Some junk bought within the last couple months.  TW Black Friday sale, Academy online clearance, and Bayou Bug Jig sale. Also got a bunch of Trilene Fluoro.  I'm thinking a new Levante and Tatula 100 are in my near future...

My mom just saw this thread and said, "These people should be giving all that money to orphans in Africa or something." ?

I posted the deal on the BR Sale thread.  Everything on the site was 50% off! Paid $1.75 for swim jigs, $2.00 for the 3/4 oz flipping/casting jigs, and like $0.50 - $0.65 each for the swing heads.

Please get the levante. So I don’t have to. And then tell me all about it.

We had a few nights in the teens last week, so lots of lakes were still skating rinks around here yesterday. Got an update that one close by was open, so I organized a wading session with some pals. 37 degree water doesn't hurt as bad after you've been shelved for a while! But first I needed some tungsten. On my way to the store I told myself " Phish, you're not buying anything except tungsten". As fate would have it those tricksters at Dix had put out a bin of Duel Hardcore baits at blowout prices! They must've spotted me waddling in from the parking lot wearing my "I'm only going to buy tungsten face" then made that sale pronto. Next thing you know...I was all in at that point so the DT6 and spinnerbait seemed perfectly reasonable. Yes?

I've gone from just having a few, because I didn't have much luck with them in the past, to buying a bunch of them. I just hadn't put in the work with them that I should've. But my spidey sense tells me they'll be a hit soon! But spidey has been wrong in the past. Either way I'm gonna commit to them now.

Didn't really need it, but couldn't pass up on a Okuma Helios 7' 6" H/F for $90. Going to have an Okuma Helios SX reel on it for jigs ? Going to be a sweet looking combo.

couldn't pass up on some new swimbaits got a limited edition colour jointed claw 178 and a zonka gill IJnUNNOZVLl5aey92TSMuSUB5pTPbB6jcU1XJ3ZoLIOCa14m75Xg0mIfjLtT7EH2tGwdtzMexDNx9g1xfcdPSS5EAKl0jaUsFPAQx680yMdcW6WduYErl3xi6WuGchV2kjqdYJIJZew7JyVQo9NBGwRjDGwxk5aC3MIDotBcgCzys9iucA-1GvluZPTfWMWOfpxELtK3i-Ot9r6FwrvlE0AO2qaNADGFTzKgZqY4Xvp4TxBhICxljrwVjiLC8Ti-6AJ97UqIXsxWGWxRHUauCCZY2YoHc8mUDM7wV6g2WHnHb4XKj_T7KZLFzEcRDfiU2F2a5Xqk4GD2J6a60Wq4pVSthAdVaED3_fFcaA6-hJ-bEt8nNqwJRXzwtGtrrVk7CckMS8OYCHOxzt_Dz8_rljUKiZhU8I4tV5ixf2X1vA2YaofN4IrhRqD9wLOAo-OzPhiV2R-UkX-FzHxCFOuVQWdS-w-RCvJ1_HSIrq4qVrk-boYRyeYGwmEg1MGvNR7G-k9zZWNWy_Hku8GmmyadRvvY_Y6QhKeujQLbVBv1FZEn34VRlntaUX4LTF00nvcLEmb8EL3J7DNZS-6V6G6HMmVCmJdpBuk_FUf2bBHFd7dbltgwqd49sXTxodzfDLgNqfvNuBpJwyVJ6QitolDVQVbqU5kvQM4=w1636-h920-no

Added a small assorment of the new Megabass silent Sonicside squarebill to the arsenal.

Pic doesn't do them justice - very nice looking baits.

Expecting big things from that Perch pattern.

Also kicked it up a notch with a couple of 3/4 oz Jackhammers.

Bait monkey gave me a thumbs-up.

Nice stuff, I can’t walk by the megabass stuff in the store. Megabass really does catch fishermen just as good as it catches fish, maybe better. 

Restocking keitechs plus a new "everything finesse" rod:

Nice re-up, what color are those? Also, what color is your main body of water?

I picked up a perch Sonicside a few weeks ago and it was exactly what I was hoping that it wouldn't be. An impressive bait that I would want to fill an entire plano box up with. 

 

Very impressed with them, and the perch color is versatile enough that it could be a craw imitator too.

I bought a new reel yesterday during the ebay sale—with no rod to pit it on. I don’t know what is wrong with me. ?

 

I keep telling myself that I am going to get rid of some of my gear so that I have fewer setups, but of better quality. The problem is I never sale the stuff I do have. Just keep adding more. Guess it’s time to look for a new rod.

I either bought mine from The Tackle Trap or eBay. There are plenty of online stores that have them in stock though.

 All of them are Bluegill Flash with the exception of the two 4.8 ones on the bottom left wich are Sexy Shad (these 2 packs are for my A-rigs where i like the big one to be from a diferent color so it can stand out from the decoys).

 Pretty much almost all of my local lakes and ponds have clear water with just a very few ones with more stained, greenish water.

Are those Sling Bladez spinnerbaits good? I've been thinking about stocking up on those.
