Bait Monkey took it easy on you.  He always makes me spend min. of $50 just to get the free shipping.  If I am at a store he forces me try out rods and reels, and look at the new electronics.

     You showed great restraint and bought excellent baits.

Very interested in those Spro Sakura Worms. They're made of elaztech style plastic, and they look super enticing in the underwater shots I saw.

Yes very stretchy. Didnt get to try them out and most likely wont(weather) til next year.:sad78:

What I have tried and caught fish with so far-rattlin, hawg, ocho, yammy, stinger. 

Picked up a pack of rattling Ned's to try since regular doesn't work great in my muddy home lake. Rage tail cut-r and just about a box worth of Seibert jigs. Also got a second SLX mgl... absolutely love this reel. 

 

Also..my zoom winnings showed up and I have no idea how the hell I'm going to store and organize this.

This is hopefully the last time before the end of the year that I get cornered by the monkey.

I can't believe the Bait Monkey found you a crankbait I haven't heard of.  He must be mad at me.  Could you give me some information on the Evoke 18

Except the 2 Megabass Vision 110's, everything in the pic is new to me as well.   The Gold Label is for next year.  I have been using Premier and it's OK.  It does the job but it doesn't seem to hold up as well as I would like it.  So hopefully the Gold Label will be better.

 

As for the Depps Evoke, it's like a Lucky Craft crank.  The quality is OK but not thrilled that I payed $20 for a plasticy feeling bait.  If it catches fish, it won't matter. 

 

What I am really looking forward to using is the Sunline Shooter Invisible.  This line is about the most expensive line I have purchased.  We will see if it's anything special next season. 

Well that got more expensive than I planned lol. I have plenty of high end gear but I appreciate cheaper things just as much oddly. Been wanting to try a Abu Garcia baitcaster. Decided on the new pro max wanted to match it up with a plx rod. Went to the local tackle shop and they had a st croix victory rod in finally, so I grabbed it 7,3 Marshall some 15lb invisix a jig and some trailers and some pink worms. Don't know why.

Received the Plano 3700 weekend series bag. At first glance it’s pretty good. It comes with two 3700 boxes so I’ll have to snag another at some point. Not bad for 19 bucks.

Took care of my fluoro for the next couple years!  Took advantage of the sale on Sunline ALF has going on right now.

Trying to expand on my late season jerk bait success this last fall.  I’m trying to stock up for the coming spring .I have  Also watching a ton of you tube videos.  
 

Hook up tackle in Arizona  puts out good you tube videos breaking down all the difffernt kinds of mega bass and lucky strike jerk baits. 
 

so I’ve been binging a little on them.  These in this photo are all of the ones I’ve won off of eBay over the last month. 3 still in packages are lucky 100’ sp’s.  I won the top 2 walleye colored ones I won on eBay for $10.50 total. The blue gill 100 sp I paid $9.50 for. The bottom right 2 are lucky craft 110 lighting pointers in ghost minnow and blue gill. I forget how much I paid but, don’t believe it was over $12.

 

id like to add some size 78 for the spring and probably purchase a couple mega bass ones too. 
 

 

I’ve not used the Pointer series before.  I’ve used the lighting pointer from other mfgs. Those walleye colored ones could be killer.  Also could pass for perch. The bluegill looks good too for muddier or darker water.  I’m sure both will get plenty of attention from the various esox species as well.

Unlike vision 110’s, they suspend parallel(straight - ) rather than like this /.  My first ever jerkbait fish was on one, in Ghost Minnow.

I only live 2.5 hours south of him so shipping was quick! I should’ve drove up their to pick them up so I could meet the legend himself! 

Finally won some lucky craft 78 sp’s.  The silver one I’ve bee. Trying to win now for 3 weeks. Each one was in a 2 pack.  The silver and the perch colored ones should be good colors for around here. Plus saved 8.99 on combined shipping. Should have them here in about a week. 
 

maybe on the prowl for some more I’m not

Really impressed, ordered from ALF on Monday and it was on the doorstep today. Also want to thank many on the spinnerbait rod thread I started. This was the rod that I chose that hopefully will fit my needs. If not I also have a MHM Victory on the way and this will be a square bill or lipless rod.
