A couple of nice 5-1/2-g spoons - the white spoon is gold on the other side.  

The 5.5-g plug is a hoot - Jackson Bottom Magic - it's only purpose is to make mudballs (I swapped the bronzed hooks for Owner salty).  

Wish I had it at Estes in Feb when we released 45 redfish, bottom-bouncing anything we could in a tide pass.  

All to fish on my BFS rig, which I just got into casting shape today.  

That's a 2 g jighead, and I was consistently casting 90-100'

Last one for a while. Now to wait for the rod & reel to arrive from preorder/backorder.

I found one of these a few months ago and fell in love with it. I lost it about a month ago, then one day I was walking along the bank and stopped to tie my shoe, and there was my lure, right by my foot. I caught no fish that day, but (re)finding that lure made my day.

Since it's still 2-1/2 weeks to bass opener and the crappie are running - picked up some stuff for chasing them. Jig under bobber is what's been attracting them...so that's what I'm going with.

 

Ken what’s in that package above the bobbers? They look like black washers.

Nice selection. What size are the jigs?

The one's here are 1/16 and 1/8 - I already had 1/32 and 1/4.

I'll bet you didn't even look at the clothes on sale did you!

I looked at them just long enough to nose my way over to the fishing side of sporting goods. Just so happens.....the clothes she wanted to look at were across the aisle from the soft plastics. As soon as she had to go to the restroom, I some how managed to find myself holding all the lures I listed previously. It was almost like it was premeditated.

Been following their drops for a long time and landed a couple 9's and jokers, but I was pretty excited to finally land this one that's been at the top of my list for quite a while.

[EWREX]

hoping to get a nice kicker with one of these during this sunday’s tournament

[Dangerfield]

Hit up Cabela's for their spring sale, took a flyer on the AG Revo Beast X baitcaster over the Tatula 150. It's a beauty little sleeper reel, need to secure some 65lb maxcuatro for big baits. Grabbed a couple of the new crosseyez chatterbait, 3/8oz in pearl ghost.

That looks like a dead fish in a box with hooks attached haha. Reminds me

of the real samples they had in college that were preserved in formalin

I needed some Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG hooks, so... as Academy is on my way home...I got some. Also got some Peg-It’s to try, as well as a pack of o-rings for wacky rigs. I needed some new 3.25” Rage Swimmers as I used the last one a week ago (that’s likely a penalty in the eyes of the Almighty BM), and picked up a pack of #196 Senkos (pumpkin w/black and green flake) as the color caught my eye. Also picked up a 1/4 oz Z Man chatterbait in brown/black, and as they had zero Megabass on the rack, I got a 6th Sense Provoke 106 jerkbait in American Shad.

After fishing the big river last week in dirty water and over cast skies decided to pick some stuff up.  I knew the DT-10 was scheduled for delivery today but the project z chatter bait 3 pack were not scheduled until Monday.  Now I have them for fishing the river Tommrow.  That DT is bright bright red I don’t think they will have any issue finding it. 
 

hopefully y this project Z will get deeper in the holes

Every time I tell myself that’s it I seem to find another order on its way to me a short time later ? Picked up a new finesse setup with a Daiwa Tatula 7’ MF paired up with a Daiwa Procyon AL 2500XH. Also grabbed a few more packs of the Maxscent Creature Hogs that I’ve been having good luck with, and some free rig weights so I can try fishing them with the Creature Hogs.

Killer rod

I had to heed the Bait Monkey’s call again. I needed some new Neko Machos, so TW to the rescue!

 

Also needed a resupply of #956 Senkos, and figured I’d rather get free shipping, so I added a Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait lol. 

 

 

Neko Macho Watrmln Copper Org Red Laminate 4.5"	1
Neko Macho Generals Watermelon 4.5"	1
Yama 4" Senko Watrmln Copper Orange Red Laminate	2
Vision 110 Gill                  1

Okay, last one before the opener.

 

 

I was running low on Flukes and one thing lead to another... You know how it is. Even got some 3/8oz round drop shot weights to try out the whole "powershot" rig thing.

[Bluebasser86]

Finally beat all the guys that must just constantly sit on their phones and wait for bait drops. Excited to add this one to the collection.

 

Your package from Bullshad Swimbaits, LLC is on its way

I forgot about this on my recent parts and JDM braid purchase.  As long as I'm ordering from Japan, always check the bargain bins for interesting lures.  

Turns any finesse jig into a buzz bait.  

I'm a sucker for buzz baits. 

[BrianMDTX]

So, technically not a “purchase”, as my taxidermist back home (he lives in DE) sent me all these soft plastics for free. 
 

Some are new but most look vintage. He particularly mentioned these JW Lures Ding-a-ling worms. Anyone ever use these? They look good!

Stopped by Bass Pro Shop yesterday, had a gift card from my birthday. 

[Derek1]

New spinnerbait/swim jig rod came in today. Another poster said it right when they said a clean and simple yet classy build. I like it. Ordered from ***. 48 hours  exactly. from the time I ordered to at my door, with the $5.99 3-5 day delivery. I’m  Impressed. Gonna take it out this afternoon. Feels like it’s a touch on the faster side of moderate fast. That I like. Looking forward to taking it out. 

[BrianMDTX]

Looks good. Falcon builds some great looking rods. 

[Bluebasser86]

Package arrived today ?
