As much as I want a couple of the Kadens that are still available I made two big purchases and a couple smaller ones last month.

I will be buying a few small things this month but I'm saving as much as I can cause I got 2 more rods on my list I want by summer - the Xdtasy 725C and the Champ 764 CB. And of course those are each gonna need a new reel.

Went to the fishing expo in Columbus,Ohio Saturday, spent about 3 hours there.  Got some hand tied bladed jigs, hand tied 1/4 oz swim jigs from the same guy.  Also got some custom painted squarebill cranks, and a few bags of plastics.  Got a few things at Cabela's up the road from there also.  Then stopped at a local tackle shop on the way home that I hadn't been to in about 10 years, and found a Creed GT spinning reel to match the new Kaden spinning rod for $50, so saved some money there, also got some line for my spinning rods while I was there.  Got home and seen that American Legacy had the Lew's Tournament MP on sale for $119 so ordered two of those in the 8.3:1 ratio for the two new Kaden casting rods.  Definitely saved money on them!!  So now the monkey can leave me alone till end of the month, when my favorite tackle shop has their annual sale. ~b~

Does this favorite tackle shop have a website? Asking for a friend...

I did place a small order to TW. Needed U40 and KVD line conditioner so naturally I added some stuff to get free shipping. Couple nutech jigs, a clipless crank, some bullet weights, wacky tool and a couple plano boxes. Don't even remember anymore lol.

Funny thing, I ordered some new gym shoes. They were 99.99. I had $20 off of $100 coupon so I threw a Googan jig on the list to be able to use it.

Oh, and I ordered a label maker off amazon to organize my tackle.

Oh and picked up a dry bag for the kayak at the outdoor show.

Crap the monkey got me and I didn't even realize it.

Don't you worry Lip I will keep him away from you this weekend for sure!  lol  My local tackle shop is having their spring sale and usually spend quite a bit.   ;D

I had some eBay bucks and a couple of coupons so I picked up a couple of cranks and some Traps.

The Norman crank is a pre-Pradco model Deep Baby N in the color that has produced more fish for me in any colored water than any other.

The squarebill I got for $1.75. It's an H20 Xpress series 300. The color is similar to the Norman DBN and the price was right. I got a surprise when the bait arrived. Even though it wasn't in the listing this particular bait has a single knocker style weight instead of the normal rattles I was expecting. I consider this a happy bonus!

The 4 Traps are also Knocker style. I have very few other trap style baits with the knocker sound and I got these for a steal so I just had to add them.

I had these baits in my watch list for a while and they didn't sell and were re-listed several times so all 3 sellers made me a special offer and with my eBay bucks and coupons they were all offers I couldn't refuse.

At least that's what the monkey told me.  ::)  ~roflmao

Thanks FishinBuck I really do appreciate you and Smallie feeding that monkey. ~c~ I'm going to have to put my blinders on soon and venture forth and go on line and get some Power Pro 30 lb Hi Viz line to respool my two reels I just got back from their spring tune ups and cleanings. I might bite the bullet and get some 6 or 8 lb  Hi Viz for my UL set up also.

I just saved a bunch of money by switching to GEICO so I spent it on some plastics, buzzbaits and a new Daiwa Tatula Elite.  Take that monkey boy!

Well as promised guys, I took care of the monkey for a lot of you today!  Spent almost $300 on soft plastics today at the store I buy most of my tackle at.  Better be set for the year now!   ~shade

In an attempt to fish more worms this year, I made an order with Manns and stocked up on some Jelly Worms. These classics still catch fish.

I got the 6.3 standard Elite.  I have a 8.1-1 Zillion HD on my pitchin' rod and a 9.1-1 Zillion HD on my flippin/braid rod.  The Elite is going on my spinnerbait/chatterbait rod.

Jelly Worms are the shit! I will always remember the grape smell of opening a package as a kid. Sadly they no longer juice them up like that.  :(
