Berkley Fusion weedless wide gap
Low cost, sharp, versatile
Quickly became a favorite for wacky, neko, and drop shot
Almost always in the roof of the mouth

Been hand making all my Baby Doll Jigs for 30 years. Belt sanding, drill pressing eye socks, drimmel work then painting and installing all the parts. Now I have CAST Industries doing most of that for me with exact casting of the jigs. I still install the eyes and build the skirts; but what a blessing to have a nice professional looking product.

I gotta stop working so much. I think I've only bought MAYBE $50 worth of lures all year and only spent around 15 days on the water.

I'm a big fan of ExOfficio boxers briefs. They are advertised as 17 countries, 6 weeks, 1 pair of underwear. I wouldn't recommend that kind of use, but these things are awesome on a hot day of fishing.

I bought a MTB gift order for my buddies and we had monthly unboxing videos
which kept us in touch for a good year of fishing trips.
Didn’t use many of the lures yet but it was fun to get some different lures to try.

bought my wife a cricut cutting machine for her scrapbooking --crafts and stuff
sure made my fishing life a lot better !
Yea, I went that route a couple years ago. Things were great until her crafting habit grew much bigger than my tackle habit. Eventually lost up my Rod building room to reams & reams of crafting paper. Now I'm looking at building a "She Shed" to hold all of her junk. And it all started with a single Cricut machine... Lol
Best thing I bought this year? Upgraded electronics. The bigger screens are a great help for my old eyes.

Bought a Fish Pond summit sling pack. Almost all of my fishing is done with fly rod and either wading or drift boat with guides. This lets me have the necessities handy and accessible.

I traded for a G-Rod made with the single wide carbon atom material, graphene, as part of its structure.
Mine is the trout rod and oh! I like the way it loads up and casts light lures.
I might have to try one of their bass rods next year. I understand the firm is re-engineering/re-designing its rods a bit for the USA market.
