Pretty much two for the price of one! Also my lockett lures order should be showing up soon. Not sure how I'm gonna explain this to my dad though, me and T-Bass1 ordered 'em. ;)

Wow! Those are great prices on the Furys. Nice snag.  ;PEP)

Between those two rods and what you already have you're about ready for anything!  ~c~

This is my third Dobyn's rod in my arsenal.

Walked into the local Academy and this week and staring at me was a  G Loomis E6X casting rod for 95.00 and that dam Monkey bit me.

Looking around my garage, I noticed a few things. I either can't find all my chatterbaits, or I'm a lot lower than I thought I was. The one's that I do have, some of them have developed some rust on the hooks. So I ordered a few more Jackhammer's and Thunder Crickets. A spinnerbait has been my money maker the past year, but I love a good chatterbait bite. Damn monkey!

Damn Tapatalk is giving me fits this morning. Keeps crashing on me and deleting posts.

Berkley Digger 8.5 designed as the body indicates by David Fritts. Found it on Fleabay for 99 cents!

More bait porn just arrived!

X Zone baits and Gamakatsu hooks for Neko rigging the X Zone Deception worms.

Neko weights should arrive tomorrow and rod will be ordered Monday.

Then I'm done for a while,,,,, I hope.

I wish the monkey would lose my address for a bit at least.

B10S stinger hooks, that is what I use most when tying bass streamers for the fly rod.  Those hurt bad when you don't keep them out of your fingers!!!  haha

You're welcome.

The hooks were basically free. I had $10 in Amazon gift cards and they only came out to $9.55 and free shipping with Prime.

And of course with X Zone being a sponsor the discount code saved me some $$$ too
Wasn't much over $20 out of pocket for everything.

Yes sir they are listed as fly tying hooks by Gamakatsu. And like all Gammy hooks they are super sharp.

Pro Brent Ehrler discovered their effectiveness as a finesse hook for bass fishing.  He claims about 98% of the bass he hooks with them are right through the top of the mouth.

Sometime around June or July I'm planning on getting some Mustad Titan X hooks,  Trokar TK - 137 finesse hooks and the VMC finesse/wacky hooks and see which one of the 4 I like best.

Just about the last of the outstanding orders arrived today from a couple different places. The COVID -19 situation has caused some long delivery delays.

I only have paperwork on my desk for a Daiwa shirt I'm waiting on and that should be it for a good bit.

I didn't order the Rooster Tail but it was included with the Neko/wacky  hooks from Academy. Not sure if it was a mistake or just a small token of appreciation for people who are supporting their business at a time like this.

As promised, here's pictures of my COVID 19 boredom purchases. I'll post a little review up here once I get the time. I've already got a few fish catches on this setup.

New Metanium....

Welp, I just ordered the HG version to go alongside my 6:1 version. These new Metaniums are the bee's knees.
