Silver Blue HJ-6 is the way to go in smaller lakes and ponds right now.
Get ready for non-stop stream trout action with the FLR-6!!!!
Bluegill SR-5 at a slowish steady retrieve from shore near water 3'+ will get you lots of bass, perch, pickerel, and crappie in May. Get it down within a few cranks and let it slowly rise a foot or 2 before giving it a few cranks again will grab fish's attention.
Clackin Crank CNC-53 grabs the attention of those bass easily.
Play topwater with the Hot Steel F-5 in May and crappie will be going nuts!!!
Bass and pickerel love the topwater action of the Skitter Pop when you're neer pads and weeds.
Clackin Rap CNR-7 is a combination of freshwater and saltwater.
Come August and September, get that HJ-6 into the surf with your trout setup and you'll be knockin those snappers out!!!
FLR-6, HJ-6, and HJ-8 are go to lures for larger rivers such as the Farmington, upper Housy, and Naugy when it comes to other fish besides trout. |

| Saw the new scatter raps yesterday at Dicks. I was surprised how big the lips on those things are. Way bigger than a regular lip - like a massive warped spoon. I do my best not to pay retail for lures and I didn't have any coupons so I haven't picked one up to try yet. |

Instead of burning gas on your vehicle and trying to get deals at Dick's, get the good deals on Ebay.
I recently got 6 Husky Jerk HJ-6 together in 1 listing for a total of $25.99!
Brand new off the display shelf Penn Sargus 6000 for a total of $54.99! |

| A good portion of my tackle has come from eBay. Definitely some good deals to be had. |
