This may seem like a simple jerk bait. However, I have ordered one of these on Amazon every spring for the past 3 years. The first two years, they never arrived and I eventually got a refund. This year, it actually shipped, but got lost after leaving Texas. Luckily, I got an email letting me get a replacement. Finally, after 3 years of waiting, i have finally received one.

There’s a blue million of those hanging in every store ‘round here

As long as it took to ship last time, I'd go ahead and order a few more if it was me.

I’ll pick up a few more, but think I should be focusing on silent jerkbaits. I didn’t know these have beads.

Trying out some new soft plastics. They look good. Seems like they’ll Be fairly durable. The fat finesse worm looks just the right size. 

If you use a screw lock hook the Swammers last quite a while. I've had a few go 10-15 bass.

Sweet, good to know thanks. 

Latest and one of my last purchases for a while.  I’m proud of this one.  This is a special mate box used for storing stick baits.  It is 8 inches tall .  Kinda expensive at 70 bucks shipped but, I think worth the investment.  
 

Obviously if I was fishing on some one else’s boat I wouldn’t bring it but, pick out what I thought I need. First 5 rows are for walleye or trout trolling with some Husky jerks, orginally rapala’s, Deep down huskies, deep bandits, rouges ( jerk bait or trolling).  Middle section  is my bass jerk baits ( less than what I thought I had) , 3rd section Shad raps ( bass and trolling), and 4th flicker Shad ( bass and trolling. No more hook tangles or baits getting knocked around. I cleared out 4 Plano boxes of stick baits.  Just under 50% full 

Forgot about these.  First time buying anything from reaction innovation.  For spring jig fishing  picked up some smallie beavers in penetration and tramp stamp.  When trying new plastic I like to buy a dark and light color.  Tramp stamp definitely looked lighter in the photo, guess not 

 

I need to get out and fish.  Couldn’t this weekend as the truck wasn’t done.  Should be done tommrow.  Sunday ill take the boat and I’ll drop the wife and kid off and her moms while, I fish 

One of 2 non chain tackle shops locally going out of business, so I made one last trek. 

 

Never fished a Vision 110 or any spro cranks. I'm looking for a smaller crank for smallmouth in clear water situations that casts far. Hope these work!

 

Also never tried the Berkley flat worm. They don't look special, but everyone says they work.

Looks kinda like a muskie box. The compartments aren’t quite as big though.

That is the next size up on the drop down menu when I ordered this .  You can get these for spoons as well smaller and larger stick baits.

Does anyone else buy a couple of the Walmart special Strike King Pro Model jigs every time they walk through Walmart? Ugh. I cant resist. 

How does only needing one or two more things to be set for the season keep turning into this?!?!

I’m glad it’s not just me, there pb&j colored spinnerbaits for $1.00 were my go to last year.

The PB&J football jig and Texas Craw Pro model are my heavy hitters right now.  For like $3 with a couple of Rage Craws you cannot beat them. 

I can't believe how expensive fishing stuff is, $38 dollars for 5 things.  My mom was shopping with me, so I didn't spend as much as I usually would...  She saved me from that stinkin monkey.

I think that's BPS in general. A pack of Senkos was like $9 last time I was there. Your money will go a lot further other places.

I went to BPS this week (last day of spring classic) to take advantage of the rod & reel trade in plus I had a gift card from Christmas. I thought some of the prices and even sale prices seemed a little high but then I checked Dicks sporting goods website and noticed their spring sale prices are also pretty high compared to past 2-3 years. I’ll purchase my lure/ terminal tackle products at one of my local tackle shops instead. 

Needed grease for annual baitcaster servicing and had a $25 gift card which of course means you have to spend $75 to get free shipping.  Think it is the 14th tackle delivery since Nov...and ice out was a whopping 2 days ago.

I know I can find everything I need at BPS/Cabelas, and I don't have to hunt around for it.  I live so close to Cabelas it just makes sense to go there.  I don't do a lot of online shopping either.

Also, got my first JackHammer, in green pumpkin shad!!!  Shipped from amazon but the package was from discount tackle. 

I went a little overboard today!  Bought two Cashion ICON rods and Shimano SLX reel and some tackle!  That one hurt when swiping the card!  ?

The really good purchases tend to sting a little!

Decided it was time for a new reel for my jerk bait setup. Went with the JDM Tatula SV. I like how they still use the color coding for the gear ratio that the US version ditched with the new SV’s

Can never have too many Jack Hammers right??? ??‍♂️?‍♂️
