My BaitMonkey should be satisfied...for now...

Half of my two rig attack is complete. I have finally found and purchased my St. Croix Legend Elite ES70MF along with the Shimano Stella 2500FB it will be paired with after much Ebay warfare. I think I did pretty well on it. All told for both rod and reel I spent a total of $634.00. It was $435.00 for the reel, which isn't a huge savings from normal price, but it was the best deal I could find, and $199.00 for the rod, which was pretty darn good considering it retails for $320.00. Both are brand new in original packaging. I can't wait for these to hit my doorstep so I can go test 'em out. Hopefully everything arrives in good shape. I can't wait to use these monsters!!! :)

Even after all that, I still have $100.00 of my Christmas money left and the little critter is still tring to talk me into boosting my crankbait supply... :. Tenacious little sucker. Oh well. I'll probably just save the rest and put it towards the next combo.

Nice outfit! Those ebay wars can really be stressful but what a great feeling when you manage to get a deal.

Very nice indeed!  I'm considering one of the smaller Stella's as well, I have the larger ones that I use for surf fishing.  

I agree with the wars on Ebay.  I am sure that I've bid against a couple guys from this site as well.   ;D

Dude!

That's my soft plastics rig! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Congratulations.

I reckon I will enjoy it quite a bit. I have been watching the tracking updates like an addict waiting for his fix. Both items have been shipped and are on their way. I hope to get them both before this weekend so I can go test them out. The weather has been pretty mild around here recently and I think I would like to get out and do some wacky rigged senkos.
