What's the blade made of?  Polycarbonate?

 

If its anything like the Zman Stealth Blade, it's not that impressive.  I could barely feel that thing vibrating when I used it.  The blade on those do at least look sizable.

It's a 'Soft' PVC Blade.

Nothing like the hard plastic offering on the Z-Man Stealth bait.

If the blade vibrates they should feel it but the soft blade is probably not making much 'sound'

as it strikes the head of the bait.

Something different - might actually be 'stealth.

Looking forward to finding out.

@A-Jay Come on now A-Jay lol. We've already accounted for all our holiday wallet damage. God d**n cobalt bluegill out of stock in 3/8 & 1/2. Was that you?   I have a serious tackle addiction problem that yields the same results year after year.........Staring at the boards of a bunch of good looking baits I'll never use and catching the same amount of fish.  I guess it's better than shooting speedballs or gambling. I'll try a gill in 1/4 oz. Either way, if going natural doesn't work in clear water, I'm relieved never need to buy again.

Ive been interested in the picasso rhino weedless ned head. Have you used this yet? What size hook would be best for a TRD or TicklerZ style ned?

Christmas weekend one is out of the way. 
 

Got two books and really excited about both. Lunker City had a great deal on Giant Bass. Got two more blade krates, and while they aren’t efficient size wise, the sleeves make it so easy to store baits vs the standard boxes. Will likely carry two for a week long vaca, as spinnerbaits are a huge part of my fishing approach.

 

got some more snaps and had a bunch of 6th sense baits set aside from the summer sale. 
 

So the Tempress pedestal seat. I was so torn on spending over 100 on this. Out of the box the padding is stout and I went and got it setup right away. This thing is super comfortable to sit on and the front being shaped the way it is vs the pointy of my old seat, I will actually lean on it more for stability in rough water. Can’t wait to get it out on the water to try. It’s kind of funny I am more excited about a seat than the tackle. 

Picked up a few SK Bottom Dweller spinnerbaits and some 1/2 oz SK Structure Jigs.

 

I’m way behind on my spends this year….but I’ve got plans to make up that deficit in 2022 ?

Drive south. Plymouth, MA, and Cape Cod (good SMB) are still wide open.

Nice.  I'm not sure why other folks aren't buying up the yo-zuri cranks that are on sale.  They are great baits with sharp hooks for a bargain price.

Smash-tech weedless shiner/perch, es flat gizzard shad. Thanks Santa!

I was looking at that same seat last night, haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Won’t get it out on the water till April or May so unfortunately I can’t give an on the water report for a while. 

I got ton of fun stuff for Christmas including 4 Megabass Vision 110s, 8 bags of soft plastic, 3 crankbaits,  hooks and sinkers, a pair NRS kayak bibs and dry boots, and a Stormr jacket to fish in..... but none of that was really the Bait Monkeys ?  fault.  This crazy purchase was though...

 

 

Who in their right mind spends $90 on pliers?

 

 

Someone who plans to use them for the next 50 plus years.

I think I could lock them up with rust in under 3 years 

I finally got a stainless hook remover for those days when the hemostat, needlenose and shark hook remover won't work for me. Good on the beach, too.

 

Not necessarily tackle but very related….picked up my first pair of Costa Blackfins.

 

 

I’ve been eyeing the Plano Edge stuff since it came out, and I finally gave in after finding some good deals on them on Amazon. I must say that I am truly impressed with this jig box. I love how easily I can see each individual jig now over my old system of them just being crammed on top of each other in my other boxes.
