Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)

ALF's in house monkey got me. They're running a number of unadvertised sales right now.

Omnia's line sale snagged me - going lighter on my finesse rigs, thereby the 8# 832...also decided to give this Sniper stuff a try given the sale price.

I love Sniper. Tho I've only used it on casting gear (not counting leader on spinning setups). I still use KVD line conditioner on it the majority of the time.

I'm of the opinion, "If it's not braid, it gets KVD treated" - I even treated the Tatsu I'd gotten gifted with.

Partially - but also going lighter on my regular finesse rig...just dropping from 10# to 8# on that one.

With the way the Esox around here steal baits...not something I could afford to lose....if I could afford it.

 

Good luck with it, man.

Got a gift card for Father’s Day.  Used it to pick up some summertime favorites.

You throwing that beast on a muskie rod?? 

[Rockhopper]

Mail call!

Also just picked up this backpack from Cabela’s. Tons of space. I have 12 total 3600's that fit in it.

As a bank angler, that backpack makes me jealous. 😆 I've got a decent one myself, but that's got so much space. 

[Rockhopper]

That pack fully loaded is way way way too heavy for bank fishing. 😂

 

I actually have the small Cabela's sling pack for bank fishing.  Use it once in awhile bass fishing, always in the kayak, and mostly for steelhead bank fishing when I am not in the drift boat.  Comes with (and holds) two 3600's, and enough room for about 10 bags of plastics.  Perfect for a few hours of fishing.  Hard to beat for the price.

So is mine. Lol.  It holds almost all the tackle and baits I own. It's pretty heavy. I take it off when I get to a spot, fish, and then pick it up and move on. Although, when I wade the river, I wear it the whole time.

Been on a Geecrack kick lately. Finally got my hands on some cue bombs.

I've had a ton of luck on the Bellows Shad and 3.8 Stick in the last week or so - awesome! I'm saving my Cue Bombs for a canoe day :)

I love the smell of the Bellows Gill. Very unique scent. I'm guessing the Shad has the same scent? 

[AlabamaSpothunter]

Bought a pack of Bellow's Gill 3.8 a month or two ago.......was very worried about their durability.......make a few casts, catch a small fish on one, and immediately the bait goes flying off with its first jump. 

 

So much to like about the bait, the SAF material, the design, but ultimately their is no way I'm fishing a bait that cost over $1 per bait, and lasts only one fish.     

 

Hopefully the Deps Bull Flat are more durable, gonna try those one of these days.

I have a cheapo verison of this carhartt sling bag that I use walking the river. I love it because it forces me to bring only a few baits which is helpful for my back.
