First time ever in a cabelas today. Sheesh they’ve got some stuff!!!! I bought a few things I can’t quite find at home, and then of course a couple rapalas. Can y’all tell I like orange belly lures? Ignore the wife’s lantern lights and ornament 
 

the guy pictured designed this jerkbait. He swore to me its great for smallies in the river. So i bought 2 in case i lose one.

Did he throw in roof racks?

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. 

 

That looks like an Edge box I'd like. Not sure about some of the others.

There's an 18 inch (at least) jerk bait looking thing hanging above the cash register in a Fish n Chips place by my house. Thought about offering the guy money so I could hang it up. I've always wondered if it was real, I thought it was just a sales prop.

Last Christmas post. Added the Lucas on Bass to my bookshelf and the Solunar tables book, will reference to see if the hot bite of the day matches the book, and some Musky books. Included a grab of my bookshelf, it is fairly solid and got some based on suggestions from this site. 
 

Also got some 1/4 and 1/8 ounce size Jades Jigs mushroom heads to fish Ned baits around vertical cover under windy conditions when true Ned rigs get blown off the cover and out of the strike zone. 

Let's GOOOOOOOooooo...

 

 

@cgolf Did you read any of those yet, or just ordered them?  Looks like a great reading list to me ...

Finally got time to take my daughter out Christmas shopping for me lol, a couple jerkbaits some cranks and a few lipless, last but not least some plastics. I have been wanting to try out the googan scout jerkbait for about a year now, saw a kit at dicks that came with both the full size and a Jr so I figured why not. They had a sale buy one kit and get on 50% off. Then we stopped at Ollie's and I grabbed some lucky craft lures for $7 a piece so not too bad. My jerkbait box is slowly getting there, some megabass, jackal, spro, Berkley, yo zuri, duo realis, lucky craft, Rapala and probably something else I can not remember lol.

Read a little over half the books on the bookshelf. I think I got 6 new ones this year I need to work in between the library books the wife gets for me 

 

Nice lipless box!

Dude, I'm always looking for good bass fishing' books, and these look like a great place to start.  Thanks for the post!

Few nice rods at Sierra today

I bought a gift card earlier in the week to stack some additional savings on the 25 days of Christmas sale at TW. I fish small ponds exclusively so dipping my foot with wakebaits. I can NEVER fish standard cranks so hoping that one of the 3-4 options I purchased here will be able to stay just sub surface. Love the quiver worms at this price...really nice for Neko rigging in the winter. Never used Tatsu before but winter is upon us so might as well use the best...hoping it works well for drop shot leaders. 6lb is the lightest I've ever purchased.

Kind of torn on posting this, but it might be my last purchase of Baby Menace and Menace grubs, 24 total packs. TW sale price was pretty good and the 1/4 oz firetiger RES was on close out so I grabbed 4 since it has been a good color for me. 
 

trying another 6th sense lipless, some spinnerbait components and some smallie smashers. 

Bought two jerkbait lots for a good deal, it’s fun because I never would have picked some of these colors but in person they look amazing and I’m so pumped to use them. Figured out the pointer 78s I love so much are actually pointer 95s I believe, I kept thinking people were sending me 65s by mistake ? live and learn I guess, I’m really pumped to fish the slender pointers more, already caught a couple on them and they look great in the water.

i knew taking a lap around BPS during lunch wasn't a good idea. 

 

First half of latest TW order. This is split between 3 of us I’m not that rich ?

lol, that’s like $150 in line alone

Some more goodies from the TW sales

 

 

 

And some stuff from Japan

 

 

Got this from Japan Lure Shop as well. Have not yet had a chance to get it out but man is it a thing of beauty!
 

@JWall14, update on those damiki armor shad, they’ve been getting the job done like you said they would. Got a big smallie with one today, I’ve also gotten a few drum, some largemouth and spots, a crappie, and some herring

Are you fishing them like a Damiki rig? Sorry all, I know this question isn’t about showing off what I just bought. Just curious how you’re using them.

I don’t quite use the proper jig heads and I cast it around instead of dropping it straight down . Just kind of pendulum it back to the boat like crappie fishing 

TW just got me for a Kaden 713C. Was done buying rods this year… monkey wins again!

Well I decided this is the year I’m finally going to try BFS and see what it’s all about. I got the first couple of my orders in. I have to say I’m pretty impressed with this Tsurinoya rod for the money. It’s not a brand I ever would have looked at if I wasn’t looking at BFS stuff, but it’s actually built very well, and uses all Fuji components. 

Great stuff everyone. Lots of cool new gear. 

Upgrade complete...

I don’t think I knew there was an SLX BFS?? Thought they just had the MGL 70
