For those who know, you know.

Some assembly required. I like it.

That’s just the way I bought it, so I can paint it myself. Andrew also sells complete glides. This and his trout are two of the best glides hands down, at least imho

Bizz Baits Black Friday for the win!!! Killer Kraws, Baby Bizz Bugs and a couple packs of Dizzy Diamonds and Sassy Sticks to try for the first time next season. 

The Baby Bizz Bugs made a bit of a comeback for me last year. I've used them heavily as jig trailers for years now, but I had some insane action rigging them alone on a Cadman's Smallie Crawlin jig in high river water.

I do really well with the Killer Kraws, but they were hitting a jig or Kraw 1:2 compared to the Baby Bizz. Needless to say, I burned through my stores and needed this stick up bad!

 

With this order I'm pretty well stocked up on plastic, Siebert jigs, Cadman's Smallie Crawlin jigs, hard baits.... Any extra gear bought would be purely Bait Monkey fodder at this point ????

Purchased by someone (identity unknown) on BR and sent to me via Fishmas 2019. My score and I like it!

My local DSG had sk 8XD marked down under $10+ buy five get five. These came in at just about $5/ crank after the discounts.

I saved $1220 total.

 

I mean, if you also used a cash back credit card, they're practically paying YOU to get all that stuff   

 

Nice haul, sir!

Black Friday goodies, ordered a rod too but it had issues so I had to exchange, replacement should be here Wednesday 

[jbsoonerfan]

I purchased a Baby Bull shad as part of my BF order. I am highly impressed with it out of the box. I look forward to throwing it.

[FishTank]

Once again DSG got me.....  After all the discounts $63.  I have been looking for a swimbait rod for quite some time.  I was able to try this guy's big brother, the 8'6'' model, earlier this year and it was impressive.  I did notice the difference in most reel seat placements between a bass swimbait rod and a musky rod and of course the rod arc is different but this rod is just slightly softer (for a musky rod).  I like how I can work baits with end of the rod pressed against my side (it is different though).   For the price, I thought I couldn't beat it.

Awesome. How did you get a mojo bass so cheap?

[galyonj]

Literally just opened my box from 6th sense. I got some stuff off their sale page that looked pretty good for how I like to fish.

 

• Quake THUD 70 – Red Proof
• Quake THUD 70 – Crawfish Clone
• Cloud 9 MiniMag - Gizzard Shad
• Cloud 9 C10 - Chrome-Treuse Shad
• SplashBack 90 - Shad Greens
• Curve 55 - Ghost Missouri Craw

 

I'm real excited about these THUDs. I love big knockers.

[Harold Scoggins]

Mail Call. Custom made, extra large whip finishing tool.

[galyonj]

I dunno anything about fly fishing, but that thing looks real neat.

Clearance for $104 - 25% off sale and I had a $20 off of $100 coupon from Black Friday.  They had two but the other one was the 8'6'' model and I was not quite sure how I was going to get it home, plus I would need to get another monster reel.   I decided one was enough.  I'll be putting a Revo Toro Beast on this thing.  We'll see what happens come spring time. 

[FishinBuck07]

That should make tying bass jigs easier!

ABSOLUTELY ?!

Welp, I'm screwed. I've acquired swimbait fever from mr monkey.  I reached full fever pitch a few weeks a go when I purchased a toxic baits wake n crank for more than I spent on my last rod purchase. I was starting to feel better then out of the blue a flash fever struck and I now have a 6 inch triple trout enroute. Please send help.

All I can say is get something that'll handle those at a reasonable price.

Stay away from swimbait universe. It's making me a swimbait crazy person and I hardly throw them. Heck I'm considering a custom build rod. Stay far away. Those custom bait drops are like Crack to the monkey.

Dick's let you take the 25% off of a St.Croix rod? I'm jealous, they never let me.

I got my Chad Shad from their last drop. It looks amazing in the water but I was afraid to keep fishing it because my guides were icing up so fast I was afraid it was going to make me cast it off. I don't know how some of those guys aggord their collections. 

[EWREX]

the bait monkey (jackall) strikes again! i also needed these.... right?
