Got cut off twice this week using my favorite spoon, Luhr Jenson cast champ 37 grams, ordered 4 of them a couple of days ago for $2.99.  My freshwater fishing has consisted of using only top water and jerkbaits, bought a few.

One of my new toys that came in the mail today :)

The lucky craft.. I was looking at that one, but with my current rod setup I don't think it fly.

Tackle junkie I think it is on YouTube reviewed that lure and said it was good.

Bait Money Strikes Again..... I will have to post all my loot when it arives.. I have 3 different arive dates from back orders.

If I remember correctly they changed how they ship the back orders, now they wait until everything comes in and ship it all together.

I just made an order yesterday and they sent an email saying that they will make 2 shipments because of backorders.  So I assumed they were doing two different orders on mine too.  Who knows.

Was on little family trip and ran into a fishing expo in Collinsville, IL. Picked up another Curado 200i for $145, couple vision 110's for $20 each, and some havoc pit boss for just over $2.

Stopped by the local bait and tackle-Wacky Worm. They don't have much of a internet presence but they are loaded with baits. Picked up a nice 3/4 flat head brush jig, some neko sinkers, a pack of Power Team jig craws and 1/16 weighted hooks for wacky rigging senkos. I'm really interested in trying the neko rig on my plastics to see if that technique works.

Good to know. I have my big fish/ Heavy lure set up picked out. And I think by bass opener (May) I should be able to get the setup and one of these Lucky's.

 

What I have planed to but is the

Abu Garcia REVO Toro NaCl Generation 3 Casting Reel with the Abu Garcia Volatile Casting Rods in 8' MH (For lures 1/2 to 3oz)

 

If I have to step down I will on the reel and get the Revo Winch

I have this itch to place an order on TW... But I have this feeling when I do something I want will be left in the 25 days sale.

But when I do place it.. Hello new caster, soft plastics, and the last of my hard baits I have been eyeing.

Last year my buddy ordered a BBZ Jr... Three days later I took advantage of the 25 days sale, getting a Jr for the usual $20 with a free 8"  :eyebrows:

That was one of the items last year I seem and was eyeing. I got it thought this year during the black Friday sale. I was surprised. I only got a couple things from the black 25 days sale. Everything else was something that was referred to me or something I have always wanted to try.

The TW sale got me for over $200 this week... Also found a deal on an Abu Garcia combo, and let me not forget my lucky tackle box and mystery tackle box coming..... But it is Christmas early!

On the nice side I got the mad dog shell cracker g2? So I have to try it out..

Also got 2 Spro BBZ's coming in 6 in... and I can say this is the first time spending $20 Per or more on a bass lure! I don't even drop $20 for a musky lure.

But does anyone own these two in particular and care to share there insight on the lures.

The bbzs will flat out catch fish. People don't like them because apparently there is a problem with using a bait that costs less than $50 and isn't hard to find. But I like them, and I don't feel like I'm going to have a heart attack when I let them sink out of view to fish them a little deeper. My friend has a g2 and it gets bit. It wakes very well even at a slow crawl, and it can be used as a squarebill, but it won't dive deeper than 1-2'. The main reason I don't have one is because I held out for a hardgill and since I have that I don't feel a need for the g2.

yeah, I got a $250 gift card for TW burning a hole in my wallet.

 

I am not sure if I need what I am thinking about, but I know I am getting something.  I guess I can add 2015 to years I have been a bait monkey victim.

I fell off of the wagon last week.  Bought a new 370 size tackle bag, 10 new boxes for it, bag of Fat Alberts, and a mid range diving crankbait.  Then I picked up my reels from being cleaned and while I was there I bought about 20 small inline spinners for crappie and trout.

It's all in the long-term planning and perception.  

 

 

Allow me to explain:  Tatsu is on sale right now for 40% off.  Also, if I spend $50 I get free shipping.  I can't afford to not get the line and a sexy swimbait to bump it over $50, otherwise if it goes off sale and I don't get the other gear, I'd pay the extra $7 for shipping AND the other 40% of the price of the line.  It's almost like getting a nice bait that I was going to buy anyways for almost free.  Almost.   :grin:

 

 

I didn't know having the bait monkey as my accountant would be so useful!   :eyebrows:    When he says "wise allocation" or "timely investment" like that, it makes it so much easier to say yes.

picked up a 6'7MF *** black spinning rod yesterday.  It was just so nice in my hands I couldn't resist.  Paired it up with my new Pfleuger Patriarch and it is now the lightest combo i own, don't have a scale to be exact but it is crazy light.
