Haha, yeah I've been pondering it.    Got to get a second swimbait setup, pretty set on getting a Calcutta 300, but like this rod and the Leviathan Omega rod.   

 

A buddy has a bunch of those rods, and they're really nice, and I love how they do the handle.   Then again I like the KGB rod's handle and cork sections more.  

 

I don't have a good reason to buy another rod besides another Alpha Angler Wide Glide which I currently have, but you know better than me......variety is the spice of life ?

My wife was going to the states, so I had to place an order for her to bring down to PV.  I started off with what I thought was the bare minimum, only what I really needed in my Tackle Warehouse cart.  The total was almost $600.  As much as I hate to see the Bait Monkey cry, I had to whittle the cart down to a reasonable amount.  It took some time and some items were taken off then put back on numerous times, but this is what I felt I could not possibly live without.  Total was under $200.  Package arrived in time for my wife to bring back on the plane.  Mission accomplished.

check out the new line dispenser packaging from Sunline.  Great idea, all line should be packaged this way.

 

 

I am sympathetically excited for you and personally excited to see all the double digit bass you're gonna nail with all that treasure!

Gotta try some of those axle jigs.  They look like a pretty brilliant design.

She couldn't after you spent all the money!

[T-Billy]

In anticipation of this fall's muskiepalooza, I decided I should get a proper reel for the task. There's a Daiwa Lexa 300HD on the way. The monkey says he approves, and recommended I buy a second.

[treble hook]

How about Omnia Fishing with the Complimentary Beef Jerky!!! New Lew’s Reel today. Rod coming soon.

Really excited to have discovered another local bait manufacturer!

 

I placed my first order with Bizz Baits yesterday.  Going to try their Dinner Bell buzz bait, the big thumper 5/8 oz single Colorado spinnerbait (night fishing anyone?), Got my favorite colors to try in their Bizz Bug and their Dizzy Diamond worm and I got some of their Flip n Skip jigs to try because I love the horizontal line tie, coupled with the head shape and the wire tied skirt!

 

They seem to be doing really cool stuff!  Check out Bizz Baits from Concord NC if y'all get a chance!  I'll let you know how I do on some of this treasure soon hopefully!  ??????

I've seen some Bizz bait decals around but never knew anything about them.  Does anyone remember the Fish Getter lure company,  and "Fish Finders"?   It was a local(for me) company when I was a kid.  A couple of my high school class mates worked there.   I think the company has moved, but it still in business.  I'll have to look into it.   The original owner passed away years ago.

Tomorrow morning I'm driving up to Martini Lakes here in Michigan for a work sponsored fishing tournament. Since I broke my good rod in the car door a couple weeks ago, I had to run to Walmart and get something somewhat serviceable so I wouldn't being showing up to a bass and pike tournament with a crappie rig.

 

Also restocked on hooks. I've been holding the bait monkey at bay pretty well so far this year...

 

[PhishLI]

More good stuff?

 

[Bass Rutten]

I stumbled across a Sportsman's Wholesale in Homosassa FL while on a work related road trip and came across these fine deals. All the rapalas and the live target frog were $7.99 each, the 1000yd of sufix was $6.99, should've bought a few more.

[Aaron_H]

Picked up another SLX MGL today. Not 100% sure which rod I'm going to put it on yet. If I could go back, I'd have these on all of my combos honestly. Far and away the best of the SLX line.

[NorcalBassin]

Needed some new line and since I was ordering figured I might as well get another topwater, a squarebill (love that color!) and the smaller version of the Yamatanuki.

 

[hokiehunter373]

New rod came in

 

[MN Fisher]

ALF had a 30% rebate sale going on all their used gear. Since I had this in my wishlist; for $118 with $35 coming back as a gift card...I couldn't lose...and like the other rod I got from their used area, I can't find one thing wrong with it.

@MN Fisher I don't have that particular model but I've got 3 other mojos (2 bass mojo, 1 muskie mojo) and I've been pleased with them.

This makes my 4th Bass Mojo...I'm happy with them. I may grab another as they're closing out the 'old' Mojos for 20% off to make room for the new (IMO: ugly) Trigons.

 

@gimruis

And ya - pulled the trigger. Mojo 7'5" MH/XF on it's way.

[NJBasstard]

Some stuff I ordered came in.. Daiwa 7'3" Swimbait rod, Tatula 200, Ima Glide and Baitsanity Anidote

[treble hook]

Picked up a couple of things today…

[MN Fisher]

Probably the last new Mojo I'll buy...arrived today from ALF's 'close-out sale'.
