Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)

[MN Fisher]

Just came in - this is replacing my Trion-30 in the canoe arsenal - going on a Fury 703SF

Here is most of what me and monkey has bought since Black Friday. It is TW, eBay and from 2 bait stores! Chk out those old USA gamakatsu Norman Middle N’s!!! The rod was my big buy it’s a hundred dollar Falcon China rod but seems ok so far...  

 

Anybody else like Raiseinets? They get bit every box I buy!

[NittyGrittyBoy]

It really is cool to see everyones different orders. That's what I love about this site. Other than a few commons, everyones orders are so different based on location. 

 

Its neat to see the northern guys, southern guys, western guys, etc... all ordering such a vastly different array of tackle.

I just got the first of two Quantum Icons. First impressions is I really like the grips and the reel is super smooth. Really hoping this is as solid as my older Quantum’s.

I've been loading up on hard-core YGK and Duel braids from Japan, and studying their stream trout plugs.  

Our winters on the coast consist of two things - imitating 6" mullet for a few big trout with Corky's 7/8-oz neutral-density soft "balloon" twitchbait,

and reds and many pan size trout imitating glass minnows - go-to lure is YoZuri Pins minnow S.  

My last order included a gang of 35 mm crankbaits to throw on the salty UL rockfish rod this winter, same 1/16 oz weight as 50 mm Pins S, but smaller overall, and I like the reported slow retrieve action, because reds and trout sip tiny glass minnows.  

If needed, will swap the hooks with #6 Owner single plug hooks.

Ahhhh, the monkey is a devil. It’s not like I needed more baits, but they just keep showing up. And then there was a sign confirming it...

Dude - what's really in danger is my wallet. This fall/winter has been a buying spree.

5 new reels

5 new rods

Tons of tackle

Went from 2 bags (1-3600, 1-3700) to 2 of each size.

 

The bait monkey has been mugging me every time I turn around.

Hahaha, I’m trying. It’s the fish changing their mind which one they want from day to day, if not every couple of hours ?

 

 

[bulldog1935]

you can't go wrong trying different brands - just don't mix different brands of soft baits together in your tackle trays.  The different plasticizers used in different formulations often cause the different brands of soft baits to melt together if they're touching.  

[Munkin]

Haven't been buying any new tackle but luremaking supplies are arriving all the time. Two days ago I received 6k jig hooks from Shorty's so I have some work to do.

Santa flies nonstop from Shennan-Shi to Memphis, changes planes, then picks up a Fed-Ex truck at the airport.  

I think my Corkys lure could eat one of these...

Just a few items for Christmas and a couple buried underneath. With the extra rod holder I can now have 7 rods on the front deck, but still short of what @MN Fisher can carry in his canoe lol. I just can’t give up any other vertical space without limiting my cast angles too much. Been a great Christmas so far. Also got some Liquid Mayhem scent and plastics too.

Need to trade in that space-limited thing for a canoe then.

A lead free jig haul from Siebert, tungsten button heads and button head offsets. Also some spinnerbaits. From an eBay seller also trying some tin/bismuth Ned heads.
