Bait monkey conspiracy

[MississippiBoy]

It has become apparent to me that the bait monkey has recruited various members of my family, along with some friends, in his battle against my common sense. For my Christmas presents this past year, he made my parents, my grandmother, and my wife's best friend buy me (oh, the horror!) Bass Pro gift cards!!!
Between the three of them, I ended up with $175 to spend. Now you may say this is a good thing...after all, it's not MY money. It's somebody else's.
On the surface, it is a good thing. However, the monkey is wily and patient, and will wait for his chance for long periods of time. He knows that if I'm spending these gift cards freely, it softens my resistance to his "suggestions" later on. He'll let them give me free stuff now, accepting the sacrifice so that later, once all the gift cards are gone, he'll have a psychological advantage over me, and I'll be putty in his paws.

This is what the gift cards bought me:

3 Bandit 100 crankbaits
1 Bandit 300 crankbait
1 Super Spook
1 Super Spook Jr.
4 spinnerbaits-1 KVD, 1 Booyah, and 2 Strike King
1 X-Rap
1 Shad Rap
3 packs of Flukes/Super Flukes
1 pack of hook weights to use with the flukes
2 packs of Strike King Floating finesse worms for shaky heads
1 pack of Spot Removers
1 Bandit Flat Maxx deep crankbait
1 Norman Deep Little N crankbait
1 Bomber Fat A crankbait
2 Spro Bronze Eye Jr. frogs
2 Packs of Berkley power Worms
2 Packs of Paca Craws
1 pack of Baby Paca Craws
1 Pack of Zoom U-Tale worms
1 pack of Culprit worms

He is indeed a sneaky crittur. I must keep my guard up, because I've already realized I need more. He made me forget the Tiki Stiks I had planned on getting. Do you see his strategy? I HAVE to go back now, and all the free money is gone.

I'm doomed
