2017 Fishmas Loot

[Alan Reed]

I’ll get this started cause I’m like a little kids when new fishing stuff arrives and I had to open right away.

 

If someone would like to let me know who sent this I will thank them.

[CroakHunter]

nice! Someone did their research it looks like.

[fishballer06]

Since we're starting, I'll post my loot as well. 

 

Clayton knocked it out of the park! He must have really done his research. The Crock O Gator is a bait I've been wanting to try and he even got it in my favorite color. He also got me a Showerblow and 6th Sense squarebill in my go to color - bluegill. Then I also got some of his famous handmade vibrating jigs. Then he topped it off with some Damiki rig swimbait heads. I might have to get some more of those off him. 

 

Well done @Bluebasser86!

Oh my goodness, I love Jigs! Thank you! I received my package from Siebert Outdoors and these are great! I always have a jig and a Strikeback Spinner bait tied on. I'd had a couple of those before and really like them. My husband was real excited too. I have a feeling he'll be "borrowing" a couple for the next tournament. We will both have a jig tied on for the Southern Open.

I was going for perch/bluegill colors hoping that was the main forage you have there. That buzzbait is my favorite of theirs, caught some really big ones on it. The swimbait heads are actually ones I made too. Just got the mold in time to send you a couple

I love seeing this thread every year. Can't wait to see more of what folks have gotten.

Figured it might help fill up that wall a little bit at least.

Still waiting for my lump of coal.

Awesome haul!  Thanks @fishballer06

Sent mine today. Should find its way to a doorstep somewhere Friday. 

 

Excuse the wrap job.

Well, someone did their research. Didn't leave a screen name so I will just say thank you very much!!!

 

I posted a report sometime this past summer where I believe I switched from bass fishing to pan fishing because the bass weren't biting. I coined the term Slonezp Rig for a Gulp minnow hanging underneath a bobber. The Slonezp Rig caught more bass than the bass baits I happened to be throwing that day. This is what I received...and again, Thank You!

Got my package from @slonezp. A couple 3700 trays that you can never have enough of, a pliers/scissors kit that went straight into my kayak bag so I can get rid of the rusty multi-tool I'm cussing every time I have to try to use them, and a pack each of YUM Dingers and PitBosses, neither of which you can ever have too many of. Sorry for the not so great picture, it was the only one I took before I had the boxes filled up the pliers/scissors stowed away. Thank you slonezp!

I didn't want to be known as the guy who gives out lures that don't work, so i opted for tools and storage. Enjoy.

Didn’t know if we were supposed to put our forum names on the gifts, so I didn’t. Hope that new rig kit treats you well! Feel free to post pictures of all the massive bass it catches. 

[Vinjints]

was the Slonezp letter part of the original post, or included in the package?  I think that's the best part, personally.

I included it the in package. When you’ve got a tournament grade rig kit, the branding needs to be on point. It’s a tough market out there. 

[Siebert Outdoors]

Thank you AJAY!  All I can say is wow!  The paint job on these custom color Rapalas is sweet.  The picture definitely does not do the baits justice.  He even put the G Finesse hooks on for me.  Then the buff tops it off.

 

Merry Christmas all.

Ain't that the truth? All I have to do now is figure out how to not lose the rat to a musky.

@wisconsin heat awesome package of baits, i see you did some research definitely looking forward to throwing the Norman next year.

And I actually really like the mini bluegill swimbait. 

Merry fishmas bud hope you have a great weekend

 I’ll blow through that pack of craws and I’m looking forward to trying out those keitech tubes. Trick darter and square bill just got rigged up!

Chad, aka norcalbassin,  nailed it. A rainbow hud, in rof 5, perfect for my home lake that has rainbows stocked. I've had my eye on that jackall, swings always work...and that kicka$$ tackle warehouse mug is awesome. Thanks brother, you couldn't have done better.
