TW has the Lew's Custom SLP marked down to $139.99. I think it just came out last year. Awesome reel. Very compact as well.

It’s true. I was going to get two dock skippers. 
 

Guess I need to get signed up with omnia for future deals.

Which ones were you looking at?

There was almost no stock so I was just going to get a couple Mojo dock skippers. Think they were 7’ H

I bought the 6’9” ultralight and the 7’ light.  I often bring my wife and daughters or a buddy and needed a couple more panfish rods.

I only live 2 hours from Omnia so I should get them quickly!

Does the bogo deal for Omnia have a code?

Email them if the code doesn’t work.   I had the same issue with the tatula code last week.  I emailed them and they got back to me in a couple days and they sent me a new code.   Great customer service!!!

I actually had 4 in my cart but I had to go back to work and couldn't complete the purchase. When I went back they were all gone :(.

went to fleetfarm yesterday and their big sale started for fishing gear. I picked up 2 packs of 832 braid superline #30 150yd in hi vis yellow regular 18.99 each for 13.29 each.

I am going to try the hi vis for the first time because i want to see if its easier to track my line in the heavy river current.

Lews Custom Pros for $209.

https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lews_Custom_Pro_SLP_Casting_Reel/descpage-CPSP.html

My local Ollie's had 8" and 10" Castaic and Reaction Strike soft body trout swimbaits for $6.99 to $8.99, LC cranks and jerks for $7.99, and Suffix Siege and Elite 1000yd spools of 6 and 8 lb test for $9.99.

Lure net has free shipping on orders over $35.  Found a code online for 15% of Debo15.  My total order was 37$ which went to $32 after the code.  I saved something like $12 total once the free shipping was added. 
 

they don’t have the best selection.  It’s all Norman, bomber, bandit hard baits and mainly yum soft plastics.  After listening to BTL Thursday episode with frank I bought some Norman red cranks and some yum spine craws.

yum spine craws

You won't regret the spine craws, but maybe you've tried them already. They have been awesome for me, T-rigged and Tokyo Rig. They aren't fancy with the plain flapping claws with no flanges on the end but they sure worked well for me last year.

I hope YUM keeps making them. I’ve put them on a 1/8oz jig head (literally the ones marketed for panfish) and caught nice spotted bass in a swift current stream (the kind that has a knack for flowing under a mountain railroad bridge). Great thin profile for a fast presentation.

He was pretty convincing! Who knew they were made from an unusual material too?

I don’t know about unusual material but, he explained the whole red thing pretty well. What I got out of the the talk is  The red cranks are 40-50 degree thing and after that put them away.  That you don’t need a whole tackle box of red.  than always if the main plan fails have a back up to the back up plan.

 

I liked the spine craw vs chunk talk.  When to use what types as a trailer.  The spine crawl a more streamlined craw with a tite flapping action while,chunk has flappy arms.  That type of stuff isn’t just related to just those 2 soft plastics. 

 

I started catching fish with Norman cranks last summer.  They are affordable with decent paint jobs.  They work. I change out hooks though. 
 

 

Depending on April up here  the most of the bigger lakes won’t be 50 untill the end of the month.  The bigger lakes havnt even hit 40 yet. Supposed to be warm this next week. Im hoping some of the smaller lakes will be in the low 40’s 

 

 

Good deal on some little boxes.  I use these for Ned Heads, and Shakey heads.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DRMKSO?tag=dealsofamerica0b-20&ascsubtag=06RSBH8fejI5FjpSO7HE4Z1

I had major analysis paralysis and all the good stuff sold out.  ended up just getting two 6'6 ML premiers.  you can never have enough ned rig rods!

I kind of did the same thing.  I did some searching around for panfish rods and then remembered I had gotten the code for St. Croix.  I thought I would check them out for maybe one panfish rod and another for bass, but they didn't have much left.  It was a really cool sale that just doesn't happen often .  Very cool thing Omnia did.  They have run some good sales this year so far.  They may be competing with Midway USA for my money!!!  I think I may have purchased Mr. Potterfield's groceries for the year at Midway!!!

Stopped at a Mills Fleet Farm yesterday and they had a lot of sale items. The newer Berkley Jerkbaits were 11.99 and the tiny 4s were 6:50. 
 

for the multi species fishing folks on here, the reef runners were 75% off non sale baits. The main location was wiped out but I found an end cap with deep little rippers and 1 DD 800. All rang up for a 1,74. I am actually going to try the rippers in the 6 foot reed beds for bass, thinking it will hopefully imitate something dying. As an aside the reef runner website is not loading, they have some amazing baits, hope this isn’t the end for them. 

It's nice to see the Omnia love on here.  They have become my favorite shop in the USA. 

 

Heads up...they are offering a $30 rebate on the $29 premium membership through the 27th.  It would be silly not to take advantage of this deal.  You can always find a 15% off code for Omnia somewhere.  Premium gives you 10% back, fast free shipping, and frequent exclusive offers.

 

Another big name online tackle shop that buys and sells used gear has advertised their membership program to me, but it doesn't work out to be free like the Omnia membership.  Omnia wins the battle for my bait monkey dollars.

Definitely a good deal but I find I buy from Omnia only occasionally. Some brands I often buy aren't stocked or out of stock.

True.  I'm hoping the enlarged store (or warehouse) helps with available stock.
