Have you tried the Keitech guard jigs? They are my go to finesse jig. So good. I like the mono’s too but I have broke the hooks a couple times.

I haven't, but I haven't had an issue with the mono jig as I'm using it with light drag to locate active crappie in very cold water. If I can find the crappie, active bass will often be in the zone too. If I can get some action on the jig, I'll switch over to something like the 5" Bucca Floater also shown in my previous post which will have weight added for an ultra-slow sink which will allow for a slightly below the surface sitting-duck presentation on a painfully slow retrieve.

Picked up a few more mini max’s to add to the collection.

Also picked up my first ever batch of vision 110s. I told myself I would never do this, but here we are.

Definitely an indication of our disease. "Wow..6 of them. Must be an amazing lure!" -I've never used one 🤷‍♀️

@KP Duty I am super excited to try them out. I finally need to see what all the hype is about. I’m really impressed with the paint scheme on the matte perch one on the bottom.

Oh they'll work 🥷

Found $80 outside my truck yesterday. Finders keepers…(I was the only one there?)

Anyway, since it was free money, I had to pay the monkey.

You will end up with a whole box of them when you see how productive they are. I would add a +1 in the regular or junior size too.

@Jerkbait22 haha I hear you there. I’ve got a number of the jr sized lucky craft equivalents that should get me by until then. I’m taking baby steps here 😆.

Unfortunately, another local tackle shop bit the dust. They did have quite the sale going on, but I was a bit late to the REALLY good stuff.

Where/who?

I picked up a bunch of Arukus and Wamekos. Spros has them on sale, runs through the end of the month. You save 60 to 65%. I live in New Jersey and they didn’t charge sales tax, free shipping over $100.

I use a lot of traps so these are just adding to stock. This is the first time I’ve seen this type of sale from Spro outside of Black Friday.

Went to an outdoor show yesterday before the snow coming in.

Only brought some hair jigs, I've told myself to concentrate on fishing them this year as I have the rod and reel setup for them.

Anybody got any of the new megabass colors headed there way? I'm putting together an order, but can't decide on what to get. Guess I just need to get a second job for megabass funds.

Picked up a 10” WCZ tyrant and 3” Senkos. Guess I’m a man of extremes 😂😂😂😂

New SV3 single willows look like awesome baits for pond knocking.

I really should have pulled the trigger on the frozen shad at the time and now I can't find them anywhere near a reasonable price.

I almost got a viper tiger sonic side for spring but was able to hold off. I did however buy a bunch of new raid crankbaits instead.

Thanks for the heads up....I just jumped on this also.

Got another buckeye lures flipping jig in black and blue.

I’ve been hearing some good things on some of the raid stuff. Excited to try some

I picked up their new flat side crank the skm. They built it to be a cross between a shad plug and flat side crank. I fish a lot of pressured lakes and ponds where I think it could excel.
