It's been a rough couple weeks.

Ultrex

gen 4 revo premier

ALX Enox

The rod and reel were on sale, Ultrex unfortunately was not.

Has been a very difficult battle with the bait monkey this Black Friday/Cyber Monday. I staved him from getting into the boat fund I am building for Spring and have made zero purchases so far.

 

Now I just have to keep him controlled for the Christmas sales.

I got my Tackle Warehouse Black Friday email at 9:39 PM Thursday night. At 9:46 selfsame night I had spent $468 after the discounts. You either order early or end up with lots of backorders. 

Two or three of the lures on my wishlist for a month before Black Friday were on backorder already. Not a big deal, but of everything I bought, only two on backorder wasn't bad!

Stocked up on stuff for the 2019 season going to start fishing club tournaments and see where it takes me.

Black Friday Round 1

 

I have wanted to give Slug-go's a try for years but the price always put me off.  Found them for like $4-5 per bag so I thought I would give them a go.  The 6" ones are lighter and softer then I expected.  I am looking for a "bigger/heavier/more durable then a 5" senko" plastic to fish weightless around pads next season.  Trickworms are the go-to for most of my tackle but are a bit too light for some of my heavier rods. 

[Joshua van Wyk]

Did not buy a single thing!!! Take that bait monkey!

[NorcalBassin]

Well, the bait monkey hit me with a sledge hammer to make up everyone that abstained. I'd been saving up to upgrade my swimbait and hardbait collection, and BF took care of that and more.

That duo realis pencil is hands down my favorite walking bait.  It is so effortless to walk.  Nice order by the way!

I love the Megabass diamanté. I picked one up a couple years ago and it’s become my go to walking bait. It darts side to side and has some awesome action and sound. I usually am a popper guy but I’ll throw the diamanté when I’m looking for a bigger bite. 

[gilkeybr]

The first wave of Black Friday stuff showed up...i'm not proud of my lack of self control.  I do appreciate whoever gave the tip of getting the free t-shirt in your wife's size!  Hopefully that helps get me in the clear!  Biospawn's 40% off was hard to pass up, as well as TW doing an extra 10% off on 6th Sense stuff.

 

Didn't realize how many jigs I had until I ordered a box that was too small to fit them all...whoops!

Still waiting on some odds and ends.  Took the 20% off BF deal as a chance to put myself on the Curado DC waiting list.  

[Dangerfield]

Alright, I've seen a handful of you take advantage of the 6th Sense discount. I wanna see some member reviews on the Flow Glider 130

[Boomstick]

As promised, here is my Tackle Warehouse Black Friday purchases. Sorry my girlfriend's phone does not take very good pictures, and I did not want to ask my oldest son to borrow his camera as the reel and the Mojo Bass Topwater rod are Christmas presents...

 

Tagging @Burke as he requested pics in another thread.

So after much research on this site I ended up picking up a St Croix premier MH moderate action rod from TWs BF sale. Not a big splash, but for my budget and needs spending 100 to 200 more there wasn’t enough benefit to pull the trigger. To be honest it was also difficult to find higher end rods in the moderate action I prefer as well. 

 

The big big surprise after reading horror stories of rods being broken during shipment, was how TW packaged the rod. The rod was in the original rap with bubble wrap on the tip and the tube weighed a ton and is probably darn near bulletproof;) Comparing this to how my rod from cabelas was shipped I would for sure order a rod from TW again and they included it in the free shipping. 

[J Francho]

The tubes are nice for storage in the off season.  I can usually get three bubble wrapped rods in one tube.

No school like old school. I love Slug-gos. I've got a bunch in various sizes including some 3 inch I use for drop shotting and a more finesse approach. You're gonna enjoy them.
