We can schedule a rock rendezvous if you wanna give one a shot.

Sounds like a plan! We'll keep in touch.

A fishing license.

Gonna go hog wild in a couple of months though.

A dozen new jigs 1/2oz made by my Mailman who does it as a side gig. A bunch of new cranks, DT6s, Frittsides, Bill Lewis ATVs. A handful of new Chatterbaits as well. Evo Elites and Mini Maxs, both in 3/8 and 1/2.

Probably going to buy at least one new rod, possibly as many as three. Looking at St. Croix, G Loomis, Falcon, and Kistler.

New reels also. Metanium or Zillion maybe both.

If you want to talk falcons, Mets, or zillions just holler.

I'd say I bought a good amount this winter. A new scale, Shimano Caius casting combo, Abu Garcia spinning combo, probably 6 packs of plastics, half a dozen jigs, a few lipless cranks, a squarebill, a 6th sense divine umbrella rig, a 500yd spool of 15lb KastKing flouro line, 12lb Yo Zuri flouro, 12lb Berkley Big Game flouro, a bladed jig, a live target blugill swimbait for the spawn, and a few Berkley and Strike King swim jigs.

I added a blackpak with a shortstack to my kayak (sounds like a line from a Dr. Suess book) 😂 Finally made the step up from the rolling toolbox DIY tacklebox to something a lot nicer.

Also added the DIY seat riser, a paddle holder, a 100 Ah mini lithium battery, and 55lb thrust stern mount motor to the kayak my kids use. Should make it a lot more enjoyable for them.

Don't know how it is possible, but literally nothing added fishing related this winter. 😐

100 red treble hooks and a bunch of #8 split rings for the spoons that I made.

Excluding lures, i got a really clean 2011 calcutta 100 DC, a NOS limited edition LIVRE handle from like 10 years ago, and cerakoted one reel that i still haven't assembled yet.

Are you pouring spoons now?

Winter ain’t over yet! Haha

A spool of 15# Big Game, two Rat-L-Traps, and I'm waiting for the Spring Classic to see about a frog reel.

Not just now. I’ve been pouring them for a long time. I have about run out of the babbitt ones and have switched to hard lead.

Two spinning rods, reels, and Seaguar Smackdown in Stealth Gray to fill the spools. I don't use spinning rods myself very often, but always have about ten of them ready to go. I ran across an unusually good deal on the new ones and decided to bite. Whenever I take visitors, friends, and family fishing, my prized bait casters stay in the rod lockers and at home; that is when the spinning tackle is handed out.

In 2025 I was disciplined and denied the monkey. I have the same intentions for 2026. With that said, I needed some mono and a Rapala Original Floating Minnow in size 18 also made it home with me. I love the smalller ones on calm days. I am hoping the 18 size will be just as effective but a little more usable with a little wind.

I added the following:

2 Skeet Reese 2000 Icon Spinning Reels

Royal Legend Pro 7'6" MH/F Spinning Rod

Royal Legend Pro 3000 Spinning Reel

Assoretd frogs

Blue Fox Spinners

Misc terminal tackle

Purchased a Shimano Aldebaran BFS. Built a BFS rod from a Rainshadow Eternity spinning blank.

By far the lightest combo I have ever held.

Cashion Icon and a Shimano Curado MGL 201

If that Tatula is the Feider 7'6, Im sure you'll like it. The Johnson Hair Jig is nice, but it just isnt as versatile.

Restocked some soft plastics and bought a few 600y spools for floro.

Picked up the refreshed Daiwa Tatula cork rod 7'3" MH/F for some bottom contact work.

Mostly lures. One reel and cerakote a steez.

Few baits that I haven't used much. Built 2 rods for deep dragging stuff. Rehabbed a couple reels now I need rods for them. The cycle continues.

I did get a few Raid Dead Boy swimbaits. Holy smokes they're amazing.

I wasn't going to add anything big, but once a year I get an opportunity for pro deals on Shimano fishing gear.. so I decided it was time to try out a Curado MGL 70. Only made it out once so far, but I think I'm going to end up liking it as much as my Zillion.
