I picked up a craw crankbait from Dicks for $3. It looks insane. Cant wait to throw it this spring.

 

Live Target? If so, those look unreal..lots of attention to detail. I bought a few of them to try out too.

unfortunately i had to buy a stainless steel prop for my outboard,2 new rear tires on my truck, and 2 new tires for my trailer. My truck had the "check engine" light on so i took it to my local dealership. Tranny is shot. Theyre installing a rebuilt one with a 3 year warranty for $2,800. Im at the point where im just trying to keep everything working. lol

Well add another purchase to today. I just ordered an Okuma Helios reel from Cabelas. On sale for $160 & $30 rebate & Free Shipping.  

Two tanks of gas, gas station chicken and a bunch of coffee!

Did you get it while it was still fresh, or when it was all dried out and hard?

Yes! It looks amazing.

Well add another purchase to today. I just ordered an Okuma Helios reel from Cabelas. On sale for $160 & $30 rebate & Free Shipping.  

let me know how that Helios is. I have been eyeing that up for awhile. I have my next reel narrowed down to a Helios or Patriarch

Not a damned thing. I was sitting this afternoon in an airport waiting for my flight, bored and armed with a tablet. Went on the BPS web site to check out their online Classic sale...and bought not a thing! I think I finally sated the bait monkey.

Today was a good day.

Bought a couple of Monster Rehabs on my way in to work last night.  After reading this thread, definitely going to hit Walmart on my way home.

I bought $123 worth of groceries 

unfortunately i had to buy a stainless steel prop for my outboard,2 new rear tires on my truck, and 2 new tires for my trailer.

I hear ya brother.... my trailer needed new tires so I ordered those. When I changed them out I found out I had blown rear seals. Didnt know what the bearings were so had to pull the hubs(which were older bolt style and I wanted rid of). Since I had the hubs off, I left them off and the trailer on jackstands. We had high wind, the boat and trailer fell to the ground. I smashed my hand getting it back up in the air. My new hubs came and I installed them. I no sooner finished and got to thinking they sent me a single lip seal, checked online and sure enough they did so I had to order a new set of seals which will need put on in the next few days. I then decided to put my new fish finder in, had one heck of a time pulling the transducer wire out and back in cause it was so tight. Went to step out of the boat and missed the step and caught my leg between the shift lever and steering wheel while hanging in the air with all my weight.

 

I hope my streak on that side means that next weekend is a good finish.

No pics yet, but i got my first bait casting rod and reel yesterday... Shimano of course... ahmmm..... thanks LgMouthGambler for an awesome deal!

Was in DSG for an hour today. At one point I had a jerkbait, a hat, some soft plastics.... I walked out with nothing because I decided I really didnt need any of it.

i always laugh when people say fishing is relaxing. I understand your struggles. Its always something. Whenever i am dealing with problems, i think of how easy it was when i had a battery,trolling motor,john boat, a spinning combo and baitcast combo and 2 small plano boxes. Some of my best fishing is done when im in my kayak with 1 combo and 1 plano box. But i always have to take things to the extreme.

I bought $300 worth of jig skirts from fishingskirts.com

DSG had buy one get one 50% off so I grabbed some red eye shad in 4 different colors and some rage tails. Also picked up some jigs and a couple smithwick rogues.

I've accumulated SOOO much stuff over the years! Have drawers full of who know what! However, I was at Cabelas last week and could NOT resist this bad boy:

 

 

Called a BX Swimmer by Rapala. Similar to the Sebile Magic Swimmer, but with a bill. The fit & finish was outstanding. Like I said...just had to have it! LOL!

Had some Dicks coupons I had to use up before they expired....Picked up a couple more 10xd's, 5xd's, KVD squarebills, and Rage Shellcrackers.

I bought the Lew's baitcaster last year and so far I love it.
