Sweet! I think you should listen to your boy, seems like he is keen on what to do!

[Mr_Scrogg]

Behold, the Loot!
 

Man ALIVE!!, All of a sudden, I feel what I sent was lacking!!!

Awesome box, definitely the looks of a Smallie Fisherman (which is a love of mine!!!)

Ive tossed one Spinnerbait last year, and my stepson lost it, so these are much appreciated. Ive never been fluent tossing them, but this year will be different!!! Im a closet Squarebill w*ore, so this will be used alot!!! Ive never tried thr Gulp Grubs, work good for Smallies? How do I rig? Since Ive started to learn to pitch, Tubes are something Ive never tried hardcore. Good pick! I've got 4 other Koppers frogs, none that are black though,  Really look forward to tossing this at my secret places at night next summer. As with the "buzzfrogs"  We get tons of coontail beds out here, killer for a Horny Toad, ChiggerFrog, or Stanley Ribbit.  Should put another PB in my resume. The jigs look killer for skipping docks, something Ive tried to do a spell last year. Swimbaits are ALWAYS tied on to a rod on my deck too... Good Cyber Stalking, McAlpine!!! Lol Really did your homework.

Merry Fishmas my friend

Squarebill w*ore?   Looks like you did pretty good

I've been called that, but not in reference to squarebills.

Jrob 78,

 

Awesome and hilarious.  I will post pictures later.  Don't want to spoil it if you haven't opened yours yet. 

[backwater4]

Thanks Jeff, 00 Mod

 

I'm horrible at trying to post pics.  Jeff nailed it though:

 

4" ring frys

4" senkos

Punished Hair Jigs

Arkie bucktail jig

Berkley shakey worms

Plus an extra to be named later

 

He really put in a lot of research. Awesome job! Once again a lot of fun.

Jrob 78,

At least we both know we bought gifts the other person will like!

 

After seeing your post, I couldn't wait any longer and opened mine.   That's too funny  Thanks a lot, I couldn't be more pleased with my gifts!  I love the Pop X but haven't used a Pop Max yet, I can't wait to try it out.  I think the white python is one of the coolest colors too.  Yo Zuri makes great baits and the Crystal Minnow will get used this weekend.   I'm glad we ended up drawing each other!  Thanks a lot!!

[chromedog]

I just laughed when I opened it.  We were definitely on the same wave length.  I cant wait to try the Kelly j and I love the megabass line of baits. 

The Yozuri is one of my favorites.  Everything to Walleye in the spring to northerns in summer and of course small and large mouths.  Let me know how it does for you.  Thanks again, I will get  a pic posted soon, my wife is exhausting with all the shopping.  Have a great holiday!

 

O, and let me know how the white does?  Been dying to try that color.

[slainempire]

i gotta get in on this next year, looks like fun

Too funny.  I have several different Yo-Zuri crankbaits but no jerkbaits.  I will give it a good workout this winter, for being a mostly clear bait, it throws a ton of flash.  The Kelly J is one of my favorite topwater baits, especially during the bluegill spawn.  Like you said, I love the Megabass line of baits too, can't go wrong there.  I will let you know how the White Python does!

 

Merry Christmas to you!

Richard, rockchalk06, nailed it.  I have looked at that hoodie on TW many times and never pulled the trigger.  I have Revo's, vendetta's and veritas.  There is always an Abu product in my hand.

 

The other 3, Strikeback spinner bait, Mega strike and the white menace are always on my boat.

 

Awesome job dude!

[Hi Salenity]

Those hoodies are great quality! I have 2 and am wearing one now !!!

[.ghoti.]

Got this nice load of loot from Norcalbassin. Thank you Chad.

I'll post some pics as soon as I figure out how to do that with my iPad.

Thanks man. I'm glad your liked it. Funny thing was on the hoodie, I had ordered that about 9 months prior to the loot thread starting. I had totally forgot about that and the day I was going to mail your package, it showed up lol. I thought "I know who could use this"

[Fishing Cowgirl]

Bass n Chris, apparently the package took a detour and got lost at Mesquite Texas for 3 days, it's back on track. I'm pm'ing you the tracking #.

I believe that is the only way you  can get from here to Oklahoma.

Got your PM just in the 'Saint Nick' of time.

Not troubles with delay........just happens.

Thanks again for saving Christmas for me.

May be the only way to get here from anywhere!

[rockchalk06]

Don't feel bad, every package I have ordered in the last two weeks was delayed or ship around the county before it came here lol

[BassnChris]

Probably won't get any better after this storm either.

[rockchalk06]

Agreed. It took me just at 40 minutes to get to work tonight. Nomally a 13 minute trip.

 

I have one more item that is supposed to be arriving tomorrow and were done till after the holidays.

[NorcalBassin]

I have a package from Siebert Outdoors staring at me and tempting me to open it every time I walk by. I assume it's from .ghoti. and it's pretty stuffed... thank you in advance! I'll post pics once I can no longer resist the temptation. 

[McAlpine]

Ok, neither myself or the little boy could make it to Christmas.  We opened up our box from Mr. Scrogg and everything is just great!  The man definitly did his research, he included 4 of the greatest baits ever made, the titanium T1 terminator and in the right color and blade configuration too!  Well done!  To top that off I have a couple bags of chigger craws which are by far my favorite trailer and in a couple colors I have never used which is good.  I'm always stuck on watermellon green and this will make me branch out a bit.  Love it.  Finally, a bag of some really cool little "worm nose jigs" with an example worm rigged up and a bag of elastec worms to use on them.  I have never seen a jig like this and I think it will just be killer in the river for smallmouth and spots.  I'm excited.  Now I need some time to get out on the boat.

 

I hope you liked your box half as much.  I tried to do some research into the area you lived in and some of the waters you have chatted about fishing so I was shooting for a few of my favorite largemouth baits and then feature in on some smallmouth baits that I love that I thought would work in clearer waters and small rivers.  I really hope it all works out for you this year and you catch 'em all.

 

Thanks Mr. Scrogg, you did great!  Merry Fishmas!

Wish I would have had time to send a note on each of the items in the box but yeah, definitly wanted to outfit you for some brown fish!  Those Bomber mini-whackers are the one bait I have caught more bass on of every type pretty much ever.  They work everywhere. The excalibur is money when you have to boat some fish early and late in the year.  The gulp twister tails are smallmouth killers either with a small jig head and bounced on the bottom or you can rig them up with that same jig head and a small saftey pin spinner so it looks like a small spinner bait like the old bettle spins.  If you don't catch river smallmouth on that rig I'll eat my hat.  I've caught up to 5lb largemouth on that rig and more smallies and spots that I can think of.  The live target frog in black is just fun as heck to catch largemouth on especially in the morning, just after the light breaks, when the water is still like glass.  Work it around cover and wait for a bloody heart attack when it happens.  ;-)

 

Enjoy!!!
