If your wife bought you all of that, then you are one lucky man.

she didn't just do it on a whim, she may have had a little assistance in the form of a list, but she hooked it up nonetheless! 

I did however snag that Pflueger President myself...  with the 40% off one item at Dick's plus a $10 thing i had for there i got the reel for $41 shipped.  perfect match for the daiwa ardito travel rod i have and i love me some Pflueger spinning reels!

A couple small jerkbaits from Japan.

 

Dang it, the bait monkey jumped up and bit me *total Forrest Gump reference*

 

 

And i still plan on posting pictures when it comes in.

While I probably deserved coal or walnuts in my Xmas stocking, Santa had other idea's.

@AndrewJ I love the Cabin Creek Spiders for river fishing here in PA. Those on a football head jig are killers. 

Got my first batch of Siebert jigs. Mostly morels, but wanted to try a couple of shot caller swim jigs to see how they compare to my current swim jig. They look very nice, expect I will be ordering more in the future once I deplete my stock some. 

Managed to get 30 items from TW for 85 bucks. Picked up 6 packs of the small keitech crazy flappers hoping for a good Ned bait on a river loaded with craws.

Trying fluoro again, sunline assassin, plus added 5 kahara frogs to make it an even $100

I tried the Assassin a couple seasons ago. It's a super tough Flouro. Does not break easily. If might go back to it on my swim jig rod.

I tie some of my swim jigs with that jig head and I love it. nice sharp hooks, the eyes did come off after awhile, but I was catching enough fish that it was to be expected at that point.

I have the 733 and the 734. I started with the 733 and it’s not ideal for 1/2oz jigs in my opinion hence me picking up the 734 too. 

 

I’m considering the zx with the Curado k as well for top water on my end- is that the setup you are going with?

I'm going to pair the Curado K with the ZX crankbait as a squarebill setup. I am going to put a BPS Pro Qualifier on the ZX Topwater rod.

How do you like the Siebert Morel heads? Have you had a chance to fish them? 

You see, I have some Ned rig tackle, but didn't give it the time I should have last season. So now I'm dedicated to giving it it's fair share this next year!

The one thing I can't help but notice, even without catching any big smallies on them, is the Shroomz jigs are sooooo flimsy. I mean, fine wire and finesse is one thing, but it seems like they're just plain old cheap.

I know Siebert quality is top notch so how do they seem to you? 

 

I've been keeping the Bait Monkey at bay better than ever this year too! So honestly, if those Morels are super awesome, I may have to add them to my current "on deck" order to Siebert asap!

They look great and the hooks look solid, but won't get to fish them until the May opener. Might have an oppurtunity if it warms up enough early I may give them a toss before the season closes. 

 

Since my my replies will get merged anyways, Cabela's started 50 buck free shipping today, and I picked up a Pluegar President 7' Medium Fast combo for 50. Was surprised that the combo still was covered by free shipping. Also grabbed two bags of the Mister Twister helgrammites and the small Cabela's advanced angler bag for my shore fishing 

How do I post pics, use to be able to do from phone but know it only allows 1.5mb pics. So I uploaded to photobucket click insert other media and copy link to url and it just posted the actual link not the photo?

I’ve got the monkey barricaded in a snow bank until *** has *** polymer bearing kits for its other baitcast reels (as promised this Spring).

You can download the Image Shrink Lite app from the Google Play Store and do it. That's the app I use.

got myself a little something to help with my organization of tackle 

My new Tatula SV with RCS carbon handle and SLP knobs. I think the lime green looks pretty slick with the purple highlights on the reel. Now for tuning and new bearings, think I might try ZPIs this time
