i too have found myself becoming a tackle and gear junkie, but you gotta love the feeling of unboxing a brand new SHIMANO baitcasting reel, am i right?

Fix’t it for ya ?

Got this new Okuma/Tackle Warehouse Collab custom black swimbait rod for an early father's day gift. I highly recommend it at this price. Megabass quality for a fraction of the price. Got myself another 86 baits Andromeda in golden shiner as a gift to myself. ?

 

 

Planned to get another JDM bantam but Academy had 20% off all reels, plus 10% leo discount, plus 5% Academy cc discount. 

I know I showed the Daiwa B&G before but I don’t think I’ve shown my new to me used (excellent condition) Curado MGL 151? Both just got spooled today ?

Just got a P5 Addermine and paired it with a Certate 2500 -

my Nasci 1000 gets an upgraded Rod! IMX Pro SJR 901 S

this replaces a 19 year old GL3 with a messed up reel seat 

ohhh yeahhh

Nice combo.

This will probably be my next P5 rod also.

 

I caught about 10 on it today - it handled a 1/4oz texas rigged dropshot like a champ! 

just another sexy angle of my new rig lolol

 

These wood knobs from the Chinese brand KAWA are decent. I mean sure there's some inconsistence in size and the surface could use another coating, but for the price ($30 a pair), I am not complaining about the craftsmanship.

Or, they suck, but what do you expect for $30?

Not something I would consider.

 

                                                             

Well, I can't afford the best on everything, so I prioritize what I want and learn to enjoy cheaper things.

A little family photo......My girl thinks I have a rod problem and I told her she was right. My problem is I need another Rod-Runner to carry them all. Each one has its place and I can fish almost any presentation. I do need a frog setup though. I do not want to switch out my punch setup (super grip) every time I want to toss a frog. 

 

Nothing like a decent Bass on a new rod!

Got absolutely spoiled on my bday by family who support my obsession. 

• Kistler Helium "Texas-Carolina Rig, Jig" rod (7'0")

• Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 7.1

• FINN Fishing Gloves

My first Kistler rod. Can't wait to try it out with the Daiwa.

I can’t figure out what is going on with that fish’s mouth. Looks like the mouth of a carp on the body of a bass.

love a good mail day on my day off

Good eye but it's look normal when I put it back in the water. 

But yeah kinda looks like this guy!?

 

 

 

 

Matchy Matchy….

I love my Expride A's, but these new Expride B's...they're something else. And they are some of the best-looking rods out there IMO. (I love rods that looks more simple/clean)

I completely agree with everything you've said about the Expride B, I do own a Expride A myself and while the Expride B is a bit better. Expride A is still somewhat cool though.

 

Not so sure about the hook keeper on the B, but it's OK.

Oh yeah, I still love the A's too.
