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

 

 

I learned to fish topwater baits with a Heddon Spook and once you get the cadence down its pretty easy.

An out of the blue garage sale score! When I'm driving by one and see even the slightest hint of fishing related stuff I'll stop. Tends to be total junk. Every now and again....I won't even say what I paid. Rediculous deal!

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.

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

 

 

That Vision 110 is no good. Send it to me and I'll dispose of it for you.

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

For this reason, I started having my deliveries to the local UPS store for pick up - empty it out in the back of my Jeep, throw the box in the trash outside the UPS store, go home as usual. Next time she leaves, place everything in the tackle box. Done.

 

Now you don’t think she does anything like this for her purchases do you?  I’m sure there wouldn’t be a shoe/makeup/clothes monkey for women would there??

I’m having stuff delivered to my work. And, yeah, there’s a handbag in the closet that cost more than most bass boats..........

Bait Monkey got me at Academy in the clearance section.... this is after Cabela’s got me earlier this week with a Casitas 151HG paired with a Tournament ZX Jerkbait/Topwater rod.

Blue, don't know if you crappie fish any, but these work great on a jig pole. I have a couple on my 11ft poles.

I just purchased a 5.3 to 1 KastKing Royal Legend Elite reel for $59.98 on Amazon, using a promotional code.

To go with a  speed demon pro crankbait rod I won in a December giveaway.

Their top of the line rod and reel for $59.98 is a pretty good deal. that is $129.00 off of the normal price.

sometimes things just work out.

Got a couple new little finesse cranks for the cold water months from overseas today. One Megabass, one Jackall, both for around $15 total, didn't figure it could hurt to try them.

What’d you snag those cranks for?

those underspins are nice for casting size 00, 0, and 1 mepps spinners for stream trout and pond panfish. 

Received a Kistler KLX 6’9” Rip and Crank yesterday. Ive been throwing shallow cranks on a terrible $30 Browning glass rod for the last 8 years. Seriously probably the worst rod I’ve ever owned. It was due for an upgrade. I’m also going to use the rod for chatterbaits, topwater, spinners, swim jigs, etc

I took advantage of the recent BPS sale. I needed a bright colored anglers jacket for those colder days on the kayak. The traps were on sale for $4.97 so they made good fillers to get the free shipping. Everyday low price at Walmart on the traps but BPS had a monster selection of colors too choose from.

Freebie from the baitmonkey today! I found it today floating at the lake. It still had some line attached to it so I cut it off. As I typed this out I came to the conclusion that I should have pulled in the line as there possibly could have been a rod and reel on the other end. Dang nammit!

Lucky Craft LC 1.5 spin. It just needs a quick cleaning as it's in really great shape. I thought it was some cheap lure when I 1st found it. 1st time I've ever even seen one. Didn't know it was actually a decent find till I googled it.

$4.97 is the regular price for ratl traps in the walmart stores around here. problem is they are usually sold out of the good colors. yesterday the local walmart had red eye shads on sale for $5.00.

Same over here. Not much of a color selection at my two local stores.

What color are the Pit Boss?

Big Texan, a favorite

I fell victim to the monkey as well yesterday while exploring my local BPS... Purchased a boat and motor cover.. a new 8' catfish rod reel combo, half dozen various rattle traps.   I've been holding out cause there is a boat and fishing show this weekend. 

The last of my finesse order came in, and I was taken back at how tiny the Nedz Lockz are. I've been using the power finesse zman shroomz with success, and the gents over at Tacital Bassin keep praising the better keeper and stouter hook. So I bought three packs, and a set of micro Jigs. I've got 3" pit bosses, zipper grubs and a variety of worms and of course the TRDs. Any trailer recommendations? Mini Creature styles? I think the Rage Menace Grub will definitely be an interesting option, same with the keitech spider. Obligatory pic.
