I'm blaming this on Bassresource.com when the wife comes at me with a fry'n pan.......I took this pic 2 hours ago, I had to go help my mother and on the way home I stopped at a tackle shop near her house. Now there are 2 Strike King 2.5's (chili craw)  added to the collection that are not pictured. The St. Croix is 20 miles away at the Fed-Ex terminal, be here tomorrow. And the Lews Get'r back lure retriever will be here next week. Guess I will be sling'n crank baits in 2017 just got to make myself lay the jig rod down.

I was going to buy the Shimano CI4+ but decided instead to pick up a pair of Costa Del Mar Fisch Blackout & Blue Mirror. I already have a pair of Maui Jims with copper lens so I wanted something with a gray base for those bright summer days.

Took advantage of the $20 off orders of $100 or more from Dick's.

 

Have a cheap rod and some hooks for the horny toads still coming.

[QUAKEnSHAKE]

Today my girlfriend surprised me and took me to bass pro to pick out my Christmas gift instead of getting something that I didn't like and having to return it I chose a 7'10" MH/M Abu Garcia Ike cranking stick

That is pretty awesome. I had some nice gifts purchased for the GF as well. She had some for me but as of a few days ago we are no longer a thing. Guess I will be exchanging her gifts and just using the funds to order a few fishing related things to get me by.

I participated in a secret santa in another group. I received my package today. Can't be mad about that one bit.

I like the look of those Megabass worms.  

 

I tried to go river fishing today but it was too cold and the water too turbid, but I did catch some tackle on the way home.

 

I realized the other day that other then some z-man ones for panfish, I had never really fished a grub and that wouldn't do.  The 4" Ocho worms are the best four inch stickbait that I have found in terms of action and they are thin enough to rig on the 1/0 twistlocks I like to use for my light river tackle.  The jerkbait is just to build up my arsenal a bit and they are the cheapest ones I have found that actually suspend in a meaningful way.  My new "plan" is to fish a jerkbait until I catch on it or lose it every trip until I figure them out.

I picked this 7'3" Heavy H2O XPRESS™ Ethos Nano Casting Rod up yesterday.

It was on clearance and I had a lonesome reel that matched the blue so well it was like it was meant to be.

Those Fat Alberts are the bomb. I use them more than any other grub. I bought a bunch when my local Wallyworld put them on sale. They also make good spinner bait trailers.

I've developed over the past few months a sickening addiction to $25 Megabass Ito Vision 110 jerkbaits. It's maybe a matter of confidence or imagination, but when I tie on other brands, I don't catch as much. It all started when I was dazzled by a Sexy French Pearl at Dick's. Now it's my disease.

[S. Sass]

If your gonna have a disease that would be a good one to have. 

[TxHawgs]

 

Beast Coast, Live Target and TW stuff.

My latest treasures include a Daiwa Revros 2500, the three Rio Rico Blems from the tacklewarehouse sale, 6 packs of Owner treble replacement hooks with the eye turned the right way (thanks J Francho), and one Norman Scorpion off of Amazon just because I love the concept. I have a lake in mind that gets super weedy that I caught a decent bass this year on a Johnson's Silver Minnow spoon trying to find something to throw, I think the Scorpion could do well in that situation. Or considering that they didn't sell and have no reviews it might be a dud...

@rippin-lips are you too good for our secret santa?? LOL just kidding, you got a nice haul on that one, and those bobbit worms are really cool

 

@kickerfish1 are those "legit" Ricos or the blemished ones that TW just had on sale? I bought 3 of the blems and almost chose the exact same colors as you - john murray bass, blue/chartreuse, and lightning shad
