I caught my pb largemouth on a glide bait and my pb smallmouth on a Rago so these could be interesting.

A few more 110 SRs. Really need ice out to get here so I can stop looking at baits on the internet and start actually using them. I feel like this is the time where us northern guys are busier in this thread as we patiently wait lol -

I went into another academy and realized the extra 75% on clearance wasn’t going on any longer. Thought I had found the deal of the century. Two spools of Tatsu 20#. I don’t fish Tatsu at $63/spool. I might would fish Tatsu at $38/spool. I would definitely have fished it at 75% off of $38.00!
 

Grabbed some rod socks instead.

Was going to get some rod socks, but thinking about it, a lot of my rods don't have baitholders, and I don't like hooking lures on the reel itself.  It's just a me thing, really.

So instead of rod socks, I went and got some lure covers instead.  Dirt cheap, and I really like 'em.

Terminator walking frogs at my local tackle shop on clearance for $3.74. If I remember right @gim is a fan of these, and I think $3.74 is almost 1/3 of their msrp. I’ll see how I like them this summer!

I'm a fan of the terminator spinnerbaits.  I've used the frogs before a few times, and I did not have any complaints.  I can't get any bites on frogs anymore though so I rarely toss them.

 

Regardless, you found a good deal.  Watch out for pike slashes tho.

Hit a local fishing Flea Market today just seeing what was there. One guy was selling soft plastics $1 a bag and had a lot of good stuff. Ended up buying the entire tub of baits for $70. Counted when I got home and ended up with 121 full and 48 partial packs. The Jackal cross tail shads and Yamamoto Shad shape worms along were worth $70. If anyone is a kids bass fishing coach that needs some trick worms send me a message as I have like 15 packs I will donate.
