2017 Fishmas Loot 2025

Alan Reed reply :

I’ll get this started cause I’m like a little kids when new fishing stuff arrives and I had to open right away.

If someone would like to let me know who sent this I will thank them.

CroakHunter reply :

nice! Someone did their research it looks like.

fishballer06 reply :

Since we're starting, I'll post my loot as well.

Clayton knocked it out of the park! He must have really done his research. The Crock O Gator is a bait I've been wanting to try and he even got it in my favorite color. He also got me a Showerblow and 6th Sense squarebill in my go to color - bluegill. Then I also got some of his famous handmade vibrating jigs. Then he topped it off with some Damiki rig swimbait heads. I might have to get some more of those off him.

Well done @Bluebasser86!

Fishing Cowgirl reply :

Oh my goodness, I love Jigs! Thank you! I received my package from Siebert Outdoors and these are great! I always have a jig and a Strikeback Spinner bait tied on. I'd had a couple of those before and really like them. My husband was real excited too. I have a feeling he'll be "borrowing" a couple for the next tournament. We will both have a jig tied on for the Southern Open.

I was going for perch/bluegill colors hoping that was the main forage you have there. That buzzbait is my favorite of theirs, caught some really big ones on it. The swimbait heads are actually ones I made too. Just got the mold in time to send you a couple

I love seeing this thread every year. Can't wait to see more of what folks have gotten.

Figured it might help fill up that wall a little bit at least.

Still waiting for my lump of coal.

Awesome haul! Thanks @fishballer06

Burtonxj reply :

Sent mine today. Should find its way to a doorstep somewhere Friday.

Excuse the wrap job.

slonezp reply :

Well, someone did their research. Didn't leave a screen name so I will just say thank you very much!!!

I posted a report sometime this past summer where I believe I switched from bass fishing to pan fishing because the bass weren't biting. I coined the term Slonezp Rig for a Gulp minnow hanging underneath a bobber. The Slonezp Rig caught more bass than the bass baits I happened to be throwing that day. This is what I received...and again, Thank You!

Bluebasser86 reply :

Got my package from @slonezp. A couple 3700 trays that you can never have enough of, a pliers/scissors kit that went straight into my kayak bag so I can get rid of the rusty multi-tool I'm cussing every time I have to try to use them, and a pack each of YUM Dingers and PitBosses, neither of which you can ever have too many of. Sorry for the not so great picture, it was the only one I took before I had the boxes filled up the pliers/scissors stowed away. Thank you slonezp!

I didn't want to be known as the guy who gives out lures that don't work, so i opted for tools and storage. Enjoy.

Didn’t know if we were supposed to put our forum names on the gifts, so I didn’t. Hope that new rig kit treats you well! Feel free to post pictures of all the massive bass it catches.

Vinjints reply :

was the Slonezp letter part of the original post, or included in the package? I think that's the best part, personally.

I included it the in package. When you’ve got a tournament grade rig kit, the branding needs to be on point. It’s a tough market out there.

Siebert Outdoors reply :

Thank you AJAY! All I can say is wow! The paint job on these custom color Rapalas is sweet. The picture definitely does not do the baits justice. He even put the G Finesse hooks on for me. Then the buff tops it off.

Merry Christmas all.

Ain't that the truth? All I have to do now is figure out how to not lose the rat to a musky.

Scarborough817 reply :

@wisconsin heat awesome package of baits, i see you did some research definitely looking forward to throwing the Norman next year.

And I actually really like the mini bluegill swimbait.

Merry fishmas bud hope you have a great weekend

Second box showed up today Thanks again!

Burtonxj reply :

Thanks Mike (kyhokie)

I’ll blow through that pack of craws and I’m looking forward to trying out those keitech tubes. Trick darter and square bill just got rigged up!

deaknh03 reply :

Chad, aka norcalbassin, nailed it. A rainbow hud, in rof 5, perfect for my home lake that has rainbows stocked. I've had my eye on that jackall, swings always work...and that kicka$$ tackle warehouse mug is awesome. Thanks brother, you couldn't have done better.

Chance_Taker4 reply :

I'm not 100% on who it was but thank you. You definitely did your research. These are all the baits that have consumed my fishing this season.

You're welcome and I hope you get lots of use out of them. That was the last I-Jack TW had in stock and the videos I watched made it look like a fun and unique bait to fish... hopefully the big girls love it this spring/summer. Thank you for keeping the gift exchange tradition alive and have a Merry Christmas!

wisconsin heat reply :

Huge Thank you to @Burtonxj! There isn't an Item in this box that won't get used! The Megabass Jerkbaits and Duo Spybait will be the first things to hit the water this spring when the season opens! (In a lake that is free of northern pike- don't worry ) The Spinner bait is my favorite brand, but I haven't tried the Clearwater special version, so I am looking forward to it! Never tried the Vile Craws but have heard great things about them -will be a great punch and flip bait next summer! The colors of both the Robo worms and Tubes are incredible and will be put to heavy use on the smallmouth that swim in the rivers up here!

And on top of all the great tackle, Burton sent a $25 gift card to TW!

Blown away by your generosity Ian! Thank you so much!!

Burtonxj reply :

You’re welcome man. Hope they catch you some fatties. Merry Christmas!

BrackishBassin reply :

Thanks @Chance_Taker4! Must've seen my thread about the local crawfish population. Can't wait to rig these up and start tossing them! Jigs and craws are my goal for 2018. Couldn't have put together a better starter pack for me!

NorcalBassin reply :

Holy smokes... Deak went nuts with the loot and when I opened it and saw inside I felt like I should have done one of those unboxing videos! Awesome job with so many cool things I can't wait to try. Thank you and I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!!

Glad you like them. Hope they produce some monster fish, whether they are fiction or non-fiction i'm not one to judge.

Would like to give a big shout out and thank you to Alan Reed. Put together a heck of a present and is much appreciated! I honestly have never broke into the rage baits, and after buying some for my secret santa i had the itch to get some! So worked out great. I've heard nothing but good about keitech swimbaits, so im extremely excited to try them out. You're the man! P.S. I've had this for a solid week just opted to wait til christmas to open!

I have to admit, I had accidentally packaged one box inside and have resent the correct “surprise “. Because the grandkids opened the other and asked why there was fishing stuff inside?????! I put some baits inside that work really good on Florida lakes should you take a road trip here.

Happy New Year.

roadwarrior reply :

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The other package arrived Saturday. Thank you!

deaknh03 reply :

I want to thank everyone for researching, purchasing and packaging all this stuff for strangers, then taking the time to post pictures with thanks. I think this gets better every year, and I'm never disappointed. It's always a solid group of members that commit to this and help it to make it what it is. Thank you to everyone that participates.
