Up to 3 Tatula SVs, a 2500 Tatula LT, 2 Falcon Bucoo SRs, a St. Croix 6' 10" MH legend glass cranking rod, and a $120 fishing skirts order now. Now all that is left is how to explain it all to my wife.

Fishing Skirts got me for a bit more than that with all of their jigs on fire sale right now.

I'm in the market for some worm bags, might pick up a couple of the Plano KVD bags in the new year.

My most recent purchase was a B Stock St. Croix Legend X from the factory.  Normally a $ 430.00 rod walked out the door for $ 308.00.  Neither the factory guy or I could find the "blemish" that made it a B Stock.

"Up to 3 Tatula SVs, a 2500 Tatula LT, 2 Falcon Bucoo SRs, a St. Croix 6' 10" MH legend glass cranking rod, and a $120 fishing skirts order now."

 

All i got was a left-handed Steez SV TWS 7.1  :( And then I spent the sale price savings on more stuff I didn't need: 7 Booyah spinnerbaits, a reel cover, t-shirt, 4 medium Norman and Rapala crankbaits, 2 Dark Sleepers and a pack of SuspendDots. I love sales.

 

 

"Now all that is left is how to explain it all to my wife."

 

I didn't tell mine. She'll see it when it gets here. My wife retired last month after two years of me nagging, but won't be taking her full SSA retirement for 18 months. I've been retired since 2012. I didn't have to explain anything to her... I just gave her $2000 to supplement her pension for December and another $1000 to buy Christmas presents.

My checkbook survived this year’s TW 20% sale unharmed.... 

 

Kittery Trading Post’s buy three, get one, however .... 

 

I have four new Megabass Onetens heading my way.

A few recent pickups...

Lucky Craft SKT120, S Waver 168 to replace the one I broke off on a hookset, an XPS knockoff version because why not, a Mega Dawg, an Imakatsu Big Bats (subsurface "hunting" crankbait) and a Megabass Gong Jr (goofy looking wake bait). Stoked on all of these! I think the last 2 might have started a dangerous JDM bait addiction...

10XD for reference on the size of that Lucky Craft.

I ended up with quite a haul from black friday.. To be honest, I'll have to wait until everything comes in to give a full list because I can't remember it all.. Good thing my wife loves me!

Okay, one more time.

 

I've been wanting a KGB Chad Shad for awhile now, and there was a drop and I just had a customer settle up on a big bait order, soooo, now I've got a 7" Winter Gold slow sink Chad Shad that should be in route before too long I hope. Hopefully I can keep it longer than I did my Donut Shad ?‍♂️

Nice. BPS is on my naughty list. They cancelled my black Friday order, a set of XPS Rattling Shad lipless crankbaits for $9.99 Lost the sale price and free shipping.

 

My cyber Monday haul is on the way, less than $100

 

Lew's TP1 7' medium spinning rod

8 packs of Berkley half head jigs 1/8 and 1/4 oz

3 packs of VMC Neko nail weights

Googan braid scissors (I like the neon green handle)

I did my order through Cabelas - they even gave me the Veteran's discount on top of the sale price and free shipping.

I really regret selling my South when I did. Hopefully I’ll get another some day 

Got a few swimbaits and a blade bait in the mail

today...

Stopped a BassPro to check out their reloading supplies and didn't see anything I use, so I headed down to the fishing section and walked out with a bag full of RageTails. I paid regular price, but it seems when they're on sale, I don't have the cash.

Shipment 2 - most of my TW order. Still waiting on the rod, and a couple things are back-ordered, but this is the majority of my purchasing this winter.

Got a few goodies that I needed to restock. I can't wait til summer comes to test the new frogs.

Couldn't pass these up. Allegedly outperform their price point, BP designed them, and the Tactical guys were impressed by the quality and action. That plus being on sale was enough for me to give them a shot.
