Super User WIGuide Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 Definitely guilty of this. I took advantage of TW's 25 days of Christmas sale and after a trip to BPS I've got about $400 worth of new tackle. Yet to be ordered are my 2 new St. Croix's, some more Eco Pro Tungsten, and most likely a new HDS Gen 2 Touch 9. 1 Quote
Grantman83 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 The weather doesn't mean I can't get new rods lol. Two new DX's on the way baby! 1 Quote
5fishlimit Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I've bought several Swimbaits, a Daiwa zillion reel, and tungsten weights. My list of things to buy still includes a Daiwa PX68 Type R, a few duckett rods, and line. 1 Quote
nascar2428 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Tungston bullet weights 2 rods 1 reel and to satisfy my addictions, the obligatory random spinner bait and soft stick bait purchases. Quote
Nice_Bass Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 only have bought "in pursuit of giant bass" from amazon new for 15 bucks or so. Got bored of typical magazines and thought I would give it a read. I like it. I have had several big purchases in the "check out now" etc. only to cancel the purchase and realize I really probably do have way too much already. For some reason I am still convinced I still need another 3-4 rods in the boat when I already don't use half that are in there. 1 Quote
bassboy107 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 so far I have spent a couple hundred since November including a Daiwa Cielo and a new tackle bag. I have also gotten alot of jigs and more plastics (just what I need haha) I also picked up 10 more crankbaits. I'm saving my BPS gift cards for February when the new BPS open near by in Hooksett NH. 1 Quote

Super User J Francho Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 If anything, I've set aside some gear to sell. I'll need to restock on some plastics, and I'll need some spinnerbaits too, but really, unless the pike have gone on the rampage, I have more than enough hard baits. Let's hope for Lucky Craft's sake, pike-pocalypse never happens, lol. Quote

I know what I lose a year in sub $10 baits and I can hardly afford to replace those as fast as I lose them some times. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 I don't use braid. 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 I don't use braid. You really need to come down here when the jerkbait bite is on, you'll catch plenty of bass, and you'll also go home $300 poorer. Quote
basscatcher8 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 New Grub mold is coming today so that will be the next project for a few months so I got plenty when its time to roll lol Quote

mnbassman23 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I'm doing a lot better this year than last. Restocked plastics, jig making materials, and a bunch of swimbaits. Only thing left is fishing line and maybe another swimbait if I feel the need to splurge. 1 Quote

Holy batman Mark you got a good list going my friend. Will the bolded lure be fished with a leader or you risking it with those toothy critters? Hope you smack a giant with that thing. Quote
Grantman83 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Wait...just added a td ito to the list Quote

Will the bolded lure be fished with a leader or you risking it with those toothy critters? Hope you smack a giant with that thing.yes it will. I have the LE Freestyle Green Gizzard shad too. Looks amazing in the water. I only got to fish it twice before winter. 1 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 22, 2014 Super User Posted January 22, 2014 You really need to come down here when the jerkbait bite is on, you'll catch plenty of bass, and you'll also go home $300 poorer. Honestly, I lose more tungsten to pike than hard baits. That's not to say I haven't been bitten off, though - maybe twice in the past few years. Pike LOVE Ragetail baits, and I keep a spool of Cortland Toothy Critter around for when the pike are prowling. Most often though, if I'm catching big pike, I'll move. I feel like the bigger pike drive bass out of the area. 3 Quote
Alpha Male Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Just curious how many other Northerners on here have already started making large tackle purchases even though we probably still have a couple more months of frozen water? I have ordered tons of crankbaits, soft plastics, monofilament, hooks and even sunglasses (in addition to the ice fishing gear I am stocking up on now). I think, if every week or so I get to mess with fishing gear it makes me forget for a little bit that I cannot go Bass fishing for a while. Today I also went out to the barn and visited my Triton for a little bit. More snow right now and -5 degrees tonight means I better order something. Siebert Outdoors jigs anyone? lol So far since hunting and paintball season ended: 7' 11" Daiwa Cielo HF 7' Gander mtn GSX MF 6'6" Gander mtn Vortex MLF Revo STX Tatula R daiwa laguna 2500 x2 daiwa regal 2500 orra s20 Symetre 2000 8#, 12# invisx 12# YZH ultra soft numerous jigs, a few spinnerbaits and buzz baits, with extra skirts. weights, jigheads, hooks, and assorted misc. Plastics, plastics, plastics...and some more plastics.... So...now im in need of a new tackle box Why you ask... Because i have a problem and the only way to make it better is to buy more stuff! I'm even further up north, MN. I did load up during TW's sale and got two reels and more lures. Funny as it may seem, I have been keeping busy learning basics. This past month I've been learning and perfecting tying knots. I mean I know how to tie a few different knots, but I want to remember a few more and even the ones I know I want to be able to do it quick and efficient. Thats a good idea. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 22, 2014 Super User Posted January 22, 2014 I feel like the bigger pike drive bass out of the area. So do I , but some of my biggest fish every year.....5 and 6lbers, come smack dab in the middle of a pike fest, so I put up with it. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 22, 2014 Super User Posted January 22, 2014 Cayuga comes to mind, where you have to "fish through the pike" to get to the big girls. Quote
5dollarsplash Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I'm not adding it up, I'm just too scared. Looking at this thread makes me realize how bad cabin fever hits our wallets, so to avoid getting hit by SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED, I quickly hide/destroy receipts. 3 Quote
Megastink Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I just purchased two pairs of Sealskinz gloves, some OWNER Mambo heads, weedgaurds, green pumpkin power paint, and a toaster oven...... Its time for some jig tying! Quote
mjseverson24 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 This off season I have picked up a few things, but not as much as last year. - Daiwa T3-B - Quantum Kinetic X2 - Lews tournament MG - quantum centex - skeet victory casting reel - shimano compre - shimano clarus X2 - st croix mojo spinning - 125 jig heads and skirts for custom jigs - waterproof plano boxes X10 - about 250 in jig trailers and craw baits some other stuff too, but this is the main catch this year... its time for spring...

Mitch Amen to that. Spring can't come fast enough. Can't beat smacking those big Largies on jigs. Good luck this season bud. Quote
