I work at a retail store part time and we get in assorted products from Eagle Claw from time to time that are regular products with a different sticker over the regular upc. Well, we got in a batch of SINKER-1 assortments. So I cleaned out the 8 packages of 79-cent tungsten worm weights. 

I got Skirt hub weights:

2 packs of 1/4 oz (2 per)

1 pack of 3/8 (2 per)

1 packs 1.2 oz (2 per)

2 pack 3/4 oz (1)

 

and 2 packs of 1 oz regular flipping weights (2 per)

 

I got like 8 ounces of tungsten for like 7 bucks, so that was a good day at work

I picked up 5 packs of Strike King 1/2 oz Spin heads for 3 bucks each, bought all of them from Wally World!

one of these is not so much a purchase but i traded a couple baits on another forum for a robs swimbait. i also placed a small order on tackle warehouse for the abt wagtail since it was under $40, and some more booty shakers since they we're so cheap. have to say i love the swim on these jenkos

 

 

Some finesse Crankbaits 

Told my wife I was just going in to get 1 Mepps comet minnow to fish for trout and I ended up buying a few Rapala lipless crankbaits, Some terminator football jigs, crawfish trailers, and a big musky spinner.

Then I broke the tip off my St Croix Bass X medium power spinning rod so I sent it off to St Croix and have a medium/heavy casting rod coming back. So of course I had to order a Daiwa Tatula CT to go with it right away. If I don’t post for a while after my wife sees it all you know what happened ?

Just bought the HUK all weather rain suit from optics planet. Coupon code WORK7 for an extra 5% off

Ordered these for my birthday in december.  Love the shad paint.  The crappie is a little more blue than I wanted.

I'm right there with you.  My wife still hasn't noticed that there are 3 rods in my study where there used to be only 2 (new one is a St. Croix Premier with Tatula CT 100 6.3:1).  I'm hoping that by the time she spots it, I can honestly say "That one?  I've had it for ages!"  With luck, she'll pretend to believe me. 

A few warm days in the Omaha area "forced" me to place a tackle/equipment order.  When it was all said and done, ended up with a Shimano Stradic ci4+, St. Croix Legend X spinning rod, and a nice supply of finesse baits. Looking forward to fishing this year.

The CT’s can be found for much less if you do some digging. 

I just bought 3 110 jackall rerange jerkbaits and 3 in the 130 size. I have high hopes for them

I got mine for like 70 bucks last year. It's by far my favorite reel (granted I don't ever spend more than 200 on a reel). I'm wishing now I ordered 3 or 4 at that price.

Don't tell the bait monkey lol, I'm a slight push away from replacing like 3 reels lol. There's nothing wrong with them I just like the CT more.

With the 15% ebay code right right now, I just picked up a CT Type-R for $85. Can’t beat it. I’m going to try them out for my lighter inshore fishing this year. We’ll see how they hold up in the salt.

LOL, Sorry?? The BaitMonkey has done work on me this winter. I just need this weather to start warming up so I can start fishing and not have all this free time looking at gear.

 

I really like how the CT palms. I was considering the Type HD for the larger capacity but I have a Tranx for my heavier duty stuff. I’ll be using the CT for bucktailing fluke and casting light plastics in shallower water.

I have the HD for one of my swimbait setups (1-4oz treble baits) and it is really nice. It's not really that big I would use it on something like a frog or flipping rod for sure. 

 

Tatula 7'4" and Type R 100XS in my Ebay cart right now...I know I shouldn't but the whole combo whispering in my ear (haaaallllfff oooffffff)

 

 

*Edit, I just realized I have a 100 dollar visa card leftover from something laying around. Yup, this is gonna happen. At least I already have line lol.
