This is always one of my favorite threads of the year. Post up the Black Friday hauls once they come in!
Made a few orders from different places this Black Friday. I didn't go out shopping (spent time with family), but did end up getting some cool stuff online:
From Bass Pro-
Minihopper crankbait
Several different BPS brand cranks and a KVD 1.5 in Gizzard shad
BPS "Egg" wakebait
Yum Craw Pap, BPS Stik O's, and Berkley Havoc Hawk Hawg, Boss Dog, and some other assorted plastics
From Amazon.com -
Rebel Pop-R's
From Gander Mtn. -
6'6'' MH/F Vortex Casting Rod
Nothing here, it's been what ..... like 2 years since my last purchase, Daiwa SS SV reel.
I have a decent sized order I won't see till Christmas, lots of lipless baits, tubes, menace grubs, gambler baits, jig skirt tabs and some misc stuff. Oh yeah the TRD tubes, looking forward to trying those.
A few small orders coming in this week. Some crankbaits (LC, SK, 6th sense, Bandit), a couple SK plastics, z-man hula stickz, a project z chatterbait, and shroomz finesse jigs. flipping hooks. owner brush heads. A pompadour. And another Tatula reel.
EDIT: Here we go, minus the reel which should arrive at my doorstep any moment:

I got a Corsair H60 Closed Loop liquid cooler for my computer
No fishing stuff --- yet
From outdoor Pro Shop I got a shellcracker G2 and an Swaver 200. Threw in some safety caps too (more to avoid scratching than hooking myself).
I stopped by my local tackle shop to support them for their Black Friday sale. I'm a tackle hoarder so I'm running out of things to buy there but I did grab a 6th Sense SplashBack 90 Popper, 6 packs of Keitech Custom Leeches, and a couple of Plano's to store yet more tackle. Looked for some Picasso Double Barrel Underspins but they didn't carry those, otherwise couldn't think of anything else I needed/wanted!
I picked up a Pflueger Patriarch XT spinning reel from Scheels for $100. Kicked myself for not buying more.
My modest order.
Also picked up a 5 pack of buffs and a big order from Overstock baits that I'm waiting to get here.

Nice Selection Blue ~ I may have made that same order myself - at least once.
A-Jay
Sooo, an Amazon Firestick for $30 doesn't quite count
for this site, does it...yeah.
Well, in non-Black Friday stuff, I purchased a digi-scale
and a fish grip Jr. to attach.
Here's what I bought. Baby not included.

Have you used the Savage Gear Mayfly before? I have a pair of them I picked up last BF and promptly forgot about until I saw your post.

I have not. I've almost ordered them on several occasions but hadn't pulled the trigger until now. I'm pretty excited to try them for trout and smallmouth though.
Yea, they look real enough to fool an aquatic insect biologist, or maybe my buddy is just a fool . I haven't even played with them in the sink, I have no idea how they will have any "action" to speak off but I for some reason have a strong feeling that they will work very well just dead drifted.
Curado 70 8:1 - can hardly contain myself.
I got a new Keurig and a Dr. Scholls Foot Spa Plus. Eat your heart out.

Have you seen the video of them underwater? The amount of action they have is incredible. They seem to be surprisingly durable too, at least with straight pressure applied to their appendages.
I had not, but wow, totaly unexpected! I really did complelty forget that they even existed after I got them home. I am even more excited about them now.
This might be a sign I have too much tackle though, but lets leave that idea aside for a while.
Too lazy for pictures, but I got:
President 30 Spinning reel
Berkeley lightning 7' spinning rod (16 bucks!)
3 pack of Rebel Pop'Rs
Some bitsy bugs and some baby craw trailers
I ordered a Gander mountain Vortex casting rod at a great price but they cancelled my order. I opted to "ship to local store" then they cancelled the order saying "that store doesn't have the rod in stock".. That was why I had them ship to store lol.. oh well.
My stash finally came in from Cyber Monday
I'm trying to slow down and finesse the big girls in next year.
Yeah!! Basstrix Flash Trix!

They look killer on a drop shot. What's your experience? The package says drop shot, split shot, surface. Surface? Do these things float?

Tell me more about those "Wheel Head" jig heads and how you use them. Thanks!
It's a spybait jighead from Japan. I've been trying to find a jighead like that for a while and finally found them. The plan is to tie some marabou on them and use them when the smallie bite dies down. The description said to use them with the split tail flash j minnows, so I picked up a few packs of them as well.

I use them nose hookd on a drop shot, they were my first high-end drop shot bait. They do float so be sure to fish them out and use Mend-It to glue the faces back together since those things are not cheap!
TW Order #1

You got the best hook covers made right there: )
They are great covers KDW96, saw them on a TackleJunky81's YouTube channel and thought I would try them out. Now all my baits have these covers on them.
47 bags of plastics, $64.

Wow, that looks like $200 worth of soft plastics...

I haven't figured the value, but that's probably a close estimation.
Outlet Bait is the best! I've got a lifetime supply of GYCB kut tails stocked up!
Outlet Bait is the worst! I've got a lifetime supply of lures I will never use!
Really though, I have finally forced myself to not buy stuff just because it is $0.99. All the actual deals I have gotten there were made far less good by all the random junk I bought, stored for a year or two, then gave away just to get it gone. Whoever sets their sales has a very good grasp of how a hoarder's brain works.
