Secret Santa, Christmas 2012

I knew it was lurking around the corner.

If ordering offline should I send it straight to the person or to me and then to their house? What is the norm?

Either way is fine really. If you are ordering for the person and not getting yourself stuff too, you might as well send it direct so you can avoid paying additional shipping.

Got mine shipped out this morning, should arrive by the end of the week.

[bcklash]

The Bandit and I have shipped ours and the Bandit has recieved his.

[carolina-rig-01]

Mine arrived last week and I shipped the one to my recipient today 3rd day air so it should arrive Friday.

[WatterBoy]

Mine has been sent also.

Guess I should have said ordered because we ordered BassinBandits on 12/15, plenty of time we thought. Got an e-mail today saying it was shipped yesterday and this person will recieve his on Jan 2nd. I'm upset. Have sent a PM to this person.

Wow, that's quite a bit of time between the order being placed and the order shipping. I would be pissed too.

I recieved mine today.

Mine should arrive Christmas Eve...if it doesn't the shipping company and I will be having a little chat (and I just happen to know the VP of the shipping company ) for the amount they charged for it to be shipped.

My only looming fear is the recipient will enjoy what was sent to them. I scoured the board looking for hints and came up almost completely empty handed so I had to go with the gut.

You're welcome! I've been using the Square Bills for awhile now and really like them. The Pinjack is new but looked really good. I figured that based on how good the Square Bills are, it would be worth checking out. I got myself a couple too.

Looks like a nice haul, Joe! OK guys, let's see some more pics of what you got...

[aikenyounggun]

I'm gonna send a huge shout out and thank you to Dean (Watterboy). The stuff I got is spot on.

That being said, I'm gonna post up pictures hopefully Friday with a full evaluation and maybe a fish or two off the stuff. Build some excitement.

Great gift though!!

You're welcome, Isaac. Glad you like it!

I got mine from MO. Thanks a bunch Kory! He hooked me up with several deep diving cranks. I will try to get picture put up soon.

I got smoked by the wife over getting TW box...again! I thought it was a crank that was on back order. Boy, was I surprised when I opened for it.

Here they are....Thanks Sack!

I kinda screwed up with my gift. I had Bubbas gift sent to my house before I sent it to him because I ordered a few things for myself. I was expecting it for a few days and one day Britney walked in the door and tossed a Tackle Warehouse box in my lap. Thining it was the stuff I ordered for Bubba I opened it up, and then got really confused when I seen stuff that I didn't order in the box. Then I figured out that I accidently opened my Secret Santa gift........way before Christmas. I didn't want to tell anyone what I had done until Christmas was over, so there was my confession.

My package was from bcklash, and he did an awesome job. I got a Megabass Vision jerkbait in the PM Twilight Chart Back color and a Lucky Craft RC 4.5 squarebill in the Purple Shad color. I already put the crankbait up in the boat and I am sicker than a dog or I would go take a pic of it. I still have the Megabass Vision up here though and will add a picture of it. Thanks a lot Ron, you did a great job buddy!!!

I don't haven't got my hands on a Pinjack yet but I have some of the Bill Lowen squarebills and I love them.

I'm glad you like them, hopefully they will catch you some fish. I haven't used the Pinjack yet either but the sq bill is a great little bait. The Pinjack looks to have the same body but with a longer bill and runs in the 6'-9' range. It's advertised as being able to get through cover well.

There is my awesome haul. Thanks again Dean.

I'm really excited to have some more swim jigs to try, I was gonna try em out some more this year and now I won't have to buy some more. Also, the soft plastics are perfect, right on for the color. The football head jig should be used soon. I'm also excited to try the KVD crankbait, I know a lot of people love it and got more into shallow cranking this past year. The 2/0 hooks are also perfect, actually needed some non EWG 2/0. And I'm super excited about the mouse, I frogged a good bit this past year and have heard yall rave about the mouse, now I get to try it out. I'm also ready to see how the pad crasher works out, I have never thrown one, and all brands have their pros and cons.

Did fish a little today at a tiny pond in my grandparents neighborhood (NC), and missed two tiny ones on the zoom speed worms, but hopefully I'll catch some tomorrow.

And glad to hear you liked what I got ya Joe.
