i have been on a trip to atlanta for the past 3 days, and they had a bass pro there. i hit it up, and asked bout castaics. i was looking for a baby bluegill but they were all sold out. he directed me to their big baits, and i saw the most awesome deal.....the 9" trout for 8.99....needless to say, it was mine, along with a 4.99 perch, mainly for stripers. i also got a small 3" optimum shad. i ventured out to lake lanier ga, and had so many follows on the trout and perch. they would follow it up, and i would cast the little optimum out and BAM, i would catch ish from .6-51/2 lbs! very fun -patrick
