Closer detail shot of all the variety of plumage

One more....

Got her all dressed proper

Dang I thought I was going to get a new swimbait reel this year but it looks like this isn't going to be suited for my interests I guess I'll have to stick with the 18s and the Ryoga platforms.

Sticking to the single jointed style, I found some NOS of these. Wood style 8-) just like it's similar bait in the Roman made it's a nice little freestyle topwater oriented bait you can walk the dog with it you can pop it stop and go and have a kick out to either side depending on how your cadences ...

I was hoping to start a run with yesterday being the first time in a yak this year, and hit up some familiar area. Caught some peace of mind and then late last night I heard the brief storm rolled in. I was laughing as I didn't realize I hit on the day right before a storm came through. Spent a coup...

Absolutely stoked on this pheasant skin. Bless the bird that this is from [-o< The assortment and colors on these feathers is stunning. Pictures of course do not do this patch justice. The iridescent copper really is amazing, but hard to see here. I should be able to really add some flare to my craz...

Goldie, big thanks what an acknowledgement 8-) perhaps that could be in the future haven't really put my work out there obviously. I was toying with the idea of developing my own bait line but we'll see I feel it's pretty diluted Market and plus I don't do social media generally for much of anything...

One thing I will say is that visually feather look amazing and add tons of action on most baits in the water and I have mentioned briefly in the past I also feel it gives a bait some tactile element for the mouth when a fish decides to sniff or outright inhale

Goldie at this point I think it is all in my head theory wise :lol: truth be told it is just something I enjoy(dressing treble hooks) as far as inticing fish I am sure that is just a coin flip. I don't have a whole lot of proof as I it's been a long while since I've caught a swim Bait fish but then ...

Dipped back into the Bucca pool. 6" Floater Shad fresh with sight line war paint SUPER SEXY Shad style and I am out

This water shot looked neat, the back seems to have more of a color shifting spray done, more red appears more in the sun exposure than darker greens and blacks from the previous indoor pictures. big grin:

Okay so for me the weather I belive is just about right for regular trips for me, basically took the winter off after losing my Hiro Shad but for those who keep track I have long since gotten over with quite a few recent procurements. Bring me to the Roman made South "Red Thunder Cracker". I am sure...

Stoked on this procurement! Finally got something from Roman Made. Always wanted a Negotiator and awhile back this(being the South) almost made it into my growing bait arsenal, but the plan was to to drill and fill to make it a slow sinker, but that never came to fruition

Wow the eyes in that picture look different, bigger
