I'm hoping this is the last of my GAS for this winter. Just pulled the trigger on a 9' 8 weight fly rod. Now for new line & backer. After this I'd better be done because if my wife finds out I'll really be done.

LOL my BSP Cart is loaded with the new fly rod, can't pull the trigger yet :evil:

What did u get ?

In keeping with my dedication to 'recycle, re-purpose, reuse' I picked up a Flylogic rod on eBay. I did some research & while it doesn't sound like it will threaten Sage or TFO it's a good rod. Even better - it's US-made - which is a big deal with me. It's used but not much.

I got into fly fishing in 1974, did it for a summer and then again some in the 90s. Haven't done any since so I thought I'd give it a fairly serious try. I'm close to retirement so if I'm lucky I'll have time.

yup me too. Thought I will give it a try this year. I did really enjoy it as a kid. Just have to see if my old arm and shoulder hold up :roll:

Sometimes putting some new hooks on the oldies gets you through the winter. These creek chubs are still top bait in the boat at times.

Niiiice. There was a guy selling a lot of these old school lures at the Tinley show, and reasonably priced. Seems propellers were all the rage at one point in angling history.

I have one of those. It's getting to the point where I'm afraid to use it for fear of losing it.

Tackle Express was having a 15% off sale so I picked up some Red Label 10 lb line and a bunch of Owner dropshot hooks to get over $30 and get their free shipping.

I actually got a few things from tackle express. Two spy baits and a topwater. My plastics came in from Japan too!! I think this is it for my winter haul with this warm weather. except for the stuff in the mail( another swimbait and top waters)

My Fishog order is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, very excited! Have to love $1 bags of plastics.

I got my delivery today. Its very nice stuff, especially for $1. Wish I would have found them sooner before some of the stuff sold out.

Same, wish I could have gotten more. Though can't complain, got probably a season worth of plastics and a spinner for $17. They're good quality though?

 

[Absyne]

Got my order today, very pleased with the quality (we'll see how they hold up). Definitely going to be checking that site out on a regular basis.

Just checked Fishog, they restocked a bit. Also added a jointed crank for $3.

You catch anything on those spybaits? Where are you fishing them if you don't mind me asking.

I haven't used them yet but I plan on throwing them in a pond by my house that's super clear

Golf grip rod, dig it.

Clackin baits were on clearance at Cabela's. $5.99

Bought a bunch of parts online no GAS for me going to make my own top-water prop baits....do some carving, some painting, some drilling, and at some point hopefully some catching.

I like it! I'm tossing around the idea of having a custom spinning rod made and having the winn fishing grips put on it. The rodmaker said that they're great grips, especially for weather, but that durability may be an issue.
