2015 Soft Water Season ** What Are You Itching To Try **

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Probably the first lure i'll be throwing this upcoming season, the Jackall Pompadour.

There is also the Deps Buzzjet, we previously owned the smaller Jr. size (included in photo for size comparaison) there is no doubt the bigger profile will produce more vibrations and splash. Looking forward to trying out this one.

Dale,
When they hit the market, anglers were praising innovation, they really aren't nothing new, but a must have for a tacklehoe! (Ed carries them at Paddletales) ;)

You might remember the Heddon Crazy crawler. Heddon introduced this lure in 1940 after acquiring the patent rights to the 'WOW' lure from the Donaly Company.

'Wow' lure.

You are right, I do recognize that one. It must make a hell of a racket eh?

What's wrong with 2.5oz?? Just means he'll have to add another rod! :D

I got one last week, can't wait to throw it. She looks sweet. Kind of wish I bought another before some dude came in and cleared out the store!

So your suggesting they are the. In the $475 range when complete!
That's right in Mav's price range after his winning at pool the other night!

And Ed, why not near Muskies?

What's old is new again for me. I inherited my uncle's fishing tackle and a couple of rifles last year. My aunt passed this year and while my sister was cleaning up the house last week she came across a bag of new tackle from the nineties. Of great interest to me were six Blue Fox Vibrax Minnow Chasers which are no longer made and seem to be fairly rare as I've seen them on ebay for up to $30. Never seen them before and the design is quite intriguing. It simulates one fish chasing another. Made in Finland. Also got two Vibrax Minnow Spins in sizes not available anymore. It gets lots of good reviews but I can't find much on the Minnow Chasers so if anyone has any stories on them that would be great.

...... and if I get an extra rod, that will mean another reel. 8)

What did you buy? A rat or a rod?
