Some new topwaters I won't get to use until next summer.

and an old school stand by.

Curious how the Lunkerhunt prop series fish and hold up. I held off on BF because I figured I had enough ploppers, home made spin frogs, and that duck thing to last me a while. They look pretty cool, especially the baitfish one.

I'm not a big fan of their stuff, but the WP has been so productive and I know lots of areas that I'd like to throw one but there's too many weeds, hoping these will be a good option that is a little cheaper than the Sprinker.

I just got mine at the beginning of the week.  I was gonna order my dad one for christmas, but the sale had already ended.  I may just end up giving him mine...even though it's a sweet little reel and looks so good on my frog rod..

I'm so glad I pulled the Trigger on it. I just love how light and easy to palm it is. Not to mention saving 60$

Definitely.  It's noticeably smoother with the micro module gearing.  Didn't think it was going to make that much of a difference.  I was pleasantly surprised.

Buttery smooth, the thing that I really like is the additional bantam oil they put with it. My stradic fg came with it but thr fk didn't. Needless to say I was a little bummed about that. So I was happy it also came with that. I have a fenwick smallmouth 6'9mh coming Monday Gonna be Nice skinny creek and river smallies set up.

Don't have it in hand yet, but finally ordered a Pflueger President reel from DSGs 40% off sale today. Picked up the 35 size for 38 bucks and managed free shipping too. Figure it will balance well with my ugly stick I toss plastics and spybaits on. 

 

[gall]

So the elite tech smallie came today, I'll have a pic up soon. That being said props to Alf for the amazing job they did for delivery for both my reel and rod. Also the letter and price of candy ha.the rod was shipped in a  nice heavy duty tube and the tip was nicely bubbled wrap. For a used rod it even had thr tag looks brand new.

Ordered a Lamiglass BC rod, EXL MH Fast, 7 ft.  Cannot wait until I get it.  Bought it for heavy cover jig and worm fishing.  Christmas present.

Extreme Mission Type F. Not sure yet. I have about 25-30 casting reels, and I'll rotate them around depending up what/where I'm fishing.

A few things from the recent sales

 

And today !!!!!

Ordered it before the last price bump, picked it up in NH so no sales tax, used a couple bills worth of BPS gift cards I was awarded at work, and signed up for a BPS card which gave me another $ 95 off.

 

All of which is going with this

 

All of which I can't wait to use to catch something like this, or bigger

True Life: I'm addicted to Rage Tail baits. 

 

 

 

31 packs that I've bought so far on the various holiday sales from a few sites (mostly Seiberts). 8 more packs are on the way from TW. 

[Dorado]

Must have colors for Arizona’s waters. I fell in love at first sight with swim Jigs this year, especially post spawn

Just received a new Lews Tournament MB and I love the buttery smooth spinning of the reel and can't wait to get it out on the water next spring. Planning on pairing it with a Dobyns Fury.

I bought myself a few Christmas presents today! Picked up a Teckel Sprinker Frog and a 5" Live Target Bluegill swim bait. Can't wait to head out tomorrow morning and give them a try.

[Cgolf]

Looks like I a getting in on this Swimbait thing. Should be getting a couple more this weekend.

[Angry John]

I have one of those in brown, there a great bait and well worth the money spent.  The swimbait game is like the JDM dark side. If your into both you might as well mortgage your house now!!!!

[DINK WHISPERER]

Just bought myself a gift card. Then ordered a couple Powell Max 3d rods, a Curado K, some XD cranks and line.

Thought you were a die hard fan of those reels that shall remain nameless.
