Namsu11 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I really appreciate your post. I am just getting into swimbait fishing and have yet to catch my first swimbait fish. I have only been out two times for a total of about 8 hours with no followers or bites. However, like yourself, I am mentally prepared for the grind. It's good to hear others out there are committed!

Kyle Davidson Posted August 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Thanks for all the support! Still been out there grinding, we had 45 days where it didn't dip below 100, no fun. I still got out a few times but the bite was tough, stayed away from the traditional but did throw the frog and caught a few. Last night was finally a bit cooler and my schedule opened up. Nothing huge, but after spending 2 hours trying to find my buddies Pizz Carp, I decided to toss the Tinky Klash along a line of sunken tree tops at dark. She slammed it right where I hoped she would, great end to the evening. My H and MH LDC just touched down today and I am unloading all but a few of my remaining traditional reels. Can't wait to tear it up this fall, gonna be a blast! It was also a double whammy of awesomeness as when I got home I had an email from Andy. After four years (I had to look) we finally connected and I have two Hinkle Trouts on the way. I am a determined SOB so I was really pumped to finally get them ordered. (Neither are for sale, I grabbed one for a friend as well). Just waiting for the LDC white label XXH to come back into stock, fingers crossed I can get them to churn out a few 8'6" porkmeatballs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slideaction Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I've gotten to where I can take just one rod I can trust to cast 1oz to 6oz baits (6in to 10in baits) and it limits a lot of tackle choice. With that I bring baits I need work on and one or two confidence ones. Do take the good with the bad as well. Kyle Davidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Davidson Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Well, I am a gear nerd at heart so I decided to REALLY commit... Can't thank Ben and the crew at LDC enough for making such a quality product. Great service and I absolutely love fishing these rods. Ben even noticed I was missing a rubber end cap on the XXH, pointed it out to me and had one in the mail before I could even say thank you!

ISO_the1 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 For weedless I recently started fishing the Rago weedless and like it a lot!! Not throughly imprested with the battleshad...but time will tell. I did this, full commit, right after I got hooked into big baits. Left the conventional gear at home and took one or 2 SB setups and a backpack full of baits and hit the banks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
