[sgibby88]

Went to dicks today for finesse worms and managed to leave with 3 packs of zoom trick worms, 4 packs of kitechs, a chatterbait, 2 packs of underspins, a live target jerk bait, a spool of 20lb power pro, and a shimano spinning combo for shakey heads. Dam monkey got me again

The reel was 20, hooks a buck a pack and the traps were two a piece. The Lews was mid 50's originally so not a great one, but it is a 7 to 1 so perfect for me. Haven't seen sales like this in a while.

I hate that place but this sale around I did end up going.  Abu blackmax combos were on sale.  They only had 6 left. They were $15 each.  

Abu vengeance rods were $12 each and Berkeley Lightnings were $6.00.    I bought all they had.   They're resetting the fishing section. And I still say they're not going to be replacing all the clearance merch.  I think it's going to get smaller.  To date I still buy almost all my goods from eBay, Local shop, cabelas, and more eBay!

I am seriously going to snap! Lightning shocks are still $30 at my Walmart. Abu Black Max combos are $49.99! I would have bought a few at those prices. Consider yourselves very lucky!

Prices are about the same here in Indiana. Unfortunately I went in today and snagged several bags of flukes for $1.18, but all, ALL the hooks except the eagle claw panfish and snelled hooks are gone. I'm not sure if they are getting different brands or what, they did start carrying some vmc stuff

[Gundog]

Went to the Greater Philadelphia Outdoor Show in Oaks today. Told myself that there was nothing I needed as far as baits but maybe I'd bring home some hooks and weights. 

Yea, but when they offered all 3 packs for only $12 how could I not buy them. It would have just been wrong not to make that purchase.

I didn't need to, but I upgraded some reels and a rod for my current setups. 

Even with the trade in program at BPS you can still see my wallet weeping in the background.

Shimano Stradic CI4+ 6:0:1

Lews BB1 6:4:1

Ike Series cranking rod 7'3"

this is one of my absolute favourite rods i use mine for lipless, and medium depth cranks 

[lmbfisherman]

Here is what I acquired the past month.  Needed to get more spinnerbaits and cranks.  Grabbed the Berkeley 110s because they were half price.

[nhpleasantlakebass]

Dicks seams to have megabass on sale got this guy for 13.97. Vision 110's were at 18.97. I'll be going back on payday to get a few 

[NorcalBassin]

I need to stay out of the LATEST DEALS thread and self-impose a time out.

 

I was pleasantly surprised how good these look and have to give them a try

 

KVD Magic Ochos have been hot around here and figured I'd give flukes a break and try Damiki

 

Definitely have enough jerkbaits now. Maybe. Hopefully.

 

Never really spent much time with buzzbaits and figured this year it's time

 

 

Definitely didn't "need" this but I found it with a nice steep discount and figured my drinks and lunch will be extra cool now.

I really wanna know how these baits do. I was eyeing them hard at the BPS during my last trip there. Was gonna pull the trigger but couldn't justify it. 

[fisherrw]

Not bad for 60$!

After a pretty extensive day of use I am liking it a lot as well.

Apparently I got wind of the Walmart sale just a little late.

I have the Ike rod in 7'0 and it is sweet let me tell you. Definitely gets favored over my KVD cranking rod and an unnamed cranking rod i have for sure.

I did some crankbait shopping and snagged some MIA Normans to stock up for the up coming year and beyond. Best part was the price, 3.97 apiece. Pretty good deal. The dark packages are the ones made off shore. Catt, you might notice the Nsx models which have several of already.  

[fishwizzard]

I ran into a walmart today, no sale at mine.  

 

Did pick up some Rooster Tails because, come on, I walked all the way to the back of the store, had to buy something.

I'm jealous.... no cabelas near me but I'd LOVE some LC Pointers!

It's about an hour for me to get to one. Worth the drive for $6 Slender Pointers though. The SK and KVD plastics were $2 a bag. The Boom Boom swimbait was by far the most expensive purchase, and it was only $11.

Kudos on the Normans. Got a lot of those in my tackle box and they are fish catchers.

[Brnnoser6983]

Had to order a new Plano box from TW. I have their 3700 box but I needed another. New box means you have to fill it do I bought 4 new Evil V's a 4x4 & a 4x6.. Can't wait.  for opener

Columbia - If you don't mind sharing, what is that color pattern on those Deep Little N cranks on the left hand side 4*4?

 

I think that would be effective where I frequently fish.

[lmbfisherman]

So I just went to BPS to stock up on some jig trailers and grabbed some chatterbaits.  Picked up some weights and hooks with havoc worms for while I'm in NC for work.

 

i also picked up some heavy jigs 3/8 oz for 2 bucks each.
