Starting the reel maintenance and I found out why my 'cheap' BC was so cheap. One of the gears lost a couple teeth and the plastic piece that's part of the mechanism to return the thumb-bar to lock position was cracked, so that wasn't working.

 

Browsed Amazon and found a President XT for $47 - ordered and it's on it's way.

Rapala's came the other day. I should of got a couple more of the glass.

 

Monkey got me for a few Vision 110s from Kittery.  One is still back ordered.

I grabbed one of these, too. My old BPS Extremes were discontinued years ago, and I believe that Pfleuger made those, so I thought that the XT was worth a try, especially for the price.

Considering I already have a President in my arsenal that I used extensively last season...it's not 'worth a try' for me, but 'worth the price'.

Today was an absolutely no lure buying day. I just had go get some groceries but the monkey was there and I bought 2 Strike King swimming jigs in green pumpkin and white with rage menace trailers. Next weekend though I'm gonna turn the monkey loose!!!!

I guess you were at Walmart.

I bought similar jigs a week ago there.

Pretty good deal at $2.50 each.

Wish they had more colors to choose from.

Yessir! Too good of a deal to pass up. Guess I've bought half a dozen so far during the winter and several weeks ago I managed to get one wet. That Rage Menace trailer looks amazing coming through the water. 

I am only seeing 3 colors here. I took notice of the Luck E Strike bladed jig and spinnerbaits carried there too. I would like to hear from anyone that has used them and what their opinion is. My only connection to the company is the RC jerkbait and some of their cranks.

I bought a Johnny Morris Signature Series combo at Bass Pro. 320 dollars but got a 145 off with my daughters discount. Hard to pass up. May get another one because she’s quitting that job soon and no more discounts.

I would do the smart thing and forbid her from quiting, if she still insists on quiting, then you have no other choice than to disown her!  ?

One of my favorite bands has what may be the perfect shirt for all of us in here.

 

 

Went to Bass Pro last night to look at depth finders for the new yaks. Ended up with a Helix 7. Got the Spring Classic sale of $400 OTD so the spring classic sale prices might be already uploaded into their system.

New rides for the Daiwa Catalina and Curado K 6 speed. 13 Omen Black ll 7'6" MHF and 13 Defy Black 7'3" Crankbait.

They're going to build one in Sayreville right by the Raritan Bridge. Thats been in the works for a few years now.

Little trip to Walmart, can't help but to hit the fishing section up. I usually clear them out of those nail weights for $0.88 cents each, but I have so many now, I only grabbed two this time just out of habit.

I’ve ordered directly from them a few times, they make stuff in limited numbers so they are out of stock fairly often.
