Brnnoser6983 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Just got off TW and the damage done so far is Abu Garcia revo sx Abu Garcia vendetta 7'6" MH fast-to match with reel About $160 worth of jigs and trailers(strike king and booyah mostly) A handful of booyah spinnerbaits Some more braid Reel grips Now my mind is wandering as I want a setup for drop shots so may order all that aswell... Rod and reel, hooks, weights, lures, line or as I call it "the works" That is what I am pondering. I have a bunch of drop shot gear picked out, but I went to the local tackle shop this morning, and picked it a bunch of tackle making gear. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted January 13, 2015 Super User Posted January 13, 2015 yikes better be carful!!! Yes I know, seeing all the gear and most under retail price you could def get yourself introuble. Â Good thing I have a good job and no wife. Â Then I'd be buying her shoes instead of me fishing gear. Quote
Dylcook91 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 That is what I am pondering. I have a bunch of drop shot gear picked out, but I went to the local tackle shop this morning, and picked it a bunch of tackle making gear.The local tackle shop is my big weakness as well, I buy all this stuff online but then find myself walking around in the store buying stuff too. Its because there you buy it and have instant satisfaction, where online orders you have to wait for it to be shipped.What saves me is there arent any major fishing stores here in Jersey. Most tackle shops are geared towards saltwater, leaving freshwater gear off their shelf's. Quote

Good thing I have a good job and no wife. Then I'd be buying her shoes instead of me fishing gear. I think I have it good. I have a wife that doesn't have a shoe fetish, shopping problem. All she ask for is to get her hair done twice a year. She tolerates my fishing addiction, and lets me shop for gear as needed. However, she doesn't know about my fishing fund account yet and her tolerance could go out the window with that knowledge. Quote
Alpha Male Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Well... Let's see... Since Christmas I have bought a revo premier, tatula type R, daiwa s-class 6'6" my-xf rod for jigs, 3 yo-zuri crayfish crankbaits,2 livetarget. Frogs, a live target mouse, 2 arashi wakebaits, 2 yo-zuri wakebaits, 2 yo-zuri squarebills, a couple spools of line, probably 30+ bags of soft plastics, 10+ bags of hooks, 5 more Plano stowaway boxes to put it all in. All in all I kept it under 600$ so far...but we have at least 10 week's til ice out so who knows... Can't wait to get after some crappie. Quote

Super User Master Bait'r Posted January 13, 2015 Author Super User Posted January 13, 2015 Ok so I've been on a bit of a search. Who else makes something like the Izumi alive diver? (A swimbait with a diving bill on the front that goes to 4-6'). They can't be the only company that makes something like that. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted January 13, 2015 Super User Posted January 13, 2015 This came in this past week... Boostr, Have you purchased from Andys before? Any feedback on their various hair jig variations you could provide? Assuming you have fished their products. 1 Quote
boostr Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Boostr, Have you purchased from Andys before? Any feedback on their various hair jig variations you could provide? Assuming you have fished their products. First time I ordered from them. I just received them, and haven't fished hair jigs before, but there customer service is great. I'll give you the story, I ordered these in the First and received confirmation that they were sent on the second. A week later nothing, sent an e mrdail he got back to me the next day saying the shipment was returned to them because the label was torn. He tells me don't worry about it I'll send it 2 day service and throw in something extra. Get the package 2 days later with an extra bag of 3 hair jigs. I call that great cs. They are in the pick with No Charge written on the label. I'll pm you the web site. Actually travis23 on here turned me on to the web site, when I was looking into hair jigs for small mouth. They look pretty good. I ended up ordering buck tail jigs and a couple of Maribou jigs. 1 Quote

HokieBen Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 My latest addiction is searching Amazon for deals on plastics... their prices are all over the place (usually over priced), but if you find the right color you'll get a deal. Their inventory and pricing changes all the time. Anything Havoc less than $2 goes in the cart. The bait monkey just found a new way to get my money. 1 Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted January 14, 2015 Super User Posted January 14, 2015 New spool arrived today. Come on spring! 5 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 15, 2015 Global Moderator Posted January 15, 2015 I got a beat down by a whole troop of monkeys today! Actually only 1 of the reels, the Deps, and 3 of the rock crawlers are mine. I picked 1 rock crawler up for a buddy and the other 2 reels are my Christmas presents to 2 of my fishing buddies. 9 Quote
krisjack69 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 nice. I wish u were my fishing buddy lol to give me a reel for Christmas. It would be a great Christmas for me. Â I love fishing just don't get out there to much as I have no boat. I fish from the bank tho. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 15, 2015 Super User Posted January 15, 2015 I think I gave that Deps to my Christmas buddy this year. I had it for a year or two, but never got around to using the lure.. Hmm...tell me a little bit about the lure, I would like to give him a heads-up. Quote
prjavelin Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 January the monkey had been on fire. New fishfinder and around $300 on tackle and then around the same on boating stuff and repairs :'( Quote
EvanT123 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Excited to see how this handles some brown fish in the summer. Might end up having the brown fish handing it to me; either way should be fun. 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 16, 2015 Super User Posted January 16, 2015 The bait monkey got me when I saw Tackle Warehouse had Seaguar line on sale.  I picked up a big spool of Tatsu, Invizx, and a couple of small spools of Senshi.  Can't wait to use the Tatsu.  This stuff looks amazing.  At first glance, you can see the quality difference between Invizx and Tatsu.  I never thought I would be able to notice something like this in fishing line. Quote
