something i ordered a while ago finally complete, cant complain about the wait when this is the amazing work that comes out a custom perch shine glide 

Went by Wally World in Minden Saturday and picked up a Plano 3600 lure box(as you can see I've done packed it with all my jigs, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits in it...lol) for $2.88 on clearance, also got some Spiderwire EZ Fluoro 100% fluorocarbon 8lb 200 yards for $5.00 on clearance(figured I'd try it as a leader for that price, I don't care for it really) and some Eagle Claw Laser 1/8oz brass bullet weights on clearance for $2.88. Then Sunday on my way home from Minden stopped by work and picked up my new 6'6" MHF Lew's Laser TXS Speed Stick and Spool baitcaster(had my eye on it since before I started working there), some 40lb Sufix 832(already spooled on my new Lew's Laser TXS), a pack of Zoom junebug Ol' Monsters and an H2O Express Ultimate Jerk Shad in ghost shad color. My Lord I've seen and stocked a ton of tackle and baits. It's like being a kid in a candy store...lol. It takes a ton of strength to keep from spending all my check there ? I'm hoping to get to go fishing in the morning. I'm off tomorrow. Really wanna cast my new rod and reel and catch me a big un. I'll settle for a dink. Still looking for my first bass of the year. Sorry this was kinda long. Tight lines everyone! ?

Been checking out walmart lately for the clearance, I am not seeing it there yet.

 

Just need to get some good lines.

I have not. A generally stick to his frontier stories only, and have only read a few short stories. So that excludes both you mentioned, unfortunately. 

 

To Tame a Land, Kilkenny, and Hondo are the three I've probably read the most (multiple times each).

 

Have you read : Marine: the life of chesty puller

Picked up a vision 110+1 and vision 110jr plopper 110 never spent that much on a bait. But looking forward to throwing those jerkbaits

Keep your eye out for your local Wal-Mart clearance!!! Mine has inventory coming up in a week and they are clearancing tons of stuff. Just picked up 2 Berkley Lightning Rod Shock casting rods (1-7ft. MH and 1-6'6" M) for $9 each, they had all of their fishing baseball caps for $1 each so we got a ton of those. Got some Yum fish attractant in Shad and Crawfish scent for $1 each, a spool of Power Pro Super Slick 8 braid (65lb.) for $5. A bank umbrella/sun shade type thing for $13 and a 13x13 Ozark Trail instant up canopy for $15 (regular price of $88).

the bass pro spring fishing started today up here so i took advantage and got 5 bass pro planos which will likely be holding all of my soft plastics now. 4 spools of 832, 3 packs of snaps for building a swimbait box, 2 packs of speed shads, 2 warpigs, 1 pack of zoom trick worms and 1 pack of roboworms. I'm officially stocked for the season and my holidays are booked from opening weekend to july 8th

Stopped at F&S and DSG on the way home. F&S had the Duel baits on sale for $7.99 each which was cheap enough to want to try a couple. I’m a sucker for JDM stuff...

 

DSG had the 3 for 20 special on Brats/Ripstop/Shadow Raps. 

 

The monkey is satisfied...for now

It's always a good day when you pay $55.50 for all this (29 items) Thankful for the Walmart clearance section.

Holy smokes that’s a good deal! At the three I’ve stopped at here in WI recently only had a couple things with little to no discount. Other than I snagged some (4 packs)of 7” black (I know it’s not a great color, but what the heck, why not!) Powerworms for $1 each, and after contacting Berkely, they are eligible for the rebate. So, I paid a touch over $4 and am getting $10 back! I might keep a pack or two and will pass the others along to someone that can use them. I don’t have barely any gear myself, but I try to forward as much as I can back on to someone else when in situations like this where it doesn’t cost me anything, as I can’t afford to do it outright. You guys on this site have been extensively generous in information and helping out other anglers including me, so I want to try to pass that along as much as I can!

A good deal indeed. I'm just now getting to the point where I have sightly too much soft plastics. However, I'm always looking for deals on hard baits. 

Also, I think that you are extremely generous giving to others. In other news, I completely agree with you when you say that many people on this website have been generous with information. I just joined but I have used this website for information for years.

Most definitely! I myself can’t afford much at all, so I usually just drool when going through this thread haha! Maybe someday I can build up a little more inventory and try new techniques. Until then, I make due with what I’ve got and just enjoy being on the water.

 

Anyway, I saw that DSG has the brown craw colored 1/2oz Storm rockin shad lipless for $2.97 if anyone uses em!

Did that last year .....I bought like 12 rolls of Yo-Zuri line for like 3 bucks each.

Now, I need to refill them. They aren't carry it anymore

 

This year, I haven't seen any clearance at Walmart near my area.

I was kind of surprised by that.

I was at that point with plastics and I ended up finding some clear plastic containers with the double locking top at Costco. They are about the size of a shoe box and come in maybe a 5 pack.  I have about 4 of them filled by technique and just dip back in there when running low on the boat. This lets me buy in bulk and still keep everything organized. 

Bass pro order came in. I got some strike king menace grubs and zoom fat alberts. Berkley pitbull squarebills,Berkley half head ned rid heads and chompers shakey heads. Some big and finesse trd's and bitsy bug jigs.

Carbon light 2.0 7 ft 6 medium Spinning rod.Fantastic rod

 

Someone locally was selling a Curado 70 XG and a 7’ Veritas 2.0 M/F for $100 in perfect condition. I couldn’t pass it up. As soon as I handed over the money I dropped the reel in the parking lot and dinged it up!!! ?

NICE SCORE & I know the feeling !

Once at a tournament, I stepped on my favorite rod and broke the guide. I was like this !

Sorry to laugh. Reminded me when I got my brand new car and went to wipe some dust on the instrument cluster and scratched the clear plastic. 5 years later  I till haven't forgiven myself for that.

I haven’t seen any clearance here in WI either but I know what you mean. I bought a 100 dollar rod and felt like I mortgaged my house for it lol. I get a little jealous at everyone’s gear

Bought a vise and brass bobin at BPS for 25 bucks.

Boy did this make my life so much easier ! 

 

Did some work on 4/0 Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap Hooks with the mono (40lbs). 

 

I know its not perfect but it will do for now.

Just can't wait to pop those on their lips  

 

 

 

Keep telling myself I'm not going to buy anymore lures and then I run across a local K-mart going out of business and....

The list is 3 packs of Craw Fatties, 3 packs of Deuces, 6 packs of Matzuo Wide Gap 4/0 hooks and a spool of 10 lb trilene mono for $28 bucks. Everything was over 60% off marked price. 

Had a hunch Sunday and my wife and I made a trip to walmart and glad I did. I was in need of either 10 or 20 lb fireline (use both but prefer 10) and they had the 20lb test on clearance for 7 bucks a spool so I grabbed all 4 and will just use a leader with it. Really glad I found the line, because for some reason TW is super expensive for fireline. Also grabbed 2 3500 size planos for 2 bucks on clearance.

 

They also are carrying 5 packs of 3.75" rage swimmers in 3 colors for 4 bucks. It works out to be a penny more a bait then TW. I snagged a clear water color and a dirty water color too.

I know what you mean.  I bought a St. Croix Premier rod and still feel a little bit guilty that I didn't settle for the same power rated Ugly Stik with crooked guides.   My wife still hasn't noticed the new rod in the corner of my study with my other 2.  With luck, by the time she spots it, I can honestly say "Oh, that old thing... I've had it forever."

 

Stopped in Walmart yesterday... no sign of any clearance there.
