Same to you buddy.
Got my box from MO_LMB! I got quality stuff, and it's all either baits I already use, or wanted to try. I actaully passed on the Terminator rig the other day, with a funny feeling that I'd get it in the exchange, and I did!!
Thanks so much MO_LMB - great gift box you put together! Even got the colors right on the Xtails!
Here it is! My favorite is the Dude Wipes! HAHA! Thanks again!
Jeff
I'm just stoked that the next box of baits that shows up at my door will be exactly 0% my fault and thus will be completely guilt free.
I received my box today, and promptly opened it..Thanks gardnerjigman!! I have no pic to post yet, but I will say there was one lure in there I have been eyeballing for about 4 months..

Glad you liked it man. That one lure took a lot of thread seatching to find something you were interested in! Lol
Thats awesome, I do remember mentioning it a while back..sweet detective work!

You're welcome Chris. I use Mikes stuff all the time and love it too.
I had Mike do a little snooping on your past orders and set you up with your favorites.
I got a very heavy box in the mail today from Kale (BenB54). Probably going to wait until Christmas to open it, or not. I'll post some pictures tomorrow...

Thank you Gabrial. I will be putting these to use real soon. AM shad is by far my favorite and I know I will be putting the hurt on the smallies in the spring with them both!
Merry Christmas to all!!
You're welcome. It was hard to shop for someone who makes tackle for a living. I'm glad you like em.
here is my poor pic..
Thank you so much BeckieC! I got the package a few moments ago. I was going to hold off on opening until Christmas, but written clearly on the box was "perishable open ASAP".
I'm now comfortably covered in the soft blanket and enjoying some pumpkin bread (AMAZING!) with my coffee. Everything is great! That fishing sign is getting hung up at my desk at work on Monday!
I love Rat-L-Trap's and these colors are perfect. Can't go wrong with Rage Tail, and the buzzplug has had my eye since they were released! A spook, too!
Happy holidays to you and yours, BeckieC!!!

Some C&C jigs, I had actually pm'ed the maker last week about buying some, powerbait hawgs, hawg caller triple blade, spro froggy, and my new little friend..the Jackall Binksy..can't wait to use this stuff!!
Thanks a ton John F! Can't wait to put it all to use!
Got some great stuff from Matt, it will definitely get put to some good use! I can't wait to get some time off and get on the water. Thank you!

I really wish I could have sent you more stuff, man. In any case I tried to mix it up with a little of everything and I hope they bring you the very best of luck!! Happy holidays!

What you sent was more than enough, I just got a few new frog rods so I'm dying to try that frog out. Everything else is tackle/colors i use a lot of also, you definitely hit the nail on the head! Thanks again, and happy holidays as well!

Glad you like it and I am really glad I wrote perishable on it, I'm pretty sure pumpkin bread spoils quickly but it never lasts more than a day in this house .
Thanks to topwaterrob for my package. All good stuff but I'm really interested in seeing if I can find a fish to hit that monster popper!

Yep, I was glad I did not get him or Rick
Big thanks to BigMoneyGrip for the Christmas hookup!! Sweet baits from Keitech, Berkley, Bomber, Strike King, and more! Especially love the Live Target Baitball, Arashi sq bill, Sexy Swimmer, and Angler's Ambush megaworms! Over the top dude!! Thanks a million!!!
So I opened my present and WOW. Being a fellow hand to hand combat fisherman from Texas, Kale set me up with stuff that I use as well as some stuff I can't wait to try.
3 bags of D bombs, 2 bags of Sweet Beavers, 2 bags of YoDaddys, 1 bottle of spike it, 6 styles of wire tied Jigs (Mikes I think), 2 Storm shallow dive square bills (perfect for Toho), 1 snag proof phat frog (which I always have tied on), Trokar flippin hooks, tungsten punch weights, peg stops, 2 original Bill Lewis rattle traps and a monster Jackall Pompadour.
Probably the most impressive thing in the box was the Handwritten Note, a form of communication that is all but forgotten. Thanks Kale, you nailed it.

