I've been holding off the bait monkey but the reel monkey is tugging on my arm. Carbontex sheet to make some drag washers and a second spool for my Cardiff came a couple days ago. 

I may or may not have found Fenwick Aetos 4wts on sale for about $100....

I'm going to the movies with my son this evening, can already hear the bait monkey screaming from Gander Mountain across the street from the mall... Tomorrow is my anniversary, so I have a decision to make 

Finally came across a Mattlures Hardgill I had to pull the trigger on. Can't wait to get back out on the water!

 

Did a stop in at Academy and found these on the clearance rack. I couldn't pass up Mann's baby - minus for $2.98 and Xcaliburs for $1.98.  

The 2 bags of Sapphire Pit Boss I had previously ordered from Gander Mountain and picked them up while was in the area.

Nicely done I wouldn't have passed that deal up either.

I got in and out of Gander mountain last night with only a couple jointed jigs, a underspin and a package of T-stops... Since I only had ten minutes before the movie started I thought that was a good time to stop in. 

Shimano Stradic FK 2500. American Legacy has the reel on sale for $139. Went ahead and ordered one as that is nice price on that reel. Going to pair it with a ALX Zolo B Maestro spinning rod which never really had a good mate for it. Should see it in a week or so and will take some photos then.

Local flea market vendor has rapalas 4 for 10!!! And a huge bin of em. If I didn't have 150+ of them already I would have got more than what I did.. he had some older ones in there too clackin raps, and some glass fat raps are what I purchased 

Wal-Mart had all the gammy hooks for $.75!  I bought somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 packs.

 

3/0, 4/0, 5/0, 3/0 weighted --  all offset ewg, some super wire (? I think)

 

Got a SK buzz bait for $1 (Bleeding shad), a Hackney jig for $.75.  A bunch of stuff on clearance.  A local Facebook group had a bunch of people getting the KVD 1.5 squarebills for $1, they were all out.

 

Looks like they are not going to carry them and have added a ton of Mustad.

Dam, would of been sweet to come across a whole peg or two of 1.5 for a buck. Would of bought every one of em and at least sold the duplicates to my buddies for 3 bucks lol. Actually whenever I fill a bag of stuff I don't want anymore I take it to the lake and give it to the kids I come across till its gone. Makes me feel good to see how excited they get. Anywho I'm on my walk and was goin to wally world when done so I will c what they got.

Deer season ends Feb 10. Hope I can catch a few nice days to get on water after that. It's trap season on Gville. 

Ordering a NRX 872S to go w that new Stradic Ci4. Those plastic baits are from a local guy at tackle shop on Fork. Awesome colors smells like JJ's magic. Oh yea 2 of the jigs are the M pack swim jigs and the other 2 are Talons. Those Talons are really nice hand tied, gonna buy a bunch of those.

 

Went to my tackle shop today and I was looking at the clearance rod rack. 2 Crucial crc66mh and a Mbr7something GLoomis GL2 for $50 each. Monkey was on my back hard and I fought him for the whole 2 hours I was there.

 

I walked out empty handed and the whole drive home I was asking myself......did I win?

$50 for a GL2? I'd have jumped on that. I have a 853S JWR that gets used a as much as any other rod in my arsenal. They were in the $200 range when they came out.
