Found a great deal from a fellow BR member on an AVID 6'8MXF spinning rod and a Crucial casting rod

Just bought 3 Bomber Square Bills, 1 Robo Worm 4 1/2" Aaron's Magic Green, SK Super Fluke Houdini, SK Super Fluke White Ice and my first package of SK 1/4 Tungsten bullet weights.

 

But I have to now buy another River 2 Sea Spinnerbait in White/Cht as a big pike took off with it today.  He must've been in the 30-40" range, I just threw out my remaining Berkley Vanish Floro because I used it as a leader and the knot slipped. That is it for me, can't handle it anymore.  Biggest regret on paying for the crap.  I have had no issues with P Line or Mono leaders ever.  2nd time for me the knot slipped, first time thought it was me, this time it can't be coincidence. Another DON'T BUY THIS!

Bought my first Loomis - MBR783 GLX. 

Smithwick Perfect 10

Sufix Elite Mono 10lb. Clear

Two Heddon Super Spook Jr's

Booyah! Real Gill spinnerbait

Bomber Deep Fat Free Shad

New pair of Jimmy Houston fishing shades

Just got this in the mail. Had to have one.

I have a plano box full of different sizes of them, pretty cool baits!

Having a good run with it so far. I've got some of the more normal looking Zeal lures, but I've wanted this guy for a while. I'm hoping it will be a snakehead slayer.

Exchanged my Helios for a Chronarch 50E.

Got a Cabelas bag $10 that was 50% off.

Got some PPS8S that was 25% off. 

Some Xcalibur lipless cranks $3.

Few other items

 

I bought a case of yuengling lager...man it is good and cold...tasty too!

Bought a $5 dollar scratch off.  Didn't win anything though.  I don't know why I keep buying these things.  They always cheat.

That is an impressive haul.

Our Dick's finally has subwoofers. Going to give these a try as a swim jig alternative to the 5in grub.

On my way back from the Rolling Stones concert in Toronto I stopped off at the Bass Pro just outside of the city and bought some of those scatter rap Rapalas -- some crankbaits, minnows and countdowns -- plus some plastics (Havoc Pit Bosses and some 4" Senkos), some flies and poppers in the fly shop...it was actually a surprisingly inexpensive day (well, relatively speaking).

That is an impressive haul.

Thanks Hootie

Getting ready for the Skeeter Owners Tournament on Lake Fork. Fish there are in a Solid post-spawn pattern so the order of the day will be secondary lake points cover water from 1-5 feet ... which means square bill shallow cranks for me ... Here is the fruit I picked up from Cableas today:

All those listed are in shad patterns

River2Sea - Ish Monroe's Bumpin Rattle-Fast Floater.

Rapala Scatter raps

Also a Rapala .... A Xtreme shallow slashbait.

Actually, yesterday at BPS. I bought 2 spools of Seaguar Abrazx, 12#, 2 spools of Seaguar Red label 12#, a pack of 3" Chigger Craws, black, blue flk., a pack of Strike King Rage chunks, Okeechobee craw. That's it.

Gotta love that discount....lol

3 weeks ago I bought a boat

Ha!  Everyone else says 'I bought some baits' or 'I got a new reel'.  This guy says 'oh you know, picked up a boat the other day'.  I think you win, draggin.  Congrats on the new boat!

I bought 4 Bomber Square Bills on clearance at Sail and 4 XCalibur Lipless cranks.  Bought them all for 27 bucks, were on clearance for 3 bucks a piece.

Local Wal-Mart had Abu Garcia Vendetta gen.1 rods on clearance for $30. I have been wanting a something a little shorter than my 7' Avid "in the cone" drop shot rod, it's not something I do often so for $30 ................why not. Now I will have to get an Abu spinning reel, my OCD will NOT let me slap one of my Shimano's on it. LOL

I was thinking of grabbing one too, local retail store has them on sale for 49 though.  If it were 30 I probably would've jumped all over it.  I probably will still buy one as I'm in the market for a dedicated spinnerbait rod.  It's funny about your OCD.  I refused to put my Shimanos on my lone Daiwa T Rod..lol

thanks and that was my lure money for the year.

I got 2 packs of VMC Fastgrip WG 4/0 hooks Gander had them $1.97/pk so decided to try them out on palm trees and hydras.

NRX 893JWR, 20lb tatsu, and a couple of new Molix lover vibrating jigs!

3 bags of Vixen finess worms in "main vein" color .  Will use them drop shoting.

All the first generation Vendetta's they have left are marked down to $30. Selection is getting low though. The on I bought was the last 6'9" ML spinning rod, they still had a couple of 7' MH, and 6'6" M spinning rods, and a few 6'6", and 7' M casting rods.
