NKD - CLA Magnacut / OD G10
Added an auto CLA to the family in Magnacut with OD G10 scales. It's new I know...but might be my favorite. Feels amazing in the hand and incredibly solid
Megabass Whippet - my new favorite bass rod
This rod is so much fun with smaller hard baits. Had some nice results on a quick afternoon session using an X-80 jr. For a 6'6" F2 power rod it has some impressive action. Paired mine with a Vanford 2500 using 8lb J-Braid Grand and 8lb Seaguar Blue Label FC leader
Putting the Kirisame Ultimate to work!
By far the most fun rod I own. Incredible sensitivity with surprising power when you need it. Using Ironfeather PE 0.4 with 4lb Seaguar Blue. Absolutely dominating the trout with little X-raps today
Mini Heavy Duty Trout Killers
Haven't posted in a while but made some new heavy duty mini spinners as I'm in the middle of spring trout season. Been absolutely dominating with these pink and gold. Using a more stout stainless shaft at 0.030", hand looped with solid brass beads and clear pink accent bead. Dressed with a durable pink Krystal Flash and bonded to a size 10 BKK Spear treble. I made these on the smaller side with a size 0 hammered gold French blade. These are nearly indestructible and weigh in just a touch under 1/16oz
Indoor Rod Storage - Apartment Dwellers
Pretty impressed with this rod rack kit I got off Amazon for under 10 bucks. Fills the dead space next to my home office desk nicely too! Thought I'd share it along
Smokeless Smoked Trout
Hey all - if you're like me and love trout fishing and enjoying smoked trout, but live in an apartment / condo, this recipe (pic #4) is absolutely delicious. I had to share since I just tried it for the first time with a few small stockers I caught yesterday and I'm shocked how well it worked. I followed this recipe exactly as it was written. Credit to the Utah Wildlife Forum where someone posted it.
Morning UL Session & Dinner for later!
Caught about 15 or so this morning on the homemade spinners and kept 3 for a nice meal tonight! I definitely grocery shop less during trout season.
Rod consolidation to 3 Megabass Destroyers
My final rod addition for my consolidation effort going from 12 rods down to 3. These will cover all the freshwater fishing I do from perch to trout to bass. Really loving all 3 and will use them heavily instead of multiple rods collecting dust. Added the Addermine after trading some gear with the Rod Locker. Overall great experience working with them!

Karashi Hook Upgrade
Love this lure but hate the hooks. Few basic fly tying materials and some BKK trebles and 100% better.
I love Benchmade and love fishing. This Mini Adira seems like it's going to be a great fit! Excited to clean my first trout with it. Man does Benchmade make you feel special with their packaging!
Lots of fun on the Megabass UL! Beautiful sites along the way!
Hitting them nice this evening on my homemade pink and gold spinner...nothing like fresh trout for dinner!
Excited I finally received the last brass part I was waiting for from Flytanium. Here's my complete Bugout with Green Canvas Micarta scales, brass backspacer, steel & brass axis lock bar, and brass thumb stud. Gave me a chance to take it apart and freshly clean her up!
