Have you used those leeches before?  They are great DS lures but are also amazing nose hooked on a wacky jighead or small ball jig and just slowly swam back in. 

 

Only problem is that panfish just hammer them to pieces, so I don’t use them as much as I would like too.

Nope, this will be the first year with them. I'll probably put them as trailers on spinners or on Ned rigs. Experimentation.

I never thought to use them as spinnerbait trailers, I bet that would work pretty well.  I wish that the heads were more round and a little bigger so that they could be more easily rigged with the body in a vertical orientation.

Tatula SV came in yesterday! Now to decide in a rod.

Didn’t realize until this morning there is a 20% off sale going on one of the online tackle sites.  Pretty sure we can’t say it here but the code is FISH18

Thanks @NorthernBasser! Been looking at those, but have heard the sensitivity isn't that great. This will be my jig setup so want as much sensitivity as I can get. It's such a good deal though!

Really? Where'd you hear that about the sensitivity?

Maybe not that great isn't the right term, but couple guys said it in here:

Would love to hear your thoughts in there

I haven't used the Sierra yet. I did just buy one few weeks ago from TW tho, which I plan on using for jigs (7'3" heavy). The thing feels GREAT in my hands. The micro guides will just help with sensitivity.

 

I've read numerous reviews that say it's very sensitive. Also have seen posts here talking it up (I'll look in a sec). I know the guys at Tactical Bassin' have good things to say about it. 

 

It's such a good deal I had to get one. I have some Fury's, which I really. And from what I hear the Sierra is quite the step up.

 

edit- Here's one thread talking about them.

Mine is super sensitive to me, definetly a big step up from the Fury. It's my nicest rod so I dont have anything else to compare it to.

Picked this up off Craigslist today for $160. 7'1" MH. I love the internet.

Shimano Aldebaran. Had thank you points on my credit card,  I usually cash them in at the beginning of the year. Got it for almost half price.

I didn't realize this was a thread until right now.  I haven't fished bass seriously in about 15 years so I have had to buy all new stuff over the last few weeks.  I'm about to start posting some photos of my purchases over the last week...

I'd say that's a pretty good start.

My brother helped me beat the bait monkey today. He does the estate sales, yard sales, garage sales, liquidation sales, auctions and then sells the better stuff on eBay to make a living. More or less his lower end stuff that he'll never use. Some used, some new. He was going to just give it too me for free but in the end $10 for beer. 

[Flatrock]

I might have some of you beat this yr as far as money spent...  One can't do any serious fishing with out a boat..  Then I've had to buy all the stuff that goes with a boat.  Then there were a few packages of grubs. 

BTW, I found a Black and yellow spinner in a tree at the lake I was fishing at today...  just in case any of you lost one

OK you win. I can't afford $18 grand in plastic worms. 

[Carolina Rig]

Glad someone finally replied, it wouldn’t let me add a picture until someone did!

 

Several more photos after this if folks will keep posting.  Hoping to buy a boat on 1/20, as well, when I get to Texas.

Off to a good start but still have a ways to go to get to Master Hoarder Level like A-Jay.

That is a lot of stuff, personally I am a minimalist when it comes to tackle.

I usually am; but, my excitement to start fishing again coincided with a pretty good sale at Cabela’s.  Also, I found out Tackle Warehouse had a discount for veterans and I took advantage of it!
