At this point it would be easier to buy a portion of the company I think lol

Went to check the Walmart clearance and only got this blue dt4 and some containers for organization

Nice! If you are looking for a hook keeper, I just got the Cali Clip by Cali Coast Fishing. I have the Zodias 7' 2" H and the red clip fit perfectly.

Any pic where do you clip your? (Would the largest one fit into handle?) it might be better than hook a jig onto the reel or bottom guide. Anyway I start to love this rod even more when pair with bantam, don’t feel any tip heavy and balance well with bantam. I pair the rod and reel this morning and caught 2 decent size ones.

Well, @A-Jay, I order me a nice new Huk packable rain jacket. Thanks for the heads up on the sale!

Sweet ~ You're Welcome.

Let me know how you like it.

I'm shopping for a packable set for trips south of the border.

Currently, I'm without one & just get wet.

Will do! That was my reasoning as

well - just getting wet is getting old.

Picked up a pair of group 31 Duracell AGM batteries for the boat today (thanks for the heads up @Dirtyeggroll) Taking the set out of the Stratos and putting them into the johnboat, putting the new ones into the Stratos. No more pulling a battery out of my bass boat every time I want to take the johnboat somewhere. Plus I can run them parallel for day long trips. 

Been a while since I’ve been around but, been busy getting ready for spring.  About 3 weeks ago Walmart had the skeet Reese crank rods 50% off so I picked it up and paired it with a 5:4:1 phleuger supreme bait caster  

 

also so picked up some clacking raps.  Never used those before but, I am looking forward to them this spring

Picked up the zoom bundle on eBay for 12 bucks with free shipping from Hawaii.  I really wanted to try the caffeine shad.  It’s 1/2 and 1/2 of sealed and opened bags but, for the price gives me a opportunity to try trick worms, shaky worms, yum dingers/baby dingers, and yum craw chunks. 

 

Also up graded my fish finder to a Garmin Striker 4 cv which hasn’t arrived yet. It will be perfect for my 14 Tin boat.  When I  get a bigger boat next year I’ll use the unit for ice fishing

Nice Fish! Here you go James. I took a few pics for you. I put both black and red clips on so you can see where they fit. It comes with three sizes. There is a smaller yellow one too which is probably for a spinning rod.

 

The black clip did fit onto the handle. I think I might wind up using it that way. I haven't used it yet. It's still too cold here in Massachusetts but the water is starting to thaw around me.

Been wanting to add another Shimano Sedona 3000 spinning reel to my arsenal but I didn't want to spend $70 on a spinning reel. I have some older Sedonas that I bought for $25 when DSG was closing them out a few years ago that have served me just fine.

BPS has a Sedona/Fish Eagle combo on their 2 Day Hot Buys sale for $50. Someone gave me a $25 gift card recently for my birthday. I used that plus the $10 (off $30 purchase) coupon that was emailed to me. So my out of pocket cost for the reel (plus a rod) was $15 plus tax. Probably won't put the rod in my regular rotation though,  rather I'll let my grandson use it. 

 

Also picked up a 1/2 oz Dark Sleeper; something that I've been wanting to try out.
