See What I Bought at the Swimbait Universe Gathering – 2022
I’m not new to spending lots of money on fishing tackle, but I’m new to the swimbait game and definitely a bit gun shy when it comes to dropping $100 (or substantially more) on a single bait. Accordingly, I came up with a loose game plan in advance of the Swimbait Universe Gathering 4. I wanted to be flexible but smart, free-minded but not necessarily impulsive.
I wasn’t interested in flipping baits or collectibles. Everything I purchased was for myself and with the intention of using them to catch more and bigger bass. Check out the YouTube video I made of my retail journey and let me know in the comments section what you think of my choices.
