Got a couple of Z Man Original Chatter Baits and waiting for a shipment of *** from TW. Also  some Biffle Bugs on order. I just can't stop ?

Black Bass on Nintendo and Super Black Bass on Super Nintendo are still to this day my favorite video games of all time. So much fun. 

I spent many cold, winter days playing Black Bass as a youngster. Good times. That 'dinging' sound of your reel's drag still keeps me up at night!

After sitting in customs for over a week, this JDM order finally arrived. (The snacks are a gift.)

I don't even want to know how much you paid for all of that!

Are JDM snacks any better than USDM snacks?

Some are, some make you think you've just been poisoned.

I love that all of us never like to disclose how much we spent, just how much we "saved". 

We're a sick bunch.

It has to let go now - I'm out of money for fishing purchases.

Hey, I got to explain it to my wife in a few days, the rest of you will just have to get in line.

I'm not shy about that. Got $1000 from the parents for Christmas...told it was to be 'fun' money only.

 

With my tackle, new rods/reels and a trailer for my canoe...it's all gone.

 

So $1000 spent this year.

Got some of my order today, still waiting on some Z-Man goodies and my finesse rod

 

My Academy order came in today. If you can't tell I like the chatter bait. I actually tried to place another order of Zako and razor shad. But, they must have sold out very quickly after being discounted. The sad part is how quickly those Zakos will go when you are on a good chatter bait bite.

Yeah, well I just got a special delivery of “I don’t want to see anymore boxes in the mail” from my wife today.

He might not - but the wife surely does.

Going to add a little flash to the jigs.

Let's see... since Christmas eve I've bought

 

12 Norman crankbaits

2 WEC cranks that cost the same as the normans... 

15 various topwaters 

1 shimano stradic 

1 Lews tournament mb

1 Falcon rod

1 Boyd Duckett rod

About 20 packs of plastic 

1 Navionics chip (US and Canada)

3 colors of JJs Magic.. Plano boxes

 

Most of it was on sale... it's almost like I'm ready to go fishing or something 

 

 

My rod came in on Tuesday, a couple of days earlier than expected. First time purchasing a rod online and not getting a chance to feel/inspect it out in store, but I had an idea what I was getting into. The packaging was next level, it came in a thick compressed corrugated tube (no fluting), bubble wrapped in 5 sections with a foam tip protector and plastic wrap. I bought it off Amazon.ca, I could tell Dobyns packaged the rod up from all the shipping labels. This gave me a lot of confidence in buying from Dobyns directly going forward. I wanted to share in case others were hesitant to buy online from Dobyns or Amazon. I'll take pics of the packaging, if anyone is interested. 

Completed my swimbait combo this week. Dobyns Fury 7'9 SB with the Quantum Monster that I picked up during the TW Christmas Sale. Spooled it with 65 lb Sufix 832 today. Pretty excited to take a couple trips to NoCal this year and test it out.

Added some square bills to round out my box, and spent some time organizing things while watching the snow melt. I didn't have any natural colors, so since I was already at cabelas.

 

 

And the top water box. Never tried a spook before, and grabbed the pop r just in case. 

 

 

Still have some LTB stuff I need to go through and organize, mostly soft plastics.
