@whitwolf

 

where did you get that kind of quantity of those?

Received two packages of goodies yesterday.  Up first is my Digitaka order;  2 Tatula 80's, 4 slp 'power round' cork knobs, and 7 Deps 'B Custom' bladed jigs.  Daiwa's new Hyperdrive gearing will widen your eyes when you turn the handle....reels feel crazy smooth.

 

 

Next is my Sierra Trading order.  I ordeted some sunglasses(Revos...not pictured), 8 bags of Jackal Yammyfish, 2 bags 6" 13 fishing bubble butt worms, 2 KVD sexy frogs, and 4 Daiwa TD Minnows.

 

Not exactly tackle, but definitely for fishing. These things are pretty sweet.

Reel monkey got me, one new bantam mgl 150hg A reel. I can’t wait to use it ?

I believe you'll love it! I honestly think that is one of the absolute best reels out there. I have two 20 Metaniums also. It is hard to tell the difference between the two performance wise.

Thank you, Yeah I have 3 20 metaniums also, I just really wanted to try the new bantam. Next reel on my radar is the new alderbaren bfs. I just don’t know exactly what place to order it from yet.

@NavyVet1204, these were sold pre-classic by Reaction Innovations.  

 

If you go to Tackle Trap, they have them for sale.

Picked up a Wilderness Systems HD Kayak cart for self deploying my Recon 120 HD, added a YakAttack Zooka 2 rod holder, Multi-Mount cup holder and Rotogrip paddle holder for a net. Grabbed a 3/8oz black Booyah Buzzbait too.

 

Looking for an underseat storage solution that's not $100+ and a BlackPak Pro 16x16.

With my success using chatter baits over the last month I decided to buy some more.  Hopefully I didn’t buy them to late in the year. 
 

 

Nah. Bladed jigs work almost year round.

I really hope jackhammer’s are worth the money they are commanding. I actually want to try them out but the cost is what’s been holding me back.

They're definitely worth it, especially at sale price. Omnia just had them for $11-$12 I believe.

Box finally came in today!!

 

 

Used the Owner Wide Gap Plus hooks today and they are incredible for weightless plastics. Super easy to set the hook.

A while back I tried the Shimano Sienna FG in the 2000 size based on a field and stream review and really liked it. Well last week I started looking online for them and they are really hard to find, discontinued? 
 

Found them on Scheels and placed an order Monday night at 9 pm and they were on my doorstep today. Looking forward to pairing them with my Dobyns Sierras. Hoping the lighter reels will balance better than the heavier reels Regals and Presidents. 

Just in time, my swim jigs and trailers showed up today. 6th sense divine swim jigs, rage swimmers in white and bluegill, and baby menace in white and bluegill. Threw in a pack of black and blue cut r worms after seeing them talked about on here quite a bit.

Just scored a St Croix Legend Tournament 74MHf from The Hook Up for 180 shipped.

A beautiful Zillion came in the mail today hopefully I'll get to try it out this coming week throwing some Jackhammers.

Mine is on the way. I got to try one out today and couldn't resist.  It might be the best Daiwa reel I have picked up and that includes a couple of Steez's.

I have the Steez SV and CT.

 

I can't explain it but the Zillion seems to have that "It" factor.  I know that I just played with it for a few minutes but I plan to put it through it's paces when it gets here from Japan.   I also can't explain why I might like it better than the two Steez's I have.  I plan on putting it with a Megabass Evoluzion Super Diablo.  We will see.

How do you like the CT?  I have been in the process of upgrading my gear since around mid last year and I have been thinking of a light casting rig like a NRX 852C/842C with a Steez CT on it.

I love it.  It's smoother than the SV and it's fun to fish. I have it paired with a NRX 802C with Sunline Shooter Finesse Special 8lb. I use it for just about anything down to a 1/16 jig head with a 4.5in Roboworm and up to 3/8 oz 5in senko. It is also great for Easy Shiners.  I like to think of it as an almost BFS reel. I believe with the proper rod it could handle even lighter baits.

Put trailers on and trimmed up the swim jigs.

 

im not a bass but I would eat these 

Well we got some hair jigs, 1/32-1/8 oz

mister twister 3” 4” grubs

2 packs chasebaits curly baits 4”

1 pack baby bass Yamamoto 5” grubs

1 pack black 5” senkos

1 pack air tail wigglers 6” watermelon red

4 road runners in 1/4 

 

I like to try random things here and there, I don’t like to relying on the same techniques over and over. I want to be able to have a nice diverse skill set of different presentations, versus being a master of one. Although being really good at one thing can be a great thing too.

How do you spend last week's tournament winnings? Ask the bait monkey ?.....

Been wanting to try the BMS Sniper for a while.  Have you used it before?  Does it have sections of gray/smoke color?
