Hello everyone, I decided to mold my original bluegill wake n crank swimbait. playing with some to be glides, wakes and the strawberry swirl pattern one to be a 3 piece. I posted everything at this stage to show some already with belly weights and some just minutes out of the mold. Pretty cool to see

I have. I just messaged him on instagram and asked if he could with pictures of the colours I wanted. He said yes, send them over. I did. He painted them. He sent pictures then an invoice, I paid and he sent them back. Took a little while but he had a lot going on and it was winter here so I had time to wait. Both these baits were blanks.

Saw her hanging deep close to a laydown. Got her to commit, dead walking the k9 past her

Got out Monday morning around 4:30AM, super foggy and pretty windy. Thought it was going to be an epic trip due to the amount of fish actively feeding and chasing trout. fish breaking all around, thru everything at em and not even a tap. moved around quite a bit, think its more frustrating when they're feeding and you can't catch em then when you cant see/hear em! around 6AM changed sides of the lake to another stretch that always produces. casted the zfg thundermouth crankdown out along the backside of this big rock and it got hammered immediately. fish didn't fight much until it got near the boat and then it tried to take off. quick net job and some pics. fish had a super fat belly and awesome build and great markings (these little white spots on the gill plates on both sides) tail is crazy wide (see pics) fish went 3lbs 10oz beating my old pb by 1oz, funny thing is every time I beat the old pb its always 1oz more and maybe even crazier is all of my pbs have come from this lake and this exact spot (like within 10ft of each other) hoping i can find the elusive 5lb smallie there one day, but ill take slowly upgrading the pb if that's what it takes.

Sick day with the THUT x DRT sake bomber TK. Biggest one was this 6-13.

I’ve had Lendl repaint a few things… if ya can’t reach him on Insta, he’ll answer emails as well. Super nice guy, just busy. It’s worth the wait, his paint looks amazing and is super durable. I know he’ll do some one off patterns too, I asked him to paint a wake walker blank for me with a pearl blood splatter color and he knocked it out of the park

This paint scheme is awesome.

Let this bad Boi sink out into the realm of the unknown the Gan craft just get smashed

Had a fun after work session today. Caught a few fish including these two and lost a good one but that's part of it

Got a part time position as a prep chef to help fund some big saltwater purchases coming up, man I hate clocking in so much. Clocking out ? That’s another story. Decided to take a couple cast in the pond next to my restaurant. Very stoked to have caught my first night bass after work. Trusty tk never fails. Go fishing after work even if you’re tired the adrenaline will rejuvenate you all my night shift homies. Thanks for reading guys

Mail will never be better than it was today…ever

I got my first ghost fish yesterday, and I also got a decent K9 fish. My buddy got his first glide bait fish too, on an arashi glide. He actually ended up with two fish on the glide before he lost it. It was a great day on the water celebrating my buddies birthday.

And the bait was wrapped in a diaper lol

Went to explore a new lake and stumbled upon a grown one! She ate the magdraft after coming through some weeds! Props to the wife for capturing the pictures cause I was too stoked to remember.

As a Millwright by trade, I have installed a numerous amounts of the machinery and conveyors that run in many post offices and package sorting facilities as well as other places. A lot of them machines run on automatic with scanners to sort through the packages. I recommended never sending anything in a padded envelope (or any envelope for that matter. Even padded ls with a diaper LOL). Some of them machines move fast and are brutal on packages If something does open, fall apart or otherwise, it could be sitting under a piece of machinery for years to come or someone else’s possession. I highly recommend sending items, where applicable in boxes and well taped. just my two cents.

There's an absolute influx of these coming in, don't pay any flipper prices the shop I work at has at least 300 coming

Got one finally in threadfin. Thanks for posting man. Missed the bait works drop yesterday. Almost paid a dude 80 for a rainbow trout one like two hours ago. Thank god he didn’t take it lol

Another trashy fish

First fish on the sake TK and first one on a Drt bait in general surprisingly caught at night time in glide mode. Nothin huge but I’m excited to start gettin ‘em on the klash line up.

Lol yea I got a TK but seeing all the pics on social media I’m having FOMO with the K9

I’m so glad I didn’t. His listing sold though so I feel bad for the guy that bought from him literally minutes ago instead of retail

I couldn’t agree more

Good fish right there. Not a bad way to finish out a day afterwork.

I found that when you give it hard reel bumps / rod twitches and let it pause for too long it will actually turn on itself and thats when the line will catch the font hook. If you give it slack this becomes more of an issue. It doesn't happen if you keep up the pace or you keep the line semi-tight on the pause.

Got a couple on the slammer tonight. A 5-13 and a 5-15. It’s been a great week.

Thanks @bassbass! @danthefisherman Thanks man!

Love getting some casts in after work too man, good stuff. Gives ya something to look forward to at work!

I’ve noticed that when I paused the bait trying to give the follower a chance to strike it most fish would nose up to the bait and J turn outta there after a good inspection. I combatted this by never stopping the walking acting all the way to the bank essentially. I’m not sure if it’s FOMO or the love of the pursuit but I’ve had so many great fish come right at my feet or a foot or two off the bank after following it in from so far. I also just recently started slathering some pro cure on my tk and it hasn’t deterred any bites that’s for sure.

LFOD Trout but perch pattern
