Score any new fishing stuff for Christmas?

Jrob78 · 12-27-12, 08:18 PM

I was pretty fortunate this year and was able to do a little shopping, my monkey is very pleased. I got a bunch of new crankbaits and some cool swimbaits.

Some of the stuff I got was from the TW 25 days of Christmas sale and some of it was just stuff I wanted. The things I'm most excited to try out are the Huddleston 68's, the X-80 Trick Darters and the Ima Pinjacks. I just happened to get the email alert that the Hudds were available right after I got my Christmas bonus, it was a no brainer.

I'm really impressed by the Savage Gear Bone Cranks, they look like a top notch bait with good components and were great at buy one get one free. The Spro Fat Papa 55's look great also. I bought the Punisher hair jigs, in part, to have a model to go off of so I can tie my own. They look great though and are really inexpensive. I'm also really impressed by the Mattlures baits. The plastic is unbelievably soft and should have a great action in the water. I've used a few Mattlures baits before but not the minnows or the trout baits.

Add my Secret Santa gifts to this list and I had an awesome Christmas! I can't wait to hit the water with my new baits. I see a preliminary trip to the swimming pool in my near future!

So if you got some cool fishing stuff for Christmas, let's see it.

The cranks are from my SS. The Pflueger reel, I got off of ebay for $25 and no shipping. (new still in the box) I've never used IMA cranks, I can't wait.

Ordered some stuff from Tackle Warehouse yesterday. Okuma Inspira Hybrid, some line, and shaky worms.

I'll throw some pics up here when the stuff arrives!

Thingfish · 12-27-12, 09:43 PM

I got the Okuma Inspira and some other stuff from TW myself. I also picked up a 5 weight fly rod and reel for when I want to make fishing really tough!

dizzy_ghs · 12-28-12, 01:30 AM

I got a Winch and the Veritas Winch rod.

bluebasser86 · 12-28-12, 03:02 AM

I got a couple packs of Huddlebugs from my fishing buddy, that's all the fishing stuff I got for Christmas minus some BPS gift cards. I did buy myself a Mattlures hardbass, trout, and a few packs of minnows during his Christmas sale, pretty excited to get my hands on the bass and toss it around a bit.

Captmikestarrett · 12-28-12, 10:24 AM

I got a BPS gift card and that is it.

The rest was just stuff. First year I did not ask for fishing stuff. Wait I just remembered I did get a battery isolater so I can build a guest power network on my boat.

Yea I did ask for fishing stuff.

Nice haul Joe!....I like those Santone Jigs (they make nice swimjigs and spinnerbaits as well!) ...I got a BPS card and plan on getting some of those Punisher hair jigs as well for float-n-fly.

I had a nice score....Revo STX , misc tackle , battery charger , and my sister and Dad had me some long sleeve fishing shirts made with my logo/name on them.....That was probably my favorite........Ok I lied, the STX was

3dkicker · 12-28-12, 05:45 PM

I'm at a point now my family wouldn't have a clue as to what to buy me. Even if I did give them the page of the catalog and circle the item.......so I don't get anything

So I hold off the monkey and wait for the show season to begin. First flea market will be here soon and I can't wait for the Rat Killer deals!!!

nobass · 12-28-12, 09:14 PM

Nope. Didn't really need anything - no fisherman ever says that, but it happens to be true in my case.

Cabela's Guidewear is the best, but the insulated stuff is too warm for me. I like the uninsulated - it's good down to 40 degrees or so, with a sweatshirt or fleece under it. But it will keep you dry, fishing the entire day in a steady rain.

I just bought a gen 3 revo SX that is in the mail using Christmas money. I also got myself a spro king daddy frog, a little John DD, and a fat papa 70 by spro too. And of course all my awesome secret Santa stuff from Dean (Watterboy).

Very nice! You do the same thing I do, buy your secret santa person stuff and get yourself a few of the same. I am amazed by how big that Spro Kind Daddy frog is! That thing will be a blast to fish!

I don't have the Fat Papa 70 but the 55's look sweet. I think Russ hit a homerun with these baits. Spro makes great baits, they are one of my favorite companies.

Spro makes awesome baits, not only their frogs. The little johns really made me a believer in their crankbaits, so I tend to send some money their way. And I was surprised by the size too of the king daddy. But there is a pond with some huge fish that I fish a frog in that I pretty much bought it for, so it will be perfect.

keithdog · 12-30-12, 12:28 AM

I got a new scale, a Rapala Clackin Rap, and a few other things I bought today. Planning on posting a couple pics tomorrow.

66KingFisher · 12-31-12, 01:59 PM

The kids gave me a new fishing knife from Cutco thats pretty cool....extendable blade, and the sheath has a built in line cutter and wetstone/hook sharpener, plus it doubles as a fish grabber.
