Christmas Loot! 2024


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

Lets see some pictures of the new toys everyone got from Santa today!  :eyebrows:  :respect-059:


fishing user avatarbassinOUT89 reply : 

There's no time. The Christmas bass are waiting.


fishing user avatarsmalljaw67 reply : 

I got gift cards so no loot until next week but I'm happy as a clam!!!!!!


fishing user avatarmasterbass reply : 

What fishing gear did you get from others (not stuff you bought for yourself)?  In my family, fishing stuff is what I buy for myself because no one knows what to get.  So sadly, I won't get any fishing related gifts, lol.  I'll live vicariously through you guys.


fishing user avatarGANGGREEN reply : 

I'm basically in the same position that you are in that my family doesn't have a clue what to get me.  Thankfully, my wife is pretty good about getting me the things that I pick out or just giving me gift certificates.  I did really well in the fishing department this year with gifts of a Quantum fisherman's tool (a small "leatherman's" tool that can be clipped to your shirt or fishing boxes), an Ice Rigger (rod tender for ice fishing), a large Plano 3700 tackle box with 6 insert boxes and a $250 gift certificate to Field and Stream.  My wife was even kind enough to give me the certificate last week because I had to be in Erie, PA to pick up my son at college so I've already redeemed it.  I got a St. Croix trout series 6'4" UL rod, a Daiwa Cielo 6'9" MLXF rod and a Lew's Speed Spool Tournament MG reel. 

 

I'm very pleased with the haul.


fishing user avatarJohn G reply : 

From my wife, son and relatives, I received, shirts, cash, candy and a couple of gift cards from Chic Filet and Steak N Shake and I gave them to my son.

fishing user avatarSam reply : 

No pics. Nothing fishing related.

 

But did get some great gifts like sweaters; kaki's; two super books on tape: Killing Patton and George W. Bush on his dad; plus an iPhone holder for my wife's Jeep so I can use the WAZE system when I drive it.

 

Heading to grandkids home later today and can't wait to see what they got me.

 

Hope everyone got a Steetz rod and reel and a new Raymarine electronics set up for their boats!!!!

 

Have a fun and safe Christmas, everyone.

Got one of the skeet reese a-rig rods (lets not hate on the rod, it was on sale for $50) that I will be using to throw small swimbaits like the s-waver 168s, 6" BBZ, and my hardgill. Santa got a 9" storm swimshad for me as well but I don't think he understands the difference between that and a Hudd. Either way it will see use on the Chesapeake Bay tomorrow  :eyebrows:

Lol actually she was a little spy. I was buying some things on TW black friday and she heard me make the comment I could use as much of these as I could get. And that's where she got the idea. And she knew I wanted the hoo-rag for months
fishing user avatarRSM789 reply : 

A couple of BPS gift cards, a on board battery charger for my Pond Prowler (I kinda gave her the model number), a new fishing shirt, a new fishing hat & a new cooler that fits my boat.

 

The hat was a surprise because it is one of the B.A.S.S. camo hats that you can only get when you sign up as a member.  I really like the fit of it, but my current one is about 10 years old & shows the wear & tear of such.  My son found one on eBay, apparently by a someone who is ashamed to be a member or just doesn't like the hat.  My wife wants me to hold off wearing the new one until May when I marshal the Elite tournament on Havasu, but I may just have to break it before that...

Also, Santa brought my fiancé a kitchenaid mixer with the food processor attachment so she'll be busy while I'm out fishing!

Then when my TW order of 7 bags of roboworms

and 2 bags of drop shot weights arrived, I handed

that over as well, unopened.

 

So I already knew what I was getting, LOL. Now 

for a chance to use them, and test the Boga!!

Good luck with it. I bought one last year and you can't see anything on the screen in the day light only at night. I don't fish any at night so it doesn't do any good . To me it was just a waste of money.

From the Orochi XX line of rods? If yes, I have had that vary rod for 2 years and love it. It is the only rod I would ever purchase a second of. Best multi purpose rod I have used and the sensitivity of the blank is great when combined with Tatsu.

