  1. I guess I should have thought more about this subject than I did. The point I was trying to get at is the overall abundance of swimbaits on the market has affected the demand of some lures. More selection, less demand?

     

    supply is supply, and demand is demand. the price of a bait (on the black/grey market) is where supply intersects demand in a supply-demand model. the only way a supply increase creates a downward effect on demand is when it shoos away the flipper, but that effect is prob fairly marginal.

    however, when supply increases and demand stays the same, then price drops. it's one of the rules of marcoecon.

  2. Nice job at my favorite lake! I would be willing to bet that if you caught the 12 you'd be smiling...

     

    anyone who catches a 12 would be smiling. the trick is the catching part. =)

     

    nice fish, OP! that's a day i can only dream about.

  3. Pretty sure every town has a cinderblock building off the highway access road that sells soft versions of this bait in a variety of festive colors. Just stick an Owner Beast in it and get casting! ; 0 )

     

    haha, fo sho! "no really, it's for a friend!" gotta remember to rub some butt juice on it too...no, i mean the pro-cure kind!

  4. man, i've read about people burning baits to catch fish, but this is might be the first time i'm seeing it on video. that's pretty cool! i've been mixing up my retrieve, but haven't caught fish burning a swimbait like that. most of my catches tend to be of the cast, 1 to 2 cranks, and line gets heavy varietal. would love to find the right condition for burning a hudd or fs trout one day, and catch fish like the way you did on the video.

  5. i reel with my left, but cast the way a righty does. basically, i fish my baitcaster in the same orientation as a spinning rod. never understood the role reversal of hands b/w spinners and baitcasters. anyway, to your point, i have had no problems casting with a spiral left from a righthander's orientation. ben assured me of this when i ordered the rod and he was right.

  6. Nice work DanFather! I hear great things about the Salmon River. I may have to try that some day!

     

    man that looks freezing!! i was out yesterday in 46 degree weather and my hands were numb... cant imagine what that was like!!

     

    no kidding! if i were in those pics, the fish would be blurry from my hands shaking so much. altho, having lived on both coast, i gotta say 46° here feels a LOT colder than 46° in the northeast.

     

    46 degrees is 46 degrees. Cali just made you soft. 8-)

     

    is that why you were trying to huddle up against me in the car while waiting for the dvl gates to open and the sun to rise? that morning was prob ~50°...you just didn't know it! =)

  7. Hey guys, just a heads up. Unless its a sit malfunction, looks like a limited number of Wake Jrs and Babies are available right now. Suppose these were extras from the pre order....Getcha some

     

    not an error - mickey recently mentioned that you can order on the site. as for how many are available, not sure.

  9. Nice one dude! They swallow the hudds..

     

    makes me wonder - if that were a real trout, how long does it take for the bass to digest it? and how does it even get digested in the first place!

    either way, nice fish, OP!

  10. good guess lol but nah i was just outside swinging pole lightly just to see how it handled the big bait and the damn thing came off my line and went flying into the road... i just got it in the mail maybe 6 hours prior.. fml!

    well, look at the bright side. it could have come off your line at the lake. then you wouldn't even have a bent pin to work with!

  11. Good catch brian! I can see your knee through your jeans, how the hell are you not wearing long johns in that cold!?!?!

     

    I used to fish in this weather in a tee shirt. Wife made me go to the Dr's and I have high blood pressure, so ever since i have been on pills I dress warmer.... :twisted:

     

    trooper award here, for sure! i used to live in the northeast - boston, nyc, d.c. - but now i'm in socal. either i've just gotten soft, or 45° feels objectively colder than 45° back east. 16°? i wouldn't even want to step outside with a ski mask on!

  12. so much #fishbeef going on these days, goodness! i'm new to swimbait fishing and went with a setup that i thought retained the most value (in case i ever decide to get out and sell all my goods) - ldc prod xh and lexa 300. the xh has proven pretty versatile - i've been hawkin' 68s up to 250ss with it with no issues, but i can see why people might have a few different rods for different purposes.
