THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE THREAD! I need some info. I have some baits that I plan on either selling or trading in the future, and am looking for a fair and resonable price. Flea Bay searches have come up empty. What's the going rate on a Slammer Snake? It's in pretty good shape. I've never thrown it, not sure about the previous owner. I'd like to get a fair price and not rip anyone off at the same time.

That's an OG perch. About 7" or so...

Any of you Massachusetts guys want to meet up sometime, I fish most nights.....

So I found out last night that there was a Facebook contest going for a No-Name rat bait. I immediately hopped in the boat in search of an entry fish. With clear skies and a nearly full moon, I was not feeling too confident. I'd seen a post on the Facebook a night earlier about cranking a Pats bait at night. The guy did real well, so I figured I'd have a go with mine. Never realized how well it would work. On my first 5 casts, I landed 4 fish! First cast, and the current first place (I think) in the contest. 5lbs, 9oz.... Second cast to the same area yielded a 4lb 9oz! Third cast was a small one and the fourth cast had no takers. Then, on the fifth cast to the same spot, a 4lb, 5oz..... I'll be throwing my Pats Perch at night more often!!

I prefer ice fishing. Swimbaiting keeps me busy till winter comes.

Awesome!

Excellent!

Up next on "As the swim bait turns".....

I'm not going to voice an opinion as I've seen neither up close. But I'll follow the story.

My mother has had it with Massachusetts and has decided to return to our home state of Texas. It looks like I'll be the one driving her down, and will have a few days before I have to fly back. So, who lives near Conroe, TX and would like to take this transplanted Texan fishing? I won't be able to bring a rod, but could bring a few baits. I would love an opportunity to fish with someone while I'm there. Looks like I'll be there from October 3-9.

No worries Dan! Like I said, I love the bait and have no interest in a refund. I appreciate the offer. I'm going to get it repainted and sealed. I was more concerned with the exposed wood taking on water. I feel this is quickly going to become one of my favorite baits Dan. Thanks!

Wanna get rid of it? I'll send you my address.

Hey SU. Picked up a wood Shellcracker this week, and on the maiden voyage, the paint crapped out. That leads to a couple of questions... Will the bait get ruined if I keep fishing it without repainting it first? How should I go about repainting it? Do I take the bait apart, sand the paint off, then go at it with a rattle can? In just under an hour Tuesday night, I landed three fish on it. I'm headed out again tonight and want to throw it, but only if I know it won't swell or damage the body being exposed. I know baits like Slammers get hook rash and exposed wood after extensive use. Is this the same?

Nicely done. I too am in MA and the slammer is one of my go to baits.

I just sent Owner an email asking about bulk orders. If that doesn't work, I have a buddy who owns a B&T shop and he may be able to get bulk orders.

If I can avoid surgery, yes! I'm the bread winner in the family so time off to recover isn't going to be good. I still try and do these exercises daily. I think it's the only way I've been able to avoid the surgery as long as I have.

Here you go Don. Hope it helps. I did these once or twice a day for a couple of weeks and it helped big time. I wound up not getting shots and didn't take any pain meds after the first coupe of days.

I'm dealing with it too. My pain is on the left side from just above my rear to just below my knee. I had a real issue with this a couple of years ago and wound up doing the PT route. There are stretches you can do which will help a lot. I'll see if I can find the specific ones and I'll post them here for you.

Shake -n- Bake. Couldn't wash it off for a pic??

That Zombie Slammer is bad A$$!!!
