So most of y'all know I'm a strictly soft plastics guy, no double troubles, no live bait! With that said a few of you probably know I'm prostaff for a few brands including D.O.A. Lures and STANK STICK as well as a few others. Well recently I received my STANK shipment and had a few bonus packs of TRIGGERED BAITS thrown in for me to test and review. Here is the comparison between one of my absolute favorites the D.O.A. 3" cal in #308 glow holographic glitter up top and the TRIGGERED Baits 3.8" swimbait in color glacier bay. Both are paired with the D.O.A. HotHeads in pearl a welcome addition to add eyes to a screwlock rig.The slightly larger profile is great, especially with the lengthened tail section, it should produce a bit more action at slow retrieves and on the fall. The density of the plastic itself is very similar which is important to me as the D.O.A. is very consistent to the density of an actual baitfish and the TRIGGERED Baits is just the same. The elasticity of D.O.A. isn't the best and the TRIGGERED Baits has some stretch to it. I also did a basic buoyancy test and the D.O.A. falls slightly faster then the TRIGGERED Baits which is likely only due to it being more compact in size but should be beneficial in some situations. Both brands fall face first naturally and lay flat on the bottom. All in all these I do believe are going to be a very welcome addition to my mix of tricks. If you're drooling and just gota have some to try yourself head on over to STANK STICK and hit the drop tab to find triggered Baits, be sure to use the promo code Tstprojd90 at checkout to save a little extra gas money!

I could possibly be the world's biggest procrastinator...Awhile back I announced a giveaway once I reached 250 followers. Well that time has come and passed and I'm finally getting to the part where I announce the winners. I chose at the time of posting that #250 would be a winner. #250 was Chip Sanders. I would also draw 2 others. I did this old school written and cut out mixed in a bowl, my 3 year old son pulled 1 and my wife pulled the other and those 2 winners are Hobie Dixon and John Tidwell. All 3 of the winners will be receiving 2 packs of DOA Lures a stick of STANK STICK and a Salty Swagger hat. Congratulations to each of you and thank you to my sponsors for their support in me and help with little things like this ❤

Fished my day of the Sunjammers Redfish Challenge yesterday (day3). New format, you choose 1 of the 3 days to fish at time of registration. Best 2 fish limit to 27". The bite early was barely fair and only slowed as the day went. First 2 fish held the position🤙 Ole goldfish was not the smiling snack. Got chomped on pretty good, resilient fish for sure! From watching him cruise up on the DOA Lures 3" cal #308 glow glitter 🔥on the STANK STICK trail to the fight never knew till got in the net. He took off on release like he was ready to wrestle the shark🤣 Thankyou to all the participants and congratulations to Brad anthis on the 2nd place finish and Mike Spence on the 3rd place. It was definitely a struggle.

Busy day for my page lol, it sure is nice to get rewarded for fishing!!! if your a Florida resident or on vacation and doing some fishing get the most out of your time on the water! Check out all the different programs offers. From several different slams to a list of reel big fish to life lists, and while your on a mission to chase the achievements if you pick a " trout, flounder or sheepshead get those pictures and help to sustain and grow a healthier population of the big fish we all want to catch by releasing the ones who matter most. It's not about the sticker though the stickers are welcome. It's about the message and encouraging others. Your trophy fish of a lifetime can be 5 other people's trophy fish of a lifetime aswell if we practice good fish handling and releasing. This aside from not wanting 5 hooks in my thigh with 1 attached to a squirming fish is a big part of why I use a single hook and soft plastics and even then I still get a few that won't survive, though it's rare that's when I bring home dinner. Note: my RO20" helmet decals in the trout pattern 13 on this side and 6 on the other awaiting 5 more + whatever else I can submit this month.

👀 another one!!! My best attempt at a +size slam to date!! (R-27,T-25,F-19) Got a late start yesterday, and just took it lazy and fished as the opportunities presented themselves.The relaxation was brief and replaced with some excitement when I spooked this big girl off the flat and she did the twister and smashed the 3" #308 glow glitter and you know I had it with the shad stick, that was almost as much fun as watching 3 full slot reds run off a deep flat with all the vigor of a shark to smash it too.Got a , a and a 🤣 either paddle the fish or let the fish paddle 🤣 that's +2 more for the and 2 more inshore slams also for a total of 8 RO20s and 3 slams in 3 weeks!!! Get out there!
