Me to the lady over the last couple of months: "Stop ordering so much clothing off Torrid."

This is my life to. I ask my lady"how much have you spent on zyia this winter?" She says "well how much have you spent on tackle warehouse?". Well we aren't talking about that so shut your dirty little mouth!

Glad the weather really decided to take a dump right when this little guy showed up so I won't get to use it for a while ?

That's a cool looking bait! What is it?

It's a "Little G". A local guy makes them and it looked like a good option for my crankbait eating and gizzard shad loving power plant bass.

Ordered some shoes and these Yozuri 2.5's from Sierra.  They have a mesmerizing translucent finish.

Just got the rod in that I preordered a while ago for my new tube and shakey head setup that I am going to use this season. Megabass Levante Enforcer paired with a Tatula LT 3000.

I haven’t looked at Sierra Trading Post in awhile ,assuming that’s who you are referring to. Bought a couple fishing items from there including a rod a few years ago,well packaged and shipped  on their end. Was looking at some live target goby soft baits but got them from Dicks toward the end of last season. Almost pulled the trigger on a St.Croix legend glass rod last year only had a one year warranty as I recall but kicking myself in the rear end for not pulling  the trigger on that one.

I set myself up for this one but probably the last big one for awhile (if the monkey doesn't get me for another rod before the years over).  The LC Fat CBBDS2 baits are getting tougher to find but great baits.  The prices are getting out of control but I got lucky on ebay with them.  

 

I also posted photos on the new setup on another thread but I had to put it all together here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lucky craft BDS 1's and 2's are gold.  I got lucky a couple years ago, and found an ebay seller that had several colors in stock for the $16.99 retail price.  It's crazy to see these going for WEC money on ebay.

Have you seen Damiki's 'Bryan Thrift' squarebill?  I picked up a few from TW during the Christmas sale, and they ate remarkably close to the BDS 2.  Here are 2 of the Damiki's and 2 BDS 2's for comparison...

 

Edit....I just saw these baits are back at TW....Where have I been?

Holy Dark Sleepers!!! haha love those. Really wish I could find some JDM colors though

[Mbirdsley]

Latest eBay finds.  Top one is a lucky craft ushad 65 in aurora pro blue.  Bottom 2 are 6th sense could 9’s.  The yellow perch is a c6 ad the ozark ark craw is c10.  Kinda wish I had gotten the perch in c10 too. Should be getting a 6th sense monthly bag.  So I’ll have new stuff soon for show and tell. I really need to start selling baits  haha to make room for new baits 

 

I figure I’m roughly a month to a month and half away from possibly putting the boat in the water.  Last year first trip was March 26th.  I’m starting to get geeked up.  Hopefully the ice is gone soon

Stopped in the tackle shop to get a new spinning reel, and couldn't find anyone to help me so walked around and looked for a few.  Ended up leaving with a DT 10, a DT 16, and a Red Eyed Shad to go with the reel purchase.  Got home and the wife says thought you were just going for the reel, I said everyone was in the stock room working on their stock and didn't want to just stand at the reel counter.  She just rolled her eyes and laughed, must have been the grin on my face!!  haha

Been away from the game for a while due to some career obligations that took up literally all my time and then some, but I'm currently pretty deep in the throws of a preseason quiver shakeup and it's been fun to get back into the literal and figurative swing of things- my basement is in complete reorganizational disarray.  It's awesome.    

 

Determined to get back out on the water with some sexy new gear this summer and reconnect with my love for the obsession.  Currently liquidating one hobby's extras to grab a few new Megabass sticks and some heavy plastic to chuck, and I'm already stoked to gush over the unsheathing of a new rod.  It's good to be back!  

[Deephaven]

No pics...yet.  Stopped in and played with blanks at Thorne Bros.  New finesse spinning rod and crank bait rod are being built for me.  Should have them in a few weeks.

I like reading through this thread and seeing how happy guys are when they receive stuff the really wanted. 
 

I have/had a short list of baits I wanted for this season. Going to try some new to me X Zone stuff this season for the first time. Feel real good about it. Got all that in at Christmas. Very quick delivery from those guys. Went factory direct for my order. 
 

But I’m starting to get ants in my pants on some hardbaits that have been on backorder. Want spares of a few good producers. One is a new bait but I don’t want to take just any color patterns to get some. Sort of want what I want type of thing. They will arrive, can’t fish them today or anytime soon just got 7” more snow yesterday. The Ants are starting to bite me.
