    This is an extension from the 'Picking Out New Baits' thread in which I said my wife and boy were bass bait shopping for my birthday.  They done good.

  • Latest addition  I like it ! Fish Hard A-Jay

Restocked my @Siebert Outdoors blue Craw dock rocker supply after I have been giving them to my buddies to try. I added on a random jig pack and got some interesting stuff to try.

Got some hokey looking swimbait in the mail (not from Siebert. They all just arrived on the same day).

Picked up a pack of black 3/16oz H2O Express tungsten bullet weights and a pack of sapphire blue Zoom Z Craws today after work. Put in an order to @Siebert Outdoors Friday. Eagerly awaiting its arrival. The sapphire blue Z Craws were the only thing in that color I could find that should be a good trailer for some of my Siebert order. Really would like to find any kind of craw and swimbait in tequila sunrise and plum/plum apple/plum crazy or any other plum variation. Those colors have been pretty good to me lately. ?

No wp’s and I got the last jackhammers In the store a different color then I wanted.they didn’t have anything I wanted so I only spent $62 lol. I’m not bashing them in any way. plenty happy with what I got. I was just so looking forward to this 40 minute trip eachway all week for them. This is what I got a few new toys.

I also traveled 40 mins to my BPS and was shocked they did not have WP75s.  Others have had for a few months.  My family gets me gift cards for holidays, so I will use them.  But will not shop there with my money - they seem to only push their house brands and inventory is always out of stock.  Even Dick's has the 75s online.

Copper blades don't work on a spinnerbait, just send that one to me and I'll send the silver bladed version I'm sure you meant to order :)

 

Yeah I was bummed,more about the Chatterbait though. I got the last one in the store. All the other colors were out of stock for a while according to the tags on the shelf. One of the workers said he’s never seen the wp’s and had no idea when they were gonna get them. The dicks near me doesn’t have them in stock either. I still love the store itself. I just really wanted those two things.

The Get Up & Go Travel Rod and Reel Collection.

 

It's all about Carry On.

Those reels are awesome looking, guess I've got to get out more as I don't know what they are but will start looking. As for travel rods, I've ditched most of the others in favor of five Bone Voyages and one Combat Beast, the 6'3" BFS will complete the collection. It will be hard to cut the cord from dragging around a seven foot plus rod tube but so much easier.

The reels are Quantum EXO PT 200's - Pretty sure they are no longer in production but can sometimes be found on amazon & ebay.  Work well for me hunting over-sized green bass south of the border as they have the capacity to hold a decent amount of 20 & 25 lb mono / fluorocarbon or 50 - 65lb braid.  100 & 150 size reels are just too small to allow for the distance casts I need to make.   The stock handle have all been replaced with HawgTech after market jobs. Super Sweet !  That company owner has been a bass resource member ( @South FLA ) for over 10 years and is a Site sponsor as well.  Super good guy and great to work with.

Man I would abosultely love one of those custom handles! Just wish they were a bit  more affordable, atleast now I know what I want for Christmas! ??

Thanks A-Jay! I'm in Palm Beach right near Mike at Hawgtech, have a few of his handles. My TranX 400 would occasionally kick into gear on a hard cast with the power handle if not paying attention to handle position, the Hawg handle cured that.

You're Welcome.

I switched out that power handle on my Tranx 300 HG to the Double paddle version for that very reason.

Scooped this up recently. Does this count as a tackle purchase? PT20pic.thumb.jpg.4df38b7e2ba8bae83c4e1f74967eb943.jpg

Counts in my book. Congrats on the new boat.

Going to try out the new Abu Garcia Revo IKE reel. I think I'm really going to like the handle on this thing.

I love that paint job, I've got a 1st gen Ike crank rod and I get comments on it everywhere. That huge handle with the EVA knobs is a nice touch.

Definitely a nice looking reel ??

 

Got my @Siebert Outdoors order in today! They look incredible! I'm headed to my store in Shreveport now to catch the company ride to West Monroe for their inventory. Glad I'm off tomorrow. I sure do hope I can get out to the lake tomorrow. Soooooooo looking forward to trying my new Shot Callers. Thanks Mike Siebert for an excellent job, the speedy service, quality jigs and just being an awesome friend! ?

Got a Z-Man Flip N Cast (California Craw 1/2oz) jig from the Outlet Bait and Tackle sale last week at a deep discount.  Threaded on a shortened Vilecraw (California 420) that came from their big clearance a few weeks ago.  

Can confirm Cali colors work in Michigan too.

I really like the gen 4 Abu revos for that reason. Big handles with big knobs. It seemed like a lot of reel manufactures got caught up making the smallest lightest reels possible. Kind of like the iPhone. They tried to make them as small and compact as possible. Now i have a big screen on my phone and big handles on my casting reels.

I fish with a friend from work on the same boat (except he has a 40hp) about every other weekend.  It's a great boat.  Enjoy.

Totally agree on the big handles/knobs, I would be interested in using it for a swimbait/glidebait set up. I haven't checked the finer specs but I wonder how much heavy line it could handle.

I think it count as tackle storage. I mean it has compartments right.
