  1. Guys tossing spool teks account for a fair share of bull reds. If you're on a budget, storm wild eye shads can work. Also, they do fall for top waters, so punkers might be fun to try.
  2. I needed a laugh and this thread still brings it... I hope Mandingo keeps on tapping bass and choking deep throated stripers in perpetutity!
  3. *By relatively limited budget, I mean the rainshadow blank itself is inexpensive compared to others ...I know the choice of components , the labor involved if contracted out , etc can still make this a rather expensive project!
  4. f you want a 9ft 2 piece, there are the tackle industries muskie rods -mh or mag h. 50/50 tip /butt section split if that makes a a difference for your transportation requirements. $175...St Croix is nicer - butt joint ferrule split-but it is also quite a bit more expensive. If you have the time for a custom build but have a relatively limited budget , rainshadow sw 967f .. 8 ft , rated 3/4-4 oz.. The new TFO Big Fish rods might be worth considering too, am waiting to see reviews on them.

    Good work! There is a tender place in my heart for so called "trash fish" that hit swim baits... Bowfin, gar, etc- love them all!
  6. My other guess is black tip...Still, very impressive regardless. Good job on the bass & snook (that last one is a pig!!!) too.
  7. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like a spinner shark.... Impressive..Most impressive!
  8. It is a win -win situation. It's a fish. It hit a swim bait. It fights a lot harder than a bass. And you don't have to feel guilty if you have the urge to fry one every now and then.
  9. Great idea....Pitching punkers around mullet schools is something I want to try....
  10. To flaswimbaiter you must listen.. (He is the jedi master of Sunshine State swim bait fishing. Be sure to search for his posts on this forum....)
  11. Glad to see the mandingo thread has been erected again!
  12. Impressive...Most impressive!
  13. Good job! Honestly , I love catching gar (and it is way more exciting when they hit swim baits and other lures than live bait ). I've had a few on the line that were relatively docile, but I've also have had several that put up fierce, acrobatic fights.
