First shipment of various tackle ordered over the last couple of weeks. Super stoked about the OSP bag. 

First of my rods arrived. I have a Twin Power on its way from Japan for this bad boy. 

Add in the Patriarch 7.1 I purchased used a bit ago and the Supreme-30 my MIL gave me - and this is the (planned) sum total of my purchases this winter...rest of my money goes into the boat.

Fury 765FLIP

4ea RES in 1/2 oz

4ea Terminator 1/2 oz Swim Jigs

A new inflatable PFD

 

Ya, the bait-monkey is being held down by the boat-monkey.

New Diawa swimbait rod I grabbed in the TW sale. 
 

Put an ExoPT 300 reel on it with 25# Defier Armilo. 
 

Bait monkey had me swing by the local tackle shop today. 4 packs of 3/0 jungle flipping hooks, 1 pack of 3/16 sled heads, 1/8 & 1/4 stand up jig heads, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 flashy swimmer, some 1/32 Ned heads, 3 packs creature hawgs, 1 pack chigger craw, 2 packs magnum lizzards, 3 packs regular lizards, 1 pack speed worms, 3 packs local stick baits, 5 blade baits, 2 packs flipping tubes and some skirts.

I need BF / Cyber-Monday to be over!! I had my TW cart full again (well I still have, I just shot the window)

Too much temptation. 

Round two. First time I’ve ordered from 7 Palms but they had a ton of stock I couldn’t find elsewhere, prices were good, and shipping was reasonably fast all things considered. 
 

Also got in the Tequila Baccarac I ordered from TW during the sale. Have a Met DC on order for this. Hoping this rod can really perform well across this wide range of weights. 
 

And the Twin Power also showed up for my new Wind Buster. I will get this one out and christen it tomorrow on some light jerk baits.

That MB TB is a crazy rod.  It's fished everything I've thrown at it and it's been anywhere from good to great.  Boot tail swimbaits 5-7" both weedless and open hook anywhere from 3/8 - 1oz (lead only), 1/2-1oz spinnerbaits slow rolled, 6" bull shad // S Waver, and punching jigs used horizontally to pop/rip through deep weedbeds in the summer are currently my favorite uses.  Balances really well with a Bantam, so Met DC should be a great combo.  Only negatives are the strange small trigger that makes me palm differently and there's no 7'6" version to also buy.

Awesome to hear… That’s what I was shooting for, something super versatile. I’ll probably also throw some frogs and some mega-sized topwater crawlers on it as well. 

  It is also a great frog rod and I'm sure it'll be good for mega-crawlers, the nearest I've thrown is a WP190.  I junk fish most all the time, the TB is like a security blanket.  I feel like everything in between finesse and big glides are on the table.  Honestly, the big glides can be fished just fine on it, except my casting distance suffers with the short rod lob cast.  Same with heavy A-rigs. 

  Such a great and unique action rod, I think you'll love it.  I've landed more than a few 4lb+ bass on it and a couple 40"+ Northerns and the way it stays loaded yet full of power means they stay hooked up.  I don't think I'd ever get rid of it.

1 pack shaking squirrel watermelon red

2 packs trick worms watermelon slice

1 pack magnum finesse pumpkin 

3 20 packs of tubes, jc watermelon, wtrmrose, cprcan

1 pack 6" roboworms morning dawn 

1 pack 4.5 roboworms baitball 

1 pack 3" Ned worm Aaron's morning dawn

1 creek chub jointed pikie perch

2 packs tro Kar hooks.

Picked up quite a few things during the sales. I needed a reel with a higher gear ratio and did not want to break the bank, so I purchased the CR80. For such a cheap reel it feels solid! 
 

Im also really excited to try out the Gillys. I’ve taken a look them but they won’t get used until next spring. 

Berkley Maxscent Tubes have arrived.  Won't be using them until next May.

Are you opening a fishing store? ?

I would be shocked if those didn’t catch the heck out of them 

I honestly didn't even know Berkley made a maxscent tube until @FryDog62 told me about it this fall.  Obviously anything maxscent has been hard to come by so when the local retailer had some, I pounced even though I won't be fishing again until next May.

Got my goody box today, also have a spinning rod to wait for yet.

 

While I knew I ordered a bunch of spinnerbaits from TW I didn’t realize it was all spinnerbaits, except of course for the three spinnerbait trailer hooks lol.

I have enough stuff, I probably could open a small store lol. I keep collecting for some reason, oh look a new color gotta try that. Oh well could be doing worse things with my money I think ?.

If all you could do is open a small store, than you are not even close to having a problem.  I could stock a large store. At the rate I'm going I will be able to stock a Bass Pro, Cabelas, and a Walmart maybe two and I don't have a tackle problem.

Keeping with the spinnerbait theme, I grabbed 20 War Eagle finesse spins from the lurenet sale and some extra skirts. Already use the smoke purple on, the other color is new to me. Apparently I am all in on spins again. I was good and didn’t get too greedy for this sale. I will admit though I did get up early on Sunday to get my order in hoping they would have more than 1 spinnerbait on sale. 

Y’all are making me excited with all these spinnerbait purchases. I should be receiving my package today of Picasso spins and spinnerbait accessories

I received my order from C&C Custom Baits today. I'm sorry that this picture doesn't do the craftsmanship any justice. They nailed my descriptions of what I wanted. The matte black finish is sweet on the spinnerbait and shakeyheads. I'm pretty pumped to put these to use. Anyone want to guess what scenario I had in mind for most of these???

Well if you were fishing here with those you'd be catching a lot of northern pike.  Not sure if that's what you had in mind lol but it would be inevitable.

Picked up an Evergreen Combat Stick that I really didn't need.
