1st of two Mojo rods

I think you’ll like the mojos. I’ve got three of them.

And Round #1 of TW shipments is in - Round #2 should be here middle of next week

 

Flashbacks fill in my chatter weight-grouping - already had 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in my box

Bull Gill gives me 3 colors of that - already had Bluegill and Crappie.

1st of two Mojo rods - it was either 2 Mojos or 1 more Victory...didn't have enough for 2 more Victorys...this replaces my Fury 703SF which is moving to the panfish arsenal.

I hate those Flashback Minis.....they don't catch any fish at all ?

First BF-sale delivery of completely unnecessary super necessary stuff.? I'll find out tomorrow if this stick will help to really send a 1/32oz weighted TRD out to smile-making distances.

 

That's gonna launch 'em!

Still waiting for the first installment of my TW order to get here...but this arrived today.

 

Found a place online that was divesting itself of old stock. This was still New-In-Box...$90

They’re great reels

I've always loved Pflueger - for casting I have a President XT 7.3, a Supreme 7.1, this Supreme XT 6.4, a Patriarch 7.1 and a Patriarch 7.9

I have the President XT 7:1 as well and a Supreme XT 7:1. Both joys to fish with. For a reel <$100 I don’t think the President XT can be beat.

Well, considering I got my two Patriarchs used for under $100 each...

Not had any luck at the pond with swim baits but those Bull Gills look mighty tempting. The Baby Bull Gills are on clearance now at TW. Trying to not fall under the bait monkey’s spell again. ?

I agree ~

I'd buy Jackall and MegaBass products even if they weren't fish magnets.    LuckyCraft is the other big hardbait company that shares the unique qualities of those first two in my experience.   

 

You can always spot their baits in a box filled with various mfg'rs baits in it as they ooze quality, refinement, and sophistication.    

 

The Japanese monkey is the one who steals my wallet the most it seems, I throw out all reason and rational when I see the shiny perfected finishes, or the incredible detail and realism to them.    

 

For as good as they look, they 9/10 times are even more effective due to incredible actions and subtle nuances that other companies can't quite match.

I did it. The bass bait monkey didn’t get me for any bass lures! Musky bait monkey got me today with 6 double 8’s inlines, 1 double 9 in-line, and a t shirt for under 80. Don’t see many half off musky lure deals.

Last time out in the kayak I realized I didn't want to get my feet wet during winter and my wading boots weren't going to cut it with the pdl. Got these on a significant discount at Kittery and they're comfy and a lot lighter than I anticipated.

I have these boots. They are great but be advised they are waterproof but do absorb water on the outside and your feet can get cold with a standard pair of socks. I wear either wool boot socks or a pair of Sealskins.

XX% off for another Tat 150 and some finesse-y trinkets was simply too much for my tender heart to bear, so I smashed the BUY button! Weeee!

Yes my first Tat 300. I fish a Revo Beast 60, Lew's Wide Spool, and aTranx 400. This past year I picked up 2 Tatula 100s and have been very impressed, so I had to try a 300. Kinda scary with me being a mostly Shimano guy.?

Just like stocking foot waders, go 1 shoe size up to allow for heavy thermal socks and you'll be able stand in near freezing water and remain reasonably comfortable for hours.

Great reels. The new Curado 300 with old timey VBS is fantastic too if you get another itch. So nice. You'll really appreciate the Tat 300 with heavy copoly, fluoro, or mono. It just flows out of the reel, and the cranking power is sweet.
