Sportsman’s warehouse, like most everyone else, had some pretty crappy Black Friday sales. I’m traveling with the wife and am in Chattanooga currently. Just walked into Sportsman’s warehouse and ALL fishing (except electronics and motors) is 20% off. That’s better than what they showed last week on BF!

It’s about time…

Welcome home

Good to get to know you. I lived in Florence from 74-92. My whole family lived, and still do live there. My mom was a teacher at Florence High. You’re only about 8 yrs older than me, so I know we know some of the same people. Joined the army in 93 and started hopping across the country. After moves, both corporate and military, we found ourselves in HSV. I don’t feel bad for Ole Miss in slightest. That is coming from a diehard State fan though…

Welcome again. Gotta ask…state or ole miss…

Welcome Kenny! Where in MS? I grew up in Florence. Live in Huntsville, AL now.

I’m asking the moderator(s) to please add a downvote option for this reply!

Maybe we should get with THU for next year. I bet Ben would do that instead of/in addition to a bento box.

Mad respect bro

Here’s the eye(s) I painted up for them…

I got caught up @gim i sure hope you weren’t waiting with baited breath @Eric 26?

That’s a great goal to have. I’m also a hobby woodworker, and I’ve made a few in my day, but nothing worthy of showing.

That’s looking real good! REAL good.

This is pre-eye and pre-clearcoat.

Bruh…I read the post and was expecting epic pics. You got plenty of room and plenty of stuff needing to be bought. Don’t let the capacity of the furniture dictate your spending (this is a tip I learned from the bait monkey last year).

I have/had prescription costas. Reason I say have/had is that my prescription has changed. I go see the doctor on the 17th and plan on replacing them with new prescription lenses I’ve been wearing costas for almost 2 yrs now and love them. For the non-blind folks, I have several pair of knockarounds as well as goodr. Those are really good glasses, polarized lenses, many different styles, cool names and run between $25-$45 generally.

I live in a small neighborhood, on a small lot. I switched over to Ego Power tools about 7 yrs ago. My batteries finally started going out on me. My next purchase will be the backpack blower from Ego.

Anybody have a lead on bulk packs of st/stx-36s? With me painting some baits now, I need to rig them with hooks and split rings.

Cabela’s/Bass Pro is 10% everyday. Rapala is on Expert Voice for a decent percentage off

@Kayak Koz - how do you like that little trailer?

Just got an email from Dr Croix. 20% off on a few lines. Victory, Avid, Black Bass and Physix (sp?) were what I saw in the memo line. Didn’t open the email because I didn’t want to buy a new rod. Also, while not specifically tackle related… If you are interested in getting into painting your own baits, Gaahleri has pretty good sales on right now. Gaahleri is an airbrush manufacturer that makes really good brushes for the money.

Look at this guys @Jig Man tries his hand at comedy. Let’s hear it for him! Where you headlining next. This was such a great joke that the rest of your jokes have to be gas!! That said, my budget get determined by how often the wife checks the credit card statement. If I hear things like “these small $20-40 charges add up!”, I cut back to only a few packs of senkos vs 10…

Thank you. I painted the little guy last night a little differently. I think I like the paint on the little guy better than the other three…

Those just have a coat of UVLS gloss. I usually use KBS. I haven’t gotten eyes yet for them, so I haven’t finished them (hence the coat of UVLS). I plan on spraying kbs with an interference violet mica powder as the top coat.

Working out some final details on my new bluegill pattern. This is on a family of S-Cranks. Minus eyes.
