Was finally able to snag an original KGB 7" TSG. Missed out on plenty of drops but this color spoke to me.

Let's GO!   The excitement of "winning" a KGB bait is like catching a big Bass.

That colorway is dynamite, Kevin from KGB says bone patterns are his favorite.

 

Trying to be patient for the Threadfin colorway to be released again, there is another drop today a 12pm cst, and then another one later this evening I think.

I'm going to be good and not buy any more 7s, but I will probably add a 9 to the collection eventually.

Ya - I have a CA80 XS on my pitching rig...good reel.

 

Shipped from Amazon JP, but found on Amazon US site.

https://www.amazon.com/Daiwa-Bait-Right-Handle-Model/dp/B07MJZXQK1?th=1

 

And - another day, another delivery. Between the sale price, a gift card and points, I paid $80 for this new.

What was the sale price and the website?

ALF - send an E-Mail to 'secret@americanlegacyfishing.com' asking about the Daiwa Secret sale - get a code for 25% off all Daiwa. Reel is the 2019 model, not the new 2023 model. Code reduces the base price to $119.99

[MN Fisher]

Latest delivery - this year is going to be light...basically filling in things here and there.

Not sure if deep cycle batteries is considered "tackle" but here is today's purchase.  I replaced two size 27 lead-acid deep cycle batteries with these AGM Duracells from Batteries Plus.  Each battery was 18% off, I received a $24 trade in on each of the old battery cores, and they come with a 30 month warranty.  This place is 4 miles from my house so any warranty claims should be about as painless if possible, should I need to do that.  I usually get about 3-4 years out of the lead acid batteries so I am hoping a set of AGMs last longer. Hoping for 6+ seasons.

I also got some tackle adjacent stuff this week.

 

Got one of these from Amazon, I couldn't find a decent one locally and Frabill doesn't have local dealers.

 

Also got a couple of Simms pieces, including that ExStream jacket in what I'm calling "Starfleet command gold". Found the last one in my size in a Spanish tackle store, I'm not really a fan of the current version of the ExStream, cheaper insulation material and a more bland design. I had two of these in larger sizes and I just had to grab this one.

 

Also snagged a pair of Costas during their Black Friday sale (Broadbill with green mirror lenses and Tuna Alley with Sunrise Silver), 50% off each + 30% off the second pair.

 

I still have an order of Zebco, Abu Garcia, and Strike King spoons on the way for winter zander fishing.

 

So that's it for this year. Definitely. Maybe. I think. I might pick up another rod before Christmas, that 7'5" heavy is still in my open browser tabs. 😅

 

[JohnFromLisbon]

Here are the cheapo Zebco spoons and a couple of Strike King ones that will hopefully get me through the winter for zander fishing.

ALF sales this year where amazing. I'm a Omnia premium member, I got like $50 store credit and still ended up buying an Expride B from ALF. 

 

TW sales where I think pretty gray.

Just binged out on 1/4 oz Bitsy bugs and Berkeley chunk trailers along with the Strike King Tungsten Compact Tour jigs in 1/4 oz. FYI the new tour grade compact jigs from Strike King appear to be a a modern day upgrade to the Bitsy Bug….Tungsten head, slightly meatier hook, a little better action.

 

Got 8 Alpha rods in the cart as well ready to go along with some Bantams and Mets from Digitaka as soon as they replenish stock.

 

I love the off season 😁

This arrived yesterday - ya, another Digitaka purchase and the second of this reel model I now own.

What a great forum! I've been stocking up on so many discounted lures this season. Has anyone else noticed that some websites are practically giving away fishing gear as they unload for the winter? I've picked up rods, reels, and so much tackle I don't know what to do with it. And I feel like I haven't spent more than $100. Anyone else seeing this? Fish on.

[Peacedivision]

The monkey got me today. These are still up if anyone's interested.

4 late summer and 3 black friday orders.  Nothing I needed but can't say no to cheap Rage craws and Demons.

 

I don't normally spend my cash at BPS but this is the nicest backpack style bag I've found (needed something for the plane).  I also picked up another Diawa Ardito travel rod and a dozen neoprene Rod Gloves. 

 

I might be done with fishing purchases this year but we'll see;)

My fellow KGB addict......I got a Threadfin today as well, but dang I wanted to double dip on the Sexy Shad TSG.   The flash on it is incredible.   

 

Been waiting on that Threadfin since I got cart jacked months ago during the first drop.     

 

Now it's race to see who get's there's first.....they ship so fast 😁

[RipzLipz]

…..not that I have any room to talk.

….and probably not done yet.

Saw those threadfins on IG about 2 minutes after they were posted and already sold out lol. But I swore no more 7s, was just waiting on a nice 9"

And hopefully down big basses throats maybe a couple times too. 😌🎣
