    This is an extension from the 'Picking Out New Baits' thread in which I said my wife and boy were bass bait shopping for my birthday.  They done good.

Got our property taxes back and the wife said "How about $100 for each of us from it?"

 

So perusing about and ordered 3 packs of Zoom Fluke Tail Goby baits - 3 colors. Should have them by Friday.

Holy cow that is a pristine looking reel if I ever saw one

Another part of the $100 the wife let me have.

New color Chigger Craw, Pit Boss and Super Fluke to add to colors I already have. Three colors of Brush Hogs - they were out of one I wanted.  Couple weights of shaky heads and some Gamy hooks too. Also a couple more 3607 boxes - I put my plastics in those, label what type, then the boxes go in either my Advanced Angler bag or my Plano Weekender.

I blame @Dirtyeggroll for this purchase. If he'd stop catching big fish on his, I wouldn't have had to buy one.

Yeah, you aren't convincing me that this isn't a live fish.

That's really cool. Better than rapala too. Must be good.

Needed to restock on some jigs and stuff.  But the real reason for the post, I found some original Flappin Hogs.  I found them in a clearance bin at a local shop.  They had a few more bags but I don't use these very often.  Notice there is no tag in lower corner of the bag.  I thought it was strange but I think these maybe prototypes or something.  The tails are just slightly different from the new version and the original.

Since I already had enough swimbaits for this fall/winter the bait monkey felt it was necessary to convince me I needed more...

Busted my Pflueger Supreme XT last week. I actually decided to downgrade and I think I’ll be okay with that decision! My President XT came in today and I got to say I’m impressed. 80$ less than my supreme xt and it feels just as great out of the box. Sure the drag isn’t as smooth but for the price I paid I’m very happy. I especially like how light the reel is and it’s what drove me to choose it over other similar reels like a Sedona or the regular President. Gonna test it out tomorrow morning on some shallow water largies. 
 

Anyone have any experience with this reel? I’ve heard that the knob on the handle is prone to falling off. Any truth?

I have a size 25 XT I use for river walleye and smallmouth.  No complaints here, I haven't had any handle issues with mine.

I have not fed the monkey (should that be capitalized?) in some time. I hope this was a worthy sacrifice for fall bass.
