I bought about 10 Red Eye Shad's and 3 Spro Aruku Shad's back during the Black Friday event on TW in 2014. Not going to lie I haven't even thrown a single one yet. I have bait hoarding issues.

You're supposed to hoard the stuff you will actually throw...

I wish I would have talked you earlier. I just bought some the other day. I could have bought them from you. I'm fishing Okie Bfl and lipless cranks are vital over there.

This reminded me of the Pro Team Journal that I watched this weekend. They had the new 2 tap Strike King Red Eye shad with a tungsten weight. It was so over the top I almost threw up. They were fishing Toledo Bend and Rayburn. (Classic Lipless lakes) acting like they were  catching them due to the different rattle sound. "He bit that like he had never heard that before, cause he hasn't Ha Ha Ha" Cheesy would be an understatement.

That show has always been pretty over the top with the cheese factor. But a lot of those types of shows have surfaced in recent years. They are more infomercials than actual fishing shows. Hey, as long as we still watch them, they are accomplishing their intended purpose.

I ordered a bunch of the predator bass bait blanks. the quality control on them was pretty bad. So, I might need to try the barlow's blanks or buy clearance rack square bills. 

Trophy, I ordered a bunch in December.  I had the same problem.  I had the best luck with the sq bills and the deep divers.  I couldn't get the WW knock offs to run straight no matter what I did.  Last time I'm going there.

True. The older I get the less apt I am to buying that stuff. On the other hand, if I can't be on the water I watch a bunch of shows and videos to scratch that itch.

I hoard all lures. I don't discriminate. Lure Lives Matter.

That's a hillbilly garage sale is what it is.  Let me know when it happens.

Sometimes I buy baits just because I'm afraid no one else will love them.
