Two more Halo HFX rods on the way, Spro frog in Killer Gill, a few Stick Jackets, Owner offset worm hooks, Pline Tactical 15lb, Pline xbraid 40lb are the latest hauls.

 

And a $13k federal income tax return hasn’t even deposited yet ?

 

$13K and that's all you got? Slacker! Bait Monkey is not happy.

Some more Berkley max scent plastics 

3 packs Lil general

1 pack Lil trooper

1 pack king tail 

1 pack chigger craw

Yep I might have enough max scent plastics to form my opinion on it this year, I have probably 50 or more other packs of maxscent assorted plastics lol.

That was just my warm up order ?. Of course now that I said that; one of the cars will probably need repairs, tuition to my daughters college will get paid, small bills paid off to be 100% debt free…….I’ll be lucky if I get two packs of freaking senkos! 
 

This person called the wife, and the four other called kids really mess with my priorities ?

Got these for $0.77 or so from Chyna…cheap experiment lol. Hardware is trash. Both labeled as 15g but silver one is noticeably smaller. Going to change out hooks and give them a go 

Update on these. The red one is much better than the silver. The silver has to be pulled hard for 2-4 feet before it’ll flutter. The red one, which is larger (even though both say 15g) flutters immediately. Can’t find a reason why I wouldn’t throw it over the vaults I really like. Only issue, is how do you make sure that’s the size you get?? Bought from same seller and both were supposed to be the same but just different colors.

Fair point. Will say one thing tho...if Iowa had a team I bet they wouldn't have a quarterback that would get his collar bone broke from a stiff breeze.

I have 2 of the four, the Legend Glass M Mod. and the 873 CRR. Both of these rods are amazing. At the time I couldn't get a Mag Bass NRX+ so I ended up with the CCR.  It's weird how it bridges the gap between the JWR and the MBR line.  The Legend Glass though, is one of my favorite rods. It's like the perfect crankbait rod.  

 

Nice choices. Enjoy.

Thank you. I have wanted to try the original nrx 894 but the only time I saw one local I didn't have the money. I recall hearing a lot about the 873 and legend glass rods being really good. It's been a little over a year since I saw one, so I had to grab it when I seen it this time. That brings my Loomis collection up to 5 rods now, 843 and 844mbr conquest, 894 JWR glx and now these two NRX+. It's slowly coming together. Now if only this ice would go to be able to test them out. Then add my last rod purchase before it iced up a st croix victory mh f I have five new rods to put through there paces. I am going to be very busy in a good way.

I might use it a little for frogging, I am thinking that it might be ok for some light punching and some 1.5oz grass jigs. I thought about waiting for the new ones to be released, but I figured why not give it a try. I have noticed that the new Expride rods have a different action to them, although I don't go off of  what it says until it's in my hands and I can compare it to other rods in the store.I was highly considering buying a p5 destroyer rod, the x-bites but it just felt a little softer than what I was looking for.