That's the one. I'm going to try the Orochi XX rods because they are known for their versatility, and I'm trying to put together a set for fishing co-angler/back of the boat situations where I need to keep my rod count down. Already have the Shakey Head spinning rod. Also considering the Flatside Special and the Perfect Pitch. Won't be able to wait until next Christmas to fill out the lineup though. I'll probably have to sell some stuff this Spring.
fishing user avatarPatrick Morrow reply : 

Lures only, my family knew that I already had all the other equipment.


fishing user avatarkickerfish1 reply : 

I have the Shakeyhead spinning rod as well. The rod was a new addition spring of this year. Have you fished yours yet? I am on the fence about mine as it fishes lighter in power than I thought it would. Seems great for under 5/16 oz but feels pushed as it gets closer to 3/8. The series as a whole is outstanding minus the full retail price, higher amount of cork filler, and somewhat limited warranty coverage. Sounds like you should be set with a handful of these rods depending upon what you wanted to accomplish with them...

I've fished it quite a bit and I like it. I use it for pretty much every finesse application I can't use a baitcaster for, so I actually like the action of it being a bit lighter. I find it works well for how I fish a drop-shot rig. I frequently will cast it and work it bank down slopes, and the action is better for dragging the weight over obstructions than a true drop-shot rod would be. I don't fish shakey heads over a 1/4 oz very often, and if I did, I'd use my baitcaster, so the Shakey Head rod is just kind of in my wheel house.

I'm in the same boat. My father in law and I fish together every chance we get. He's a Canadian Maritimer so fishing comes to him as second nature. There are a couple of nice little trout ponds near his house, not to mention Bras D'Or Lake which isn't that far away either.

Do tell on the new Carbonlite.  Some people are not liking the white, aside from the color..how does it compare with the previous generation?

I received 100 bucks, combined with my BPS gift card from my birthday 50, I'm saving them both up for the Spring Classic at BPS (reel trade in) for my first Curado I, if I don't like it..I will get another Chronarch CI4+.  On top of that I got a subscription for 1 year with LTB from my lovely wife.  LTB helps me get through the winter months/blues.

My brother in law bought that reel last year and loves it.I have a cardinal series from Abu and it is a lot smoother than my real. But I am a huge fan of Abu Garcia and like just about everything on their line up. I just bought the Ike Dude off eBay for $25 and use it as a pan fish rod.

But I also have the silver max, pro max, and cardinal. Planing on buying the orra winch as a musky reel until I can get the Toro.

Oh. I know the bait caters you can always upgrade the bearings for better quality, right off the bat to improve performance. Sometimes you get lucky and get it for free. We had a musky expo here in MN last year and some reps where there from Abu. He told me if I brought in my reels he would oil/grease them. Inspect and replace bearing for free.. and be damned they did.

i know!  i'd been eyeballing it for a while actually because it was already marked down to $69.  i wanted to get rid of some items i was hanging on to so that i could free up some space and fishing funds to purchase the citica for my new cranking reel.  went back in last week and it was an additional 50% off the already marked down price so i grabbed it and ran for the register.

HOLY I wish I could land a deal like that.  $69 was even a sweet deal.

fishing user avataraavery2 reply : 

A new fish net that is really cool, and a G Loomis Bronzeback SMR811S-SP spinning rod.  I think this rod is going to be very good for the Ned rig.


fishing user avatarAvalonjohn44 reply : 

Daiwa Tatula Type R Lefty

$25 BPS Card x3

BPS Hellgramites x3 (Can't wait to put these on a dropshot)

BPS Squirmin' Worms

SOG Fasthawk (not really fishing, but outdoorsy, plus I can use it to cut down a tree if my lure got stuck...;) )


fishing user avatarHawghead reply : 

Didn't really ask for anything fishing related.  I tend to buy exactly what I want on my own.

 

I did get a pair of Maui Jim Ho'okipa Sunglasses.  I will wear them all the time, but they'll be best used while I'm fishing off my kayak this year.  I have a really large head, and they are one of the few make/models that fit and don't look ridiculous on my melon.


fishing user avatarLittleBob reply : 

I got quite a few gift cards for TW and BP so I used them to buy some duo realis lipless cranks, some LC pointers and some new spinner baits. I used my BP ones for some 100 mph bibs, I'll get the jacket later since they're on sale right now at the store.


fishing user avatarPreytorien reply : 

I got one of these from my bride. She wasn't supposed to get me anything since she went overboard in Sept and got me a Stradic for my birthday. But she suprised me.  :respect-059:

I fish mostly from the bank or a small inflatable Sea Eagle, so this will be very nice to have. I've tried it out and it works very well.
