Actually - it's my second XT-LE 30...but don't worry, it's gonna replace one of the two Avocet RZTs I still have in the main lineup.

 

I was considering getting another one...you made my day with this, pal.

^^^ and this is why we do this.

...and somehow I missed out on this year's fishmas! I thought I sent the message with my info way back, swear I even double checked but apparently I forgot.

 

Merry fishmas everyone

@heavyduty this is above and beyond! Thank you! Merry Fishmas, Merry Christmas, and God bless you too! 

 

The research was impeccable. You picked up on my finesse fishing being basically all Ned Rig related, you picked up on the spinnerbait coming back into my arsenal big time (having even gotten a War Eagle which is what I use the most), and saw that I'm going down the jerkbait rabbit hole. Very cool. I don't know if it was an excellent guess or if you really dug deep, but I love, love, love finesse jigs. These will be the first things I use, actually, maybe even today.

 

 

My angler's package goes out today!

Thanks ATA.. great gifts and a Merry Christmas ?

This year, I was not able to fish from June - September due to injury. Nonetheless, leftover new baits from 2020 Black Friday and this Black Friday......and just whatever plastics I could fit on the 2nd board. Gotta overcompensate for missing out on the summer.

@Siebert Outdoors, Thanks Mike!

I'm expecting a skirt package from Mike any day now. When I got the box out of the mailbox I thought this thing sure is heavy for a skirt order, not thinking about Fishmas. Opened the box and BOOM! The pic speaks for itself! All items I fish and will fish, a smallmouth buffet. You're good to me Man!!

 

[Siebert Outdoors]

Thank you very much. Just in time for cold water fishing. 
 

Merry Christmas

Ya, I kinda thought that getting you jigs and trailers wouldn't quite fly

 

Good luck with those, Mike.

Nonsense Great package and much appreciated.

Thanks for the Fishmas package @BrianMDTXand the great selection of baits! I appreciated your explaining how each bait has worked for you on your home waters and I hope to have similar success on the delta!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 

[PotatoLake]

Shoot, @jbsoonerfan you nailed it. The Shimano jerkbait was a nice surprise, I had no idea they were available yet. I'm already making plans to sneak away a couple times this week to give it a spin. That straight up gave me that nostalgic feeling of getting the toy you really wanted for Christmas. I've also always wanted to give those BFE's a try and never have, and Sweet Beavers are one of faves and I was almost out of them. Dreaming of some flooded brush on my home lake to flip. Thank you and Merry Fishmas. A+

Nice chatting with you on the phone today. I hope you catch some nice bass with one of those baits. Or all of them!

@PotatoLake Thank you for the Fishmas Package! You are quite generous! You certainly did your research and quite well I would say! I have no idea how you knew I have been wanting to try the bellows gills for years but always forget to order them. I see tons of hellgrammites floating down one of my favorite rivers so those HD baits will catch me quite a lot of smallmouth! And If my suspicion holds true, I think you may have introduced me to a new favorite bait: that Mono jig and easy shaker. That thing will be awesome on a baby plugging and it still blows my mind how you knew I love JDM! Thank you again and Happy Holidays!
