I think my girlfriend is working for the Bait Monkey. We just did our taxes and I'm getting a bit more than expected, so naturally I said I should buy a new 2016 Legend Elite spinning rod. Her response....."no you have to buy a new shimano stradic first."

See?!?!?

Either way.....major gf points for telling me to BUY the 200$ reel....not, "no don't buy it...."

 

Props for her even knowing the names!  She would probably look great on a new boat too I bet.

She's well versed thanks to my ramblings. And lucky for me, and my wallet, she looks good any where haha

They do. My wife actually talked me into buying my boat because she thought my last one was too small. She even rode with me the 14 hour round trip to go get it. 

I already bought it once, but decided I wanted my 9" Slammer to have a new look. Thanks to @Doc-Drew, it now has a nice, new paint job that should get all the big girls attention.

Wow I have been on a tackle buying spree lately.  It's like the more the skiing season depresses me, the more the stoke just transfers over to fishing.  Should be able to finish up my new canoe's rod holders today too...  It's good to have high quality distractions when your luck is down.

going to steamboat springs a week from today, that's the only thing that's kept me from going buckwild on some purchases lately.... those lift tickets sure are pricey!!

2 weeks after that trip, headed back west to Las Vegas for the NCAA tournament and a bachelor party....  then i'm 100% on fishing along with all my purchases!

I hated to do it but I had a gift card to burn so I went BPS today and this is what came home with me. Well minus the Dora the Explorer fishing rod I bought for my granddaughter

You need to marry her!  It took 29 years for my wife to remember Abu.....

Well, you should reach a compromise and get both!

Waiting on the order to come in but I've got 20 skinny bear jigs, a quantum smoke, and a dobyns 765flip on its way. Along with all the other stuff I just bought.

I don't know what Brian puts in the Jack 'em Juice (and maybe I don't want to know), but it smells excellently nasty...

Was pretty quick getting them back in the bag after checking them out. 

Looking forward to trying em out.

Score from a local flea market today. $60!

20% off at bass pro right know ill be going back thursday for 2 more 

Bought my first Lucky Craft Pointer today. Man these things are works of art. Found a 78sp in Rainbow Trout at one of the local sporting goods stores on clearance, which will be perfect because ever reservoir around me is stocked with them

Tl;dr: LC pointers look just as good in person!

My family are a bunch of enablers

There's one younger niece, but she's not nearly as pretty, got a lot of miles on her.
