I just added a chatterbait finally.  As with all other new baits I will probably throw it 3-4 times and say "this sucks" and throw something else that doesnt catch them either.
I am a pre bred mix between a ninja and a polar bear.  A truly deadly combination.

PIGSMALLIE

Hey Cooper , I find out I'm the same way with something new,but I'll give it 7-8 casts. LOL ???

spinninbug

Don't put the chatter bait away,  guys in the teardrop won a tourney last year with that bait.  It works,  the first time I threw it I caught one,  the first cast.   :D

Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

Revtro

Chatter type bait.(swim jig)  I never just go out and buy stuff because it's a fad, so I know I'm a couple of seasons late on this one, but I guess I'll give 'em a try.

Slim Jim snack box.  Best fishin' snack there is.  ;D

Yup - Chatter bait is new,

Lastly I put some Luckycraft shad and perch slash baits
Thanks Dan for bringing year round Catch and Release to Michigan

I probably almost spended 1G this winter alone,between filling up an entire box with plastic worms,tubes,lizards,frogs,grubs and beavers.Got 2 citica reels,shimano clarus rod(getting another one in a week or 2) and countless spinnerbaits,crankbaits,rat-l-traps and floating minnows i try to pick up on sale.

I still wanna get some more rooster tails and a lure box specifically for them.They are my go to lures.A fly box was suggested by somebody on storing the rooster tails,any other suggestions are welcome.

I got quite a few new things....now i gotta figure out how to use them all.
