Ahhhh, the monkey is a devil. It’s not like I needed more baits, but they just keep showing up. And then there was a sign confirming it...

Couldn't decide on a brand of jerkbaits??

I've got a bit left of the Yule Check from dad...but I need to save enough to re-register the canoe (3 year sticker expires end of the month) and a license with trout stamp in the spring (go on sale March 1)

Dude - what's really in danger is my wallet. This fall/winter has been a buying spree.

5 new reels

5 new rods

Tons of tackle

Went from 2 bags (1-3600, 1-3700) to 2 of each size.

 

The bait monkey has been mugging me every time I turn around.

Hahaha, I’m trying. It’s the fish changing their mind which one they want from day to day, if not every couple of hours ?

 

 

you can't go wrong trying different brands - just don't mix different brands of soft baits together in your tackle trays.  The different plasticizers used in different formulations often cause the different brands of soft baits to melt together if they're touching.  

Haven't been buying any new tackle but luremaking supplies are arriving all the time. Two days ago I received 6k jig hooks from Shorty's so I have some work to do.

Bought this today, it’s so beautiful I have to post it. 

Merry Christmas to........ me! 

New ride for the K 300. Dobyn's Bucca Bullshad 836SB.

I've been loading up on hard-core YGK and Duel braids from Japan, and studying their stream trout plugs.  

Our winters on the coast consist of two things - imitating 6" mullet for a few big trout with Corky's 7/8-oz neutral-density soft "balloon" twitchbait,

and reds and many pan size trout imitating glass minnows - go-to lure is YoZuri Pins minnow S.  

My last order included a gang of 35 mm crankbaits to throw on the salty UL rockfish rod this winter, same 1/16 oz weight as 50 mm Pins S, but smaller overall, and I like the reported slow retrieve action, because reds and trout sip tiny glass minnows.  

If needed, will swap the hooks with #6 Owner single plug hooks.  

Santa flies nonstop from Shennan-Shi to Memphis, changes planes, then picks up a Fed-Ex truck at the airport.  

I think my Corkys lure could eat one of these...

Look like the same colored blank as the Kaden series!  Me likey!

Just a few items for Christmas and a couple buried underneath. With the extra rod holder I can now have 7 rods on the front deck, but still short of what @MN Fisher can carry in his canoe lol. I just can’t give up any other vertical space without limiting my cast angles too much. Been a great Christmas so far. Also got some Liquid Mayhem scent and plastics too.

Need to trade in that space-limited thing for a canoe then.

A lead free jig haul from Siebert, tungsten button heads and button head offsets. Also some spinnerbaits. From an eBay seller also trying some tin/bismuth Ned heads.

I have 4 of these coming this Weds. I’ve never had a diawa bc before. I’ve always had old shimanos 

It has TWS on it. Does it stand for Tackle Warehouse Sports?

Yesterday I ordered a Daiwa Revros LT2000 and a Fenwick HMX 70M-FS for another finesse rig. 
 

Today I stopped at WM and somehow...somehow...I ended (started) up in the fishing section. Bought some clearance Trilene XL 6 lb mono and some Strike King Ned rig kits (Rage Cut R worm and Rage Ned Bug) in Crawdaddy. 

Was kind of expecting to see more Christmas gifts on here. Where are they lol.

I haven't bought anything since I stopped catching bass, but I think I need a frog rod, or maybe a general purpose heavy rod as I don't own one yet.

 

Bait Monkey's working on it for me.

 

Actually though I am building a bed for my minivan so I can make multi-day trips. Probably get a fridge, and I dunno what else, I'll see if the Monkey can help with that too.

 

To stay on topic - last purchase was an Ugly Stik Elite (light) and a Trion reel. Wanna try some creek fishing.

"Was kind of expecting to see more Christmas gifts on here. Where are they lol."

 

 

I bought a Garmin Vivid 9sv, mostly because my Lowrance Elite 5 HDI started freezing regularly and doing things like reading 124 feet in 10 feet of water. It's a Christmas present because my wife said, "Can I give you that for Christmas?"

Santa Monkey delivered today.  I am still waiting on some Megabass Vision 110's, 2 Magdraft Swimbaits, a Vatalion and a Sonic Side crankbait, a spool of 15lb Daiwa FC, 6 packs of Senko's and a St. Croix Mojo Yak Rod.  Also, I already put away over half of my Siebert's order (I can't plug these guys enough, great jigs).  I got lucky on the Quantum reels ($61 on the KVD Smoke and $90 on the Tour S3).  One more rod before spring and the monkey is done for the year (not really).
