D**n you, Old Man Winter Monkey! 

Restocked my stock, and bought 2 piece (actually 3 piece) Kastking Perigee MH/ M Fast casting and spinning rods paired with a Kastking Stealth bc and Sharky II spinning reel for air travel and throw in the trunk storage. Also purchased a Plano Airliner telescoping travel tube (not in the pic). I'll give an update how these Kastking products hold up when I get back from Florida this summer.

TW to the rescue!

I've got quite the TW wishlist going and have to fight the urge to pull the trigger lol. I might break it into two orders, some of the stuff is backordered. 

@boostr aint playin’ ?

I just impulse bought a daiwa dxw walleye spinning rod from ALF.  It’s a ML/XF, but only rated for 1/16-1/8oz.  I have been looking for a light spinning rod for panfish jigs and trout worms, and the last one I bought, a g. loomis imx sjr 6400, is way way off on it’s rating, So I still need something to fill my ultralight panfish rod hole.  

 

It was only fifty bucks and I love the foregrip,  I thought I would take a chance on it. I figure one can never have too many spinning rods as loaners for my occasionally fishing friends.  

 

My Winter Buys now consist of a cheap fly rod to start out on, 3 Alabama Rigs, A double whopper plopper, Curado 200K, iBobber, Savage Gear Topwater Bat, Real Magic, Booyah Prank Lipped Popper and I’m waiting to handle a Dobyns Fury in store to decide if it’ll go with my Curado. I still need: 50# Braid, 600# braid for bowfishing, Swimbaits, Jerkbaits, maybe a light spinning combo, Hooks, Weights and beads. I might be broke but at least I won’t be hungry!

I broke mine into 3 purchases over the winter. This way you have something to look forward to more often.

Just couldn’t resist the bait monkey!!!! With all the great reviews on Dobyns Rods I just had to Join the club and get my first Dobyns rod! Only problem is I didn’t know which one t start with so I ordered 3!!!forst order was for the fr705cb then I had to order the next day the FR734 an FR735 Lol then I had to get some new reels and decided to go with the new Lew’s BB1  nd ordered some new lews custom speed shop knobs to match the rods turned out pretty slick when I put them on! And being a fan of the Winn handles on. My lews tp1 Rods I knew I’d like the Winn knobs as well. Don’t know why Lews didn’t decide to put them on all there reels! And kinda sucks that they only sell them as singles instead of pairs! But all in all I love the feel of the Winn texture knobs! Still waiting to find another reel I like might end up with another lews bb1 if I can get another good deal!!! Lol

Have you fished your furys yet? If so how do the my compare to your tp1. I have 3 tp1s and really like them but have heard nothing but good things about dobyns

Jerkbait time is about here! Couldn't fight the itch to feed my addition any longer. Jackall Rerange 130, Duo 110, and Duo Rozante 77 in route.

That special moment when the mailman comes ! 

Welp, pulled the trigger on that cart I had going in Tackle Warehouse. I'll just let the backordered stuff trickle in. Most of my purchases this year have been pretty planned out, although I shortened the timeline I had planned. So now barring any massive sale or need to replace something I should be good for a while. I'm all stocked up on line, clothing for summer (sun gear), new baits, replacement setups, etc. Only thing I could see myself caving on is a replacement frog setup if I start getting on a good frog bite.

Who knows...

Not really fishing tackle but something for the boat.  Saw this rebate/sale for a 2 bank charger in the Tracker Heritage thread and couldn't pass it up.

Hopefully they will put some good ones this year ...the last three didnt "excite" me 

Not really baitmonkey, but I did buy 2 inline spinners the other day since I watched someone tear them up with one last time I went fishing.

What do you know, there’s not really much if anything worth a second look.

Now - they do have some things that I like but gotta save the dough for an another NRX

Both fortunately and unfortunately nothing I ordered is part of that sale. 

Hit up the Susquehanna Fishing Tackle cabin fever sale. Everything was at least 10% off and they had great giveaways that included a Curado K. Unfortunately I didn't win anything but got some great deals on things I can't find at any of the local shops, Cabela's or BPS. 

I wanted to pick up some TRD tubes but they were all sold out. So I picked up the HogZ instead. I'm curious to see the difference between the TRD and Roboworms Ned worm. 

Birthday present. 

 

 

So I'm in Plattsburgh, NY for business... My hotel is pretty much in a shopping plaza... With an 24hr Waly World...

Before I left work Friday I bought a 3/8oz bluegill Z Man Elite chatterbait(lost it yesterday on Caddo Lake) and a bluegill H2O Express hollow body frog. I recently joined the B.A.S.S. and received my baits in the mail yesterday. A red craw Storm Arashi rattling square 3, a blue back chrome shad Livingston Lures Dive Master Jr., a green mist Berkley Juke 100 shallow and a special red craw Berkley Wild Thang 8.5. Wish they had came Friday so I could've tried them out on Caddo Lake yesterday. Can't wait to use them. ?
