Chaozu

Never made since that a right handed person would want to hold their rod in their left hand and have to set a hook and fight a fish with their odd hand. No right or wrong way but a lefty reel seems more efficient and less juggling in my opinion.

I was made an offer that I couldn’t refuse so I ended up getting this! I just wanted to look around but $300 out the door is a win for sure! Not gonna deck it out too crazy just maybe a small ice chest and a way to hold a few rods. I’m stoked!

I appreciate everyone’s feedback. The problem with the yak is storage and transporting it. The inflatable paddle board is doable for me. I have a pontoon kick boat but again it’s a pain to transport and set up and only used it a handful of times because of that reason. Watching the homeless fisherman smack all this fish from his paddle board really got me thinking it’s a good option for where I fish.

Lol…. I ain’t painting my fingernails I promise you that!

I’m a shore banger looking to be able to get to more water and have been very curious about fishing from a paddle board. I’ve seen a bunch of the homeless fisherman’s videos and that got me really pumped about exploring this option further. Problem is I know nothing about paddle boards and have only used them twice. I was wondering if any of you guys fish from a paddle board and if you had any suggestions on what to look for. Obviously stability is a top priority and also having tie downs for gear. I’m looking at inflatable boards and something not too ridiculously priced. Any suggestions or help is much appreciated!

I just got on Instagram so I can follow bait drops and there’s literally hundreds of people making swimbaits now! So many swimbait makers I’ve never even heard of, and they all look pretty similar! Everybody and there mom makes a glide bait now it’s crazy. Good luck!

That’s awesome man, Denise and Mickie run a good shop!

So cal dudes know about Coyote bait and tackle?

When you say up at Coyote I know exactly what you mean but I bet 95% of the people on this board have no idea what you’re talking about lol

Nice one!

Awesome fish and thank you for your service!

Little guy on the Illude!

Googan lol… I still have slammers from ‘03 I’m not new to this. I’ll just leave it alone and stop stirring the pot.

I’m not sure either, the bait maker was never named but I guess we can all assume… I did contact you guys but never received a reply. But since we have you on here, can you please explain and justify your prices? I’ve paid less for hand carved painted baits so why does an unpainted resin bait cost so much?

Hahahahaha…. Someone else feels the same way I do about these ridiculous prices we’re seeing now! That’s funny

Definitely call this prick out! With the prices these guys are charging this sort of thing shouldn’t happen. I get one or two may slip through the cracks and that’s fine. I was just shocked a bait of this price would fail like that so quick. If dude tries to charge me for a new lip I’m gonna lose my sh*t! I ended up finding a way to contact them but haven’t heard anything back yet… I’ll keep y’all posted.

I’m not spending another dime on this bait! $130 bait that only lasted 30 casts? I should get free lips for life at that price! Now they want me to spend more money and then have to repair the bait myself?! What a f@ckin joke!

I was gonna just throw the rat and the rat only, wasn’t expecting anything like this to happen. But you’re right I should’ve at least brought a back but I was just trying to stick to the one bait all night.

About 30 casts in the bill broke off a brand new two piece rat! $130 for a simple resin bait that isn’t even painted and the damn bill falls off?! If anyone has a way of contacting them other than Facebook please let me know. Drove an hour to the lake and had to stop fishing after 20 minutes, that’s some BS!
