I would put in a hedge fund.  I'm going to plant a new hedge along the side of the house this spring.

The Optimax Pro XS likes the expensive stuff, but at least it's cheaper than what my BIL has to put into his Evinrude!

Wow! Between oil and fuel I couldn't afford to actually fish lol ?

Most of our lakes are smaller than 500 acres. The biggest in the state is only 16k acres, and there's only 3 or 4 bigger than 10k. I don't do a lot of running.

Lucky you! My two main lakes are huge. I burn almost a tank each time out.

Breakfast of champions ?

Restock my roboworms and dropshot hooks.  Replenish my ball head jigs and some GY grubs and that puts me at about 50. 

I got a $50 BPS card for christmas, and I'm going to buy 3 Evergreen Jackhammer chatterbaits because I could never pay the price for them out of pocket, it would hurt too much lol.

Braid line, terminal tackle, lures I either want more of or want to try for the first time. Or maybe I scour the sites looking for closeout rods and reels. Or I sock it away and add to it later to get the matching spare wheel/tire for my Jeep.

It’s actually turns out that I made out like a bandit today. I recieved a total of $220 worth of gift cards and cash. Looks like I’ll bee looking for a nice set of bibs and jacket.

Won't regret this, I have a few and they are worth it.

Any recommendations for a set of bibs and jacket?

I bought the H2O bibs and jacket at Academy. Caught em on sale a year or so back and actually got both pieces for $100. I dunno how it compares to the higher dollar stuff but it’s nicest raincoat I’ve owned. 

I got a $100 bill burning a hole in my pocket after Christmas and not sure what I’m going to do either.

I’ve actually looked at those and they didn’t seem to bad at all. Sounds like you got a good deal on yours

I will save it towards my canoe fund. Although a nice fishing backpack is also in order this season, as is a ML spinning rod for drop shotting

Well I don’t know much about it but I bought my son his first baitcast rod today. Caught it on sale for $20. It’s a Diawa Aird-X rod, and I think I’m going to buy him an Abu Black Max to go on it. I think for his first setup this will be easy to use and fairly inexpensive. Oh and the bibs and rain jacket are next.

$50 would pay for a nice dinner with the wife.

I will buy a couple lures that proved themselves to be good in the areas I fish.

I would buy a dozen Norman Deep Lil N Crankbaits from TW like today.  Crazy sale and their colors seem endless.

Wow I just went and looked and your right that’s crazy good.
