Fishmas loot

[LrgmouthShad]

@Gera you did really, really good. Thank you. 

 

Everybody knows that War Eagles are effective and the screaming eagle is my choice to burn or fish fast. Became more open minded about that when chasing smallmouth. 
 

And the SV-3s, holy cow. I am analytical about every aspect of a spinnerbait and the SV-3s are built masterfully. Really excited to try them. I gotta imagine that they will be top performers for me.
@NorthernBasser wanted me to try these so this is my golden opportunity. 
 

To be honest, I will be saving these spinners for warmer water but once the water temps climb, especially in the summertime, I will be using these and I’ll share my thoughts on them later. Particularly the SV-3 as I’ve never thrown one before.

 

Thank you so much!

 

The black nickel blades on that one SV-3 ?

Loot received, thanks @SproDD79. This is a great selection of lures and I'm very excited to try all of these out. I'm especially excited to give the top left crankbait a shot (Predator Apex). Thanks!

Caught a fish on that Frittside 9 the other day, same color too.   

 

Those are great tight wobbling baits, great colder water crank I've found, I have three now in the various sizes.

@LrgmouthShad nailed it. The Legos were on Erics Christmas list.

sweet Haul!!  those SV3 spinner baits got me back into spinner baits. it is no secret I suck with one.  but I finally put a few on the board with the SV3.  

 

wait..what I meant to say was..those SV3 suck horribly, and you could send them to me for proper disposal.

[treble hook]

Looks like you guys had a good time.

[Darth-Baiter]

^^^^ this guy either got the BEST fishmas gift ever...or this is outside the scope of this thread.

Late to the party, busy day yesterday, and some technical issues, but better late than never I guess. Here is my loot, couldn't be more pleased, thank you Heavy Duty!

Small house compact spinnerbaits and forage hued plastics, including small tubes are just perfect. Thanks again to deaknh03 for coordinating this, and Merry Christmas to all!

 

ps: I tried to channel my recipient's (KSandford33) photo, but the Adidas slides (which I use mostly apres cycling) are in the garage somewhere, and it's a meat locker in there right now...  ?

Merry Christmas and Merry Fishmas @roadwarrior! Your Fishmas gift is/has been enroute for a few days now and is probably somewhere between here and there.

Merry Fishmas!

Definitely! Best part is I've never tried about half of these and its always nice to give new baits a shot.

I'm generally a finesse guy. You've got cranks that will up your game.

did any gifts go MIA?

Middle daughter got me a 50.00 BPS gift card that I spent on jerkbaits. Youngest daughter got me a box of Strike King cranks and Stren Line. (durn I did a good job with these two)! Son and oldest daughter got me good things to eat! Did a decent job with the last two but I could have done better! HA!

Big thanks to @swhit140 for the fishmas Loot! Great stuff I will definitely use, and you’ve made some gorgeous colors on your homemade soft plastics that I can’t wait to try out!

Thank you so much @garroyo130, I really was in market for a 68 and the line is perfect as well.

Glad you like them! since you like spinnerbaits so much and have so much experience with them I didn't know if you were going to like them. I took a chance with my go-to spinnerbaits. (original plan was to send 26 Walmart bottom shelf $0.99 spinnerbaits but that would require me to go to the post office so no, thought that would be funny!) 

 

I still need to take pictures of my loot, I got really good stuff in mine and many things I have never tried before. I will post later today. 

[Luke Barnes]

I need to lay mine all out and take a pic of it as well. I got a nice haul of different things and I'm really excited to try out the Tokyo rig!
