No, it's the regular, I'm using it for terminal tackle. It wouldn't be the first time something was on sale right before or right after I got it, but I'm usually pretty good at finding good deals. I was hoping it would of been on sale for the classic, but only the other three were. $20, that would of been a great deal though.

 

I love the number of slots, but d**n that thing is pretty heavy by itself.

I have the regular terminal box, and you are correct they are heavy even before you put stuff in them.

I bought 10 of the booyah cranks on sale from Cabelas. 2 of each color.

That’s very valuable right now. Worth probably a Tatula ? Lol Anyhow going to Bass Pro tomorrow morning will let you all know what Bait Monkey made me do.

My new Falcon Expert rod setup with Daiwa Fuego CT.

As far as I can tell, these items are all absolute necessities. I can write you a note to that affect. ?

say hello to my “leettle fren” ?

I bought a few of these Lucky Craft Flat CB SR. I've never heard of them. And there doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there about them. But, they do look like a good spring time crank.

Shew, e-bay is my worst enemy/best friend. I have been getting some awesome deals on different lures on e-bay, the only problem is that after a bunch of awesome deals I have spent a bunch of money. Lol I always get pumped for crankin’ in the spring so I tend to go overboard on buying new ones. So far I have picked up the following:

River2Sea Biggie Smalls squarebill in a craw pattern-$7.69

A lot of 2 Strike king 4.0 squarebills for $10 One sexy Shad, one Bream

A lot of 2 Lucky Craft Flat D-20s in One-Four-One pattern for $12.56 (Shipping-$6.95)

Lucky Craft Lightening Pointer 110sp in MS American Shad $4.95 (Shipping-$2.00)

A lot of 2 Lucky Craft Flat SR Squarebills White & Gray $9.55 (Shipping $4.95) 

A lot of 2 Lucky Craft Flat MR in Aurora Bass $14.20 (Shipping $6.95) 


I’m a sucker for the flat lucky craft cranks, they flat out catch fish and I paid more for the Aurora Bass ones than I wanted but they are extremely hard to find. I’ve gotta get this bait monkey off my back or I may need a 2nd job soon!

Just saw this post after posting about the ones I just bought. Lol You will love those Flat Lucky Craft cranks. They are my favorites, hands down. 

I turned my monkey loose for a little while. He did good...

 

6 Luhr Jenson Brush Babies

2 Lunkerhunt Yappa Rat

1 Lunkerhunt Yappa Bug

Monkey made me buy these...couldn’t resist his grip.

Definitely my favorite lipless.  Just ordered a set of 62mm versions for hopping this spring.

Got two Fate Blacks for $40 each shipped. Definitely not as good as most of my other rods but for the price I paid they were a great deal. I got the 7'1 MH/F and it weighs 5.0 oz., so not the lightest rods and not the best balance and I can spot out a few small imperfections in the a couple of the guide wraps, but overall for $40, I'm pretty happy with them, they seem like good all around rods, but this Medium Heavy is pretty much a medium. No way I would pay $100 or even $75 for these rods.

Got the rest of my TW 25 Days sale order.  Finally picked up a Coastal SV (coolest reel I've ever seen and pairs PERFECTLY with my H3).  Also ordered a few things from Cabelas that should be coming soon.  Figured I'd do my part to help stimulate the economy during the corona crisis.

I came really close to purchasing an in shore but went with the standard Tatula 200 instead.   Blue velvet.

I really wanted to try the 100 size platform but was skeptical of the regular Tat 100 due to the price, reviews, and quailty of the original Tat CT (figured the 100 would be like it).  I also wanted the deeper spool and big handle.  The color is the icing on the cake!

The darn monkey got me again. I wasn’t happy with my top water setup so I decided to purchase a new one. Daiwa Tatula Elite paired with a Daiwa Tatula 100. I’ve found that I really like the actions on these Daiwa rods. I also picked up some more Z-man stuff with a reward that I had from Dick’s that was getting ready to expire.

I’ve actually been slowing down on tackle purchases. Except I did pick up 2 packs of banditi bugs.  One in summer craw and the other in okeechobee blue , I guess that’s what that color is.  everybody talks about googan either good or bad so decided to finally bite the bullet and see for my self. 
 

won 2 separate 2 packs of war eagle spinner baits on eBay.  I won them for about retail however, nobody really sells them up here.  eBay shipping is usually cheaper than buying them from a online store. The chartreuse/white is 3/4 and the black and gold blade is 3/8.  I’m kinda gitty to try these out.  They are very well made for a production lure.

I bought two of them Too off of eBay from a place in Alabama About a month ago .  Your right there is barely any info on them.  I only have 3 other flat sides square bills and these are my first lucky craft.  So decided why not
