Basspro has the Abu Garcia Zatas for $109 right now. I’ve seen mixed reviews but that seems like a good price.

Very sorry to hear that. My condolences to Tom’s family.

2 original Snipers and an Invoker Pro. I still have one Invoker pro and one sniper. They don’t get much use anymore.

I picked up a couple G-5s to try during the bogo Black Friday sale. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the fit and finish. I have a few Ark rods (most have snapped on hook set) so my expectations weren’t super high for their reels. Pretty pumped to try them out this spring.

I picked up one of these to try: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_D-Box_Utility_Storage_Box_3600_Deep/descpage-DSDB.html It’s not super sturdy but really deep and customizable.

Kittery has a 30% off coupon right now. They have a couple Megabass Levantes in stock - $139.00 GIFT30

Midway has a bunch of good stuff marked down 40-60%. Select colors and sizes as usual.

I think they had a 40% off everything deal not too long before BF…I’m hopeful that we’ll get another week to blow obscene cash on unnecessary tackle hahaha

Some of my Amazon Haul orders. Also decided to give the Ark reels a try since they were bogo.

https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1029236735?pid=638958 Frogg Toggs FTX Elite full rain suit for under $300. Seems like a good deal.

Sunline Assassin Flouro is 40% off on the SunlineAmerica website. $36 for 660yds of 17lb ain’t bad!

The Amazon Haul deal is crazy, gents! Other great finds: Swamp Lords Zakos Senkos Hula Grubs SK jigs Power Stingers The list goes on!

They’re actually much more substantial than I thought they’d be. The plastic hinges can be a little sticky. Overall, I’d glad I got them at the sale price but wouldn’t pay full. Don’t get the little inserts though. They’re kinda worthless. The 3500s are tiny but really nice. Great for terminal and small jig heads. One caveat - if you look at images of the packaging, it shows that you can stack all the boxes really neatly. 2 3600s on top of a 3700 and 2 3500s on the 3600. I thought they’d have little groves or something that would sort of “lock” them in (kinda like the Dewalt drill bit boxes). Not the case with these. They do fit flush meaning the dimensions are such that there’s no overhang when stacked but there’s nothing keeping them on one another. That was a bummer. For size reference, I have the Bass Pro Advanced Angler backpack that I had 5 waterproof Plano 3600s in. I can get 3 of these 3600 deeps, 2 3600 regulars, and 2 3500s in the main compartment.

The SPRO sale, round 1…

When it’s not even Black Friday yet….

SPROs early black friday sale is pretty good...definitely worth checking out! SPRO Sports Professionals

I have the Shoreman Goretex pac lite suit that this one replaced. For under $300, it’s a great deal. Not sure if the new one is as lightweight as the old though. If so, it makes one of the best summer rain suits I’ve seen/used.

That’s the one I wanted. Ended up with the 6’8mh. May never use it bc I’m not a fan of sub 7’ rods but couldn’t pass up that price!

A few Legend X rods for $200…

Under Armour has their fish elite rain suit for 40% off on their website. Comes out to around $265 for both jacket and bibs.

I may be dumb…how do you score the 40% off??

I’m not a fan. It’s not a true fast action, more moderate. Definitely a bit more whippy than I was expecting.

Check out Tackle warehouses bargain bin! You’ll see a bunch of nice squares for $3-$5!

Looks like Shimano is hittin us with another price hike. Up to 22% I hear. You’re killing me, Smalls!
