This thread was on the second page?! Bait Monkey must have gone on vacation!

 

He must be staying somewhere near me though...

He made his way back to my place. I've experienced a brutal beatdown from him the past 24 hours and I'll be back with pics of more things than I needed when they arrive next week. 

I must say though, I underestimated that 8" WRS. Looking at the side view of them in pictures they don't look particularly bulky for their length. Let me tell you though that thing rivals an 8" hudd for shear bulk. It's deceptively wide. 

Well, here's the first delivery of my Black Friday in August binge. I finally started throwing jerkbaits this past year and figured it was about time to get a dedicated setup. Also, strangely never had a Wiggle Wart.

nice combo!!!

Well, as usual...  I go looking for one thing and talk myself into a completely different deal.  Bait Monkey strikes again!   

 

Was looking for a lighter swimbait rod that could also handle big jigs and the occasional inshore duty and came across the following gem:  a 7'11" Shimano Crucial (green blank, full cork) MH/F swimbait casting rod for $99 BNIP.  She's a smidge lighter than I was originally looking for, but 1-3oz is actually pretty ideal for what my actual (read: not internet delusions of grandeur) life intentions for this rod will call for and I know for a fact I love the Crucial handles and blanks.

 

I just got confirmation on shipping and it should even get here before I leave Sunday for a 3 day fishing trip out on horseneck at a friend's grandfathered-in shack out past the state beach.  No running water, no electricity, lots of beer and lots of boating, fires on the sand and my most pressing decision being which Alchemist or Lawson's brew to sip on next.  It's been years since a legit "me" vacation.  I cannot wait.  

 

 

Well...I got a $25 gift card from my manager today as thanks for presenting in our department's business review. Ended up at DSG to just "look". Walked out with 2 Yo Zuri Sashimi Shad, similar to these. 

 

2 for $5 bucks each.....why not? Though, Im hoping they perform as well as they are colored! 

You didn't spend the other 15? 

 

Shame on you!! Lol 

Stopped by Cabelas today to look for sales.

bought 3 Whopper Ploppers and of course had to have a new baitcasting combo for the whopper Ploppers.

ended up costing me $160.00.

Living 5 minutes from Cabelas can be expensive.

Yep! I'd have had it all spent and probably coming out of pocket to pay for some...lol!

@Siebert Outdoorsstrikes again! I love his jigs, I especially love the chatterbaits!

As soon as I have the extra cash and the patience to wait for something I've already paid for, I'm gonna order me some of Siebert Outdoors' jigs. Wanna get me some of those custom jigs.

For custom, it sure doesn't take him long to get them out. I get mine faster than I would if it was an amazon order. I think it was 5 or 6 days from the time I ordered until they were in the mailbox. 

 

Get a chatterbait to, while you're at it, those things are awesome!

That's really good to know. I'll check out the chatterbaits as well. 

The "Lucky" part of my August binge (huge discount)...

 

 

 

 

 

not exactly tackle, but a bait monkey purchase nonetheless....

I hadn't seen one in person and was pretty surprised when I opened it up. Basically a bluegill swimbait with a lip... really curious to feel how it cranks in.

Post some screen shots when you get it dialed in. I'm thinking about getting a couple in the near future.

Placed an order on DSG during their "buy 4 get 2 free" and "$20 off $100 purchase" sales a few days ago. Some baits have started to trickle in. Have never thrown crankbaits and I figured I'd give it a shot. Hope I get the rest of my order soon.

 

 

Never thrown a crankbait!

 

Aw man, you're in for a good time.

Got an Okuma Helios TCS 8.1 and one of these that should arrive early next week
