"Off season tackle purchases"

[MassYak85]

The offseason is spent buying things I think I need. Then during the season I realize what I actually need...

 

I actually haven't bought that much tackle wise so far. I did get a couple new rods and a reel but that was just to upgrade some other setups, no net gain of equipment really. I have been buying some clothing and other kayak related stuff in anticipation of the summer though.

Since the new year, I think I've bought about the following:

 

20 Pre-Rap Warts

6 RC 1.5's

8 Siebert jigs

15 LC Flat CB DR's

Over this past winter, I have bought a Abu Veritas 7' MH and Abu REVO3 SX. Also, I purchased a Duckett Ghost 7' MH with a Carrot Stix CCA2002-C2 for $50!! Aside from rod and reel, I stocked up on soft plastics (mostly Havoc and Zoom). 

 

However, my local Walmart has clearanced a large amount of Rapala lures and topwater lures, so I plan on returning to get more soon.

I need to pick up a reel for an Avid X I bought late last summer. Have been playing musical reel on it up till the fall. So far I looked at the Abu Revo SX, Daiwa Tutula, a Lews MachII, there are a few Shimanos I like. Fish with many Shimanos already looking for some different and reliable. Do live the Revo. Good luck.

I have yet to fish with my Revo yet, but I really like casting it. I opted for the 6.4:1 instead of the 7.4:1, but I enjoy the reel. Hopefully I can start fishing in like 5 weeks and report back.