Thanks Brad... been wanting to try MegaStrike for a number of years and never got around to it. The BBZ and Bully Wa Frog will definitely be seeing some action this spring and summer. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!!
Thanks Bert for the good stuff. Can't wait to try it out. I think you've started down a dangerous path with the MegaBass 110.
Finally got my stuff sent out today. Should be a present in someone's mailbox on Thursday

You're welcome! This past year, I've caught fish on all of that. The Angler Ambush is poured by a local guy. That red worm has served me good this summer.
Good luck and Merry Christmas.
Just got the hook up from Snakehead Whisperer! 3 bags of trick worms that will put the hammer down shaky head style! A war eagle finesse spinner, megabass knuckle squarebill. Last but not least ( my favorite part) 2 hand made baits! A balsa square bill (with gardner jigman engraved on the belly) and a pine popper ( with Coty S on the side!) those 2 are going in the display case FO SHO! Thanks a ton Andrew, and Merry Christmas!
Thanks much jerzihogg. Awesome loot.
Np dude
On 12/13/2014 at 8:30 AM, BassnChris said:Woo Hoo!!!!!!
Thanks BassnChris!
I scored 2 packs of Rage craws, 1 pack of Rage structure bugs, a Cotton Cordell medium diving crank in firetiger (love these things,) a Zara Spook in black/bone, a floating glasses retainer (going to get used a lot) and a Turtle8 multi-tool.
Also packed in was an Al Agnew throw blanket with a really nice buck design on it, and a pontoon boat Christmas ornament (pictured hanging from our tree.)
Perhaps the best part.... food. Thanks again! We're really enjoying the pumpkin bread and I'll get to the gummy worms before too long. I might try to wacky rig one and see what I can catch, as I've wanted to do that for a while.

You're welcome Coty, and Merry Christmas to you (and all who participated in the exchange!) All stuff that has worked well for me this year. I encourage you to fish the handmade lures, but I understand if you want to put them in the display case too

Glad you like the 'stuff'.
Read through a bunch of your posts.....figured smallie treats were a good choice.......was going to buy you a recharge kit for your PFD.....but was not sure if you still had the Cabela's or if you had pulled the trigger on the other one you mentioned.......so went for the baits and a nice blanket to sit on the couch or easy chair with during the winter.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Chris
We didn't get home until late last night. I go out to the front porch this morning and notice a box! Thanks Mr_Scrogg! He hooked me up with all kinds of stuff. GYCB senkos, RageTail, Cavitron, hooks, cranks..... It's a big list. I'll try to get pics up when I get in tonight.
Scrogg, thanks again and Merry Christmas to all!
Ya'll realize that some of those packages contain more tackle than I own?? This is almost as good as the "show off your stuff" thread!
Had a great chat with Bkohlman last night. Well, mostly I rambled, but I'm glad I jumped on the bandwagon this year.
Got my box from 5fishlimit. All great stuff! - rage tail craws and toads, flappin hogs, tubes, war eagle spinnerbait. Nice selection of some quality baits right there.
Thanks Dan!

No problem, Lee. I'm glad you like the loot. The jigs are from Mike, the arky are 1/4, the brush are 1/2 and the football are 3/4. I had to throw in that pompadour because I thought it would be too much fun throwing it at those big Florida bass!
Just noticed my package from Flyfisher on the porch this morning! BOOOYAH!
Got a couple different kinds of Rage baits (These lobsters are going to be a HOOT to punch with!) a Dahlberg frog and a sweet line trimmer that I was actually about to buy myself! Thank you so much Jay, and the note was a really nice touch. My best to you and yours this Holiday season!!

I hope it all works out for you. I tried very hard to research the local lakes for productive baits and patterns but just did not come up with much. So I went with my confidence baits and colors and going off what little I learned about the lay of some of the lakes around there. I think you'll manage to find something in there you like Merry Fishmas
Got mine yesterday and of course i couldn't wait to open it....i was lucky enough to get a mega bass pop max and pop x!!! I cannot wait to chuck them this spring.
Thanks to Gone_Phishin for the great gift.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
I opened mine up today. Big thanks to deaknh03!! He really hooked me up with great stuff that I will use. I got 3 ZooX swimjigs, a H20 hard shad swimbait, a Reaction Strike Revolution Frog, a Kinami lipless crank, a XCalibur XW6 wake bait, a Sebile ACast Minnow and a pack of Rage Tail Anacondas. I will try to get a pic up tomorrow. Thanks Derrick, I really appreciate it!

Ho-Ho-Ho!
Thank you A-Jay!
Well gang, it looks like we had another successful Fishmas Exchange this year. It was wonderful seeing everyone gifts.
The most creative gift award would have to go to Beckie C. A blanket and Pumpkin bread. What a combo.

Great job you do on this gift exchange. Can't wait for next year.
A huge thanks to starcraft1. I received Bruce's package well before Christmas, and finally got a chance to catch my breath after the holidays.
I received a myriad of jigs: swim jigs; wacky jigs; shakey heads; swing jigs; and drop shot weights.
Thanks again Bruce!!!
