I put down a Daiwa Millionaire CT SV.  I saw one of the Japanese sites had a Christmas sale for 50% off so I conned the wife into it

I didn’t ask. When you ask, the answer may be no lol. I ordered a Daiwa Fuego CT. In fact, it arrived today! Now I have to decide what line to spool it up with. I plan on using it for heavier swim baits and jigs, but have no spots for punching so 50 lb braid is not needed. Thinking maybe just spool on some 10 or 12 lb Berkeley Big Game or XL. 

Treat yourself to a spool of #15 Seaguar AbrazX.

 

I got my 'Tackle Claus' present early - gift cert to TW from my mother-in-law that I used Friday for my order.

Yeah, asking gets me no where. I ordered a Irod 7/H and a couple of glide baits...hehehe

Nothing. Had my wishlist ready to go and broke off 6 large ones early Friday morning. Now I know what I'm getting and know I'm getting exactly what I wanted. Oh yeah, had a $30 gift card to offset some of the costs, LOL!

 

Can you say Expride and Tatula Elite!! Woo Hoo!!

What site was that?

Daiwa Tactical backpack 

I get Senkos in my sock every year.  Often they are the odd colors but they still work.  I always happily thank my wife. 

Mostly gear for outfitting my kayak.

Not much more at this point , I’ve bought enough over the last month. Well there’s never enough but I’d be headed towards Castration via the wifey....she has been silent so I think she’s planning my demise .

 

Although I know I’m getting a TW gift card from my mother so that’s probably a 735 Sierra or Mojo Bass.

Here is my list.

A lure that doesn't snag, casts like a bullet, and always catches big fish.

 

A rod that casts can casts as far as I think I can cast.

 

A maintenance free reel that can't backlash, but requires zero brake and casts miles with any rod.

 

Line that works with any knot, has zero stretch unless I want it to stretch, casts well, wont tangle, can float, sink, or suspend, is invisible to bass, but I can see it with out my glasses, and of course is extremely strong.

Given what our basement looks like I couldn't con my wife into any kind of fishing gear. 

 

Even so I would like to have a Tatula Elite casting reel. 

A reprieve from the Bait Monkey so my bank account can lay low and lick its wounds for a while. ?

I got a Daiwa Steez Bottom Contact rod and Steez SV reel and a small bait resupply, mostly soft plastics for next year.

Just those is more than I'll spent total this buying-season.

I keep hinting to the wife that I want a new rod. Now the Levantes are back and I want a whole set haha. Hopefully I can offload a BUNCH of gear and retool.

It's more than I spent last year for sure.

Get both.

Make the tackle monkey happy.

Didn’t really put much of the word out for anything. I’d generally jump all over the TW Black Friday Event. 
 

The handful of items I want are not in stock w/ no back order. I’m not sweating that because I’ll have that stuff by March 31st one way or another. 
 

Did put the word out on some TW Gift Cards. Told people about the discount on them. Have to wait and see. I’ll survive with or without. 
 

You guys enjoy your new toys and have a good holiday. 

On my amazon wish list I put that I wanted TW gift certificates and a link to them

I ordered 2 Tatulas from TW last weekend.  My wife is telling me they are presents, but it depends on who is home when they are delivered.
