Has anyone ever received one of these? My wife bought me one I’m assuming off of Amazon and gave it to me yesterday, I’m sure the lures will be on the cheaper end and she even alluded to this but hey I’m the guy that loves Ozark Trail lures as well as the name brands. I’ll update after I get the first week opened if anyone shows interest.

That’s too cool…

please do …do the updates…

Looks like fun.

 

Could you imagine if some of the JDM brands did this.....Megabass, OSP, Evergreen, Lucky Craft, Deps, or Duo. Put one exclusive color in there and it would be game over for my wallet.

Maybe we should get with THU for next year. I bet Ben would do that instead of/in addition to a bento box.

Maybe.  This years Black Friday Bento was really good though. I was lucky enough to get one. I was able to peak at it before my wife wrapped it up for Christmas.  

So I’m done opening my first week and to be honest I’m pleasantly surprised by the selections, I will add the hooks seem to be about the same quality as my Ozark Trail lures which as I’ve said I have zero issues with them. The only downside is I received 3 spoons in the first week which I feel they could have spaced a little better but I’m super happy with the square bill and the top water plug so far and hey for the $23.00 it was normally which my wife had a 1/2 off coupon for I’m happy enough and I’m enjoying looking forward to the next days surprise.

That squid looks like it glows, could be a killer for those IL. largies....

Looks like you getting some cools stuff.

Will be eagerly waiting for the next update.

I agree and it’s a line through type of lure so I really think it may be very versatile as well. I’m thinking I may try to make some type of permanent rig that I can attach and detach from different setups and if anyone has any recommendations I’d love to read them. I’m showing the photo as a reference that I’m pretty sure I could put up to 50 lb plus monofilament through this thing for reference to your all hopefully recommendations 😃

Strike King - 12 Days of Fishmas

Here’s week #2 of my advent calendar and although the spoons became a bit overkill I’m still enjoying this.

Oh Man…… @Eric 26           I’m jealous….. cool gift. Like the jerk bait.   Do they give you any info on the lures? Does it suspend, float , or deep dive?

Unfortunately no there is absolutely no information given on any of the lures. I will say again that they are currently offering a few different versions on Amazon for as low as $6.00 which I’m tempted to pick one up at that price.

Agree with GRiver, that’s a very cool gift. Can you do a close-up pic on the jerkbait

I will add the jerk bait has rattles and a really nice paint job that transitions from dark blue to bright blue to an orange goldfish color from top to bottom depending on how the light is hitting it. My daughter asked me for some Christmas ideas and I shared the link with her and for the $6.00 price I’ll be more than happy to reopen the calendar even if it’s a duplicate of everything I’ve currently received.

Week #3 of the advent calendar.

That white crank will be your top producer in ‘26

I didn’t immediately see the spoon and got suspicious…

@Eric 26 you got some nice things again….

Does that white crankbait float?

I’m currently out of reactions so thank you for the comment. I’m looking forward to getting these lures out on the water and hopefully posting some pictures of fish they catch.

As noted above I’m out of reactions but I love the comment 😂 In all seriousness I’ve been wanting to try fishing spoons for some time now as they are definitely something no one is currently using on my favorite ponds as far as I can tell. The fact that I received so many spoons so far will definitely make it easier to swallow if and when I do lose 1 or more.

Judging by holding it in my hand I’m going to say no but……it turns out it does 🤯 

My final 4 days of my calendar as they ended the gifts on the24th. Overall I was very pleased with the calendar and I’m hopeful my wife gets me another one next year😃    A bonus photo bomb courtesy of my cat😆

No spoon?? I’m disappointed Amazon.

Please tell me the cat didn’t walk around with a lip ring? Haha

 

That was awesome, hopefully you can do that next year!
