Bait Monkey Wishlist

[dgkasper58]

Compiling the wish list now to get ready for Black Friday/ Cyber Monday and wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on anything that I may have forgot.

 

Feel free to put some of your list on here to make sure that we all are aware of what we might "need".

 ~ Bait Monkey Wish List ~  Great Idea !

 

My current list (which is subject to change at any time) is very short and contains only one item.

 

 

However, the "Benjamin Factor" simply can not be ignored on this one . . . .

Yep, that's what I want.

I've got 39 items on my TW wishlist right now. Some expansion of my jig choices, filling in holes in my plastics (adding colors where I already have 1 or 2 of a type) and adding some other styles of plastics

You can add that planning edge box to my list too, (3600 size). Also hoping a glide bait or two shows up under the tree since I haven't gotten around to purchasing one for myself.

 

I recently found this rod holster thing while browsing on Ali Express and I'm going to pick one up since I've been looking for a creative solution to carrying two rods while on the bank.

I have my I eye on a swimbait rod but not sure which one yet.  Oh and few monstrous swimbaits to go with it.

Rain suit for the boat, graph for the boat not sure which one yet.  That will most likely be the end of the spending this winter!  lol

I have been working on my Tackle Warehouse wishlist for a while now. I don't need too much this year -- that is after almost $500 of tackle (post discount) and 3 rods and one reel for another $500.

Since I'm pretty well stocked on tackle, here is my checklist

• Replacement lures for lures that I liked and lost.
  • Few crankbaits
  • Whopper Ploppers (lost a fair share
• Soft plastic replenishment
• Terminal tackle replenishment
  • This year I just need new hooks.
• New line as needed (in my case new mono for all the reels I run mono on)
• Backup lures
  • Jigs (since I fish them often around rocks and heavy cover and lose them a lot)
  • Berkley Cutter Shallow 90 Jerkbait -- since this is my favorite shallow water jerkbait, that means I lose them
  • New colorado blade spinnerbaits -- mine from last year are pretty beat up

I plan on getting a few new rods and reels this year too.

• Daiwa Tatula 7'1" MH/F rod - will use with my current reels just another rod to have in the mix. I have the older split grip 6'10" MH/F Tatula as well which I love for soft plastics but there are times I wish I had a slightly longer MH/F rod.
• St Croix Mojo Glass rod either the 6'10" or 7'2" for my youngest son who loves cranks
• Daiwa Tatula CT Type-R 6.3:1 for the above rod
• Dobyns Sierra 703C for my oldest son for whopper ploppers, weightless plastics and crankbaits
• Shimano Curado 200k 7.3:1

Do you have a link for that holster? It’s the least bulky looking one I have ever seen.  I want one for wading to hold my rod while rigging it up. 
 

So far for BF I am looking at getting a Dobyn’s dx702c and an Alphas CT.  I am not 100% on either of them, it’s going to depend on the deals I can find.

I'm with A-Jay. Spot Lock is a game changer.  Two of my buddies have the Ultrex and  after fishing in windy conditions with them I am a believer.  Getting blown off a spot while re-tying, landing fish or any other "activity" that pulls you away from the trolling motor is a major pain and this technology mitigates those challenges. 

 

I have a handful of baits that include hard swim baits and jerk baits but that's it.  My lure and terminal tackle is pretty dialed.

Honestly....

 

I need some Musky rods!

Spot lock has changed a ton for me.  I only have the terrova but it seriously changed everything.  Mine is a gen 1 so it is not friends with my fish finders but still is a beast of a motor.

I think I'll get the baitcaster. I don't have any in the platinum series but it had good reviews.

Save the money and get a Shimano SLX or a Daiwa Fuego CT. BOTH cheaper and better reels.
