bite the Ghost Mode G

My current line up. Stupid Heavy: 8'6" 3-10oz Moderate, Tranx 500pg X-Heavy: 8'0" 1-5oz Moderate, Tranx 500hg Heavy: 7'6" 1-3oz Mod/Fast, Tranx 300hg Still working on a MH, something around 7', 3/8-2oz with a Tranx 300a, undecided if it will be a fast action or moderate.

excited to see these findings formally published

I would like to announce that after decades and decades of rigorous, hazardous and dangerous scientific studies spanning across the galaxy, i have concluded that the shimano cardiff does in fact have internal brakes. I never thought it had brakes only a tension knob, watched a video on youtube after you guys said you had brakes turned on, took the side plate off and wouldnt you know all of my brakes were off.

Go around in the SUTV section of the forum. You can find a lot of users youtube channels in there. Personally I really like Brent Davis's channel. Dude sticks some absolutely massive northern strain bass.

Man i had a insane day on my tk they were loving the burn pause deadwalk had the short lip+v tail+ g guard. Biggest fish of the day came off the su collab ufo! Was a awesome day to say the least

Started 2021 off with a bang. This was my 2nd trip out of the year. She hit the deck at 11lbs 15oz x 26”. I shouldn’t have landed her. She put me in a tree about 12 feet down. I was just watching her struggle for like two minutes hopping she would get herself free from the branches. Right as I was about to swim down to get her she came free. She must not have known she was free from the tree because she came right to the net. So lucky.

He needs to refund people or get his ass whooped like back in the day. This is what happens when you can’t spank your kids anymore . I’m not condoning violence, just a good ole fashioned ass whoopin’.

Picture-heavy with a few catch highlights: So far I've caught two pb bass and one pb crappie all on my first prototype. Even the dinks choke this thing down which is great when the bite is slow. I haven't even poured another prototype yet because this one is working too well haha. Sometimes bite-size is the right-size

Thanks for the tips I think a glide is my ticket to getting them out of the cover. Due to the clarity of the water I hope they'll be drawn out so long as its down deep enough.

Finding a consistent bite to me is sometimes better than a big fish once in awhile! Nice fish man!!

Those aren't smallmouth - those are watermelons with fins! The girth on those fish is frightening! MendIt is your friend...

Ss on fb if your still looking

I just picked up one that's a little brighter. It's definitely coming soon sir

Great fish

Solid fish! Good to hear you got your bait back.

That's a big bang...Awesome fish!

Ditto

That’s a nice pike - I love when they hit a bait - so vicious.

this is my new favorite thing on the web

omg that's insane...this is public shaming. I had recently ordered from him and got my baits in a timely fashion and they fish amazing. Sucks to hear all the people that haven't received their items they paid for.

What a hog! Good job. Congrats!

New to using glides and swimbaits, started end of December last year. Finally got my first bites. Nothing over 3lb but it's something. Day 1, 1 on the dockrat 7" trout. Day 2, 1 on the yunique scout 6.5, 2 on the cali dream tk, 1 on the bullshooter 160f

Here's that same blank painted up in a "sexy shad" pattern. The silver base really makes it flash and come alive in the water. I'm hoping to place in the TU lure building contest with this because I'm almost out of these smaller screw eyes and need to buy more The silicone I used for my first mold was getting old which caused bubbles to become trapped on the parting surface. Had to buy more and I'm currently working on remolding the single piece master before I can make and mold the two piece glide master.

Mike is one of the class acts in the swimbait community. Honest and fair and always willing to share some great information!
