Good for you Jax! Life sounds good!

Tremendous improvements in the various rubber frog offerings. My biggest complaint was always the poor hooking ability they offered. There are some new trailer hook options which piggyback onto the existing hooks.

sweet!

I am going to go "old school" and suggest a lure which I have had surprisingly good luck with although the hooking ability is a bit suspect as well.........but I have caught plenty of bass in the slop with it. The old original Snagproof rubber worm. Yes, it actually catches fish and plenty of them.

I also like what ST presented. I have always been a fan of poppers. What I might do however, is remove all the weedless hooks and put a single 4/0 weedless wormhook as the trailer........maybe dress is up with some feathers so when it sits still they are moving (marabou is good for that).

Hope the house goes through for you :thumbup
