I guess I went on a buying spree last couple weeks too:

*** Defy Black 7-0 medium heavy spinning rod. 

Keitech Easy Shiner Swimbait

Booyah One Knocker Rayburn Red

Rat L Trap Echo Stumpknocker

600 yds Yo Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft 12 lb. 

Vicious XACT 14 lb and 8 lb. 

Couple weeks back I bought Pflueger President 6930, Pflueger Trion 30 and Shimano Sahara. 

I had some money in my PayPal account. It gone!!

Deer season ends Feb 10. Hope I can catch a few nice days to get on water after that. It's trap season on Gville.

Ordering a NRX 872S to go w that new Stradic Ci4. Those plastic baits are from a local guy at tackle shop on Fork. Awesome colors smells like JJ's magic. Oh yea 2 of the jigs are the M pack swim jigs and the other 2 are Talons. Those Talons are really nice hand tied, gonna buy a bunch of those.

Went to my tackle shop today and I was looking at the clearance rod rack. 2 Crucial crc66mh and a Mbr7something GLoomis GL2 for $50 each. Monkey was on my back hard and I fought him for the whole 2 hours I was there.

 

I walked out empty handed and the whole drive home I was asking myself......did I win?

$50 for a GL2? I'd have jumped on that. I have a 853S JWR that gets used a as much as any other rod in my arsenal. They were in the $200 range when they came out.

It was the older GL2 with the blue blank and the plastic cap on bottom of the straight handle.

 

Yeah the newer gen sold for $200 but have been told they were not worth it. I think some folks on here snagged a few when Dick's had them on clearance for $119.

Just had the one. $50 cdn...so like $38 US

 

Been struggling over that rod for a month or so. I'd even PM'd a few folks on here after I had done some research and found older posts.

I would've jumped on those Crucials big time...Major props for fighting off the monkey!

I just gave it a shot the other day with one of the 10g ones.  It very much wants a loop knot or split ring, but they have a nice subtle wiggle at low speeds and the price is right for throwing in all sorts of cover without much worry.  Please report back if you have any luck with them.

Got my smelly stuff order in today;) Can't wait till May rolls around!

[mllrtm79]

I stopped by the local fishing expo this afternoon... Not bad for $18

[Burtonxj]

852S IMX and a 2500 Sustain. 

 

Been holding the bait bait monkey off all winter..got me good the other night. This was after putting a Stella and an NRX in the cart 4 or 5 times. Coulda been worse..

[NorcalBassin]

Not quite up to TxHawgs' standards, but I still picked up more than I had planned...

 

Curado 70, 8.2:1

 

Never had a dedicated frog rod, and apparently it's time

 

And some tackle... my first 110, a couple shell white Staysees, and Fx2 for the frog rod

Now I feel like the type of person I don't like. No need to post stuff I buy in here. I'm here to learn get advice and opinions and posting my gear doesn't get me any of that.

seeing what others buy helps me expand my brands beyond my comfort zone.  Your posts may not help you but they do help some of us!

[U-boat Aficionado]

I should have posted this here instead of in the other forum: My inexpensive pier, jetty and boat rig. A KastKing Rover reel and medium-heavy Ugly Stik. Will work for swim baits, if I ever fish swim baits.

[MassYak85]

Carbon Fiber Sheet and Shimano Cardiff Spool came in the mail. Made 3 drag washers for my Pro Qualifier as the stock ones were shot, all set now for frogging this year. Also bought some 65lb 832 and spooled up the cardiff spool to fish big topwaters.

 Love the Case plastics Magic Stiks. They are a great alternative to expensive senkos.

Bro... sorry you took it that way because that was not the intention. This is a tackle addict thread and my comment was all in fun and definitely not meant to be snarky. You've been picking up some sweet gear and tackle that we enjoy seeing, so please keep them coming as you replenish. Somewhere in these 188 pages there are probably a number of posts by me as I picked up a handful of NRX's and other high end gear... definitely no hate coming from me!  

[frosty]

My first square bills, I'm looking forward to trying them out on creek smallies. A rattletrap, I'm looking forward to ripping grass with it, and a suspending crank my wife said was pretty and would catch fish. Honestly, I let her pick out a lot of lures, she has a knack for finding "the one"

@NorcalBassin Thanks man I appreciate it. I didn't take it in a weird way I just didn't want to be seen in a certain way. But thanks for putting things straight. These were delivered today lol.
