My break from winter blues.

Nothing big or special, but was an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours here in the frozen north. Went to BPS today, spent a couple hours just poking around and checking things out. Picked up a few things I wanted to get before the spring thaw. I've been wanting to try the BPS XPS Minnow jerkbait, so I picked out the 5" Chrome/black Back model. Very similar to my favorite jerkbait made by Excaliber. I want to see if it performs anything like the Excaliber. It weighs 7/8 oz. so I should be able to get nice long cast, even on windy days which are the norm here in springtime. Going to replace the hooks on it with Mustad Triple Grips, the red ones. Not that I'm a huge color red guy, but my Excaliber jerkbait I love so much has red hooks, so keeping apples with apples. Also picked up another buzzbait made by Hart. It's a very plain jane buzzer, but was on sale for $1.99 so I figured, why not get one. At that price I can mess around with customizing it if I like and not be concerned about ruining a good buzzer. Also a pack of white/chatruese Starflash skirts and 3 packages of various Triple Grip trebles. Picked up a few lottery tickets too on the way home, so that if I win I can get that boat I really want! Have a great weekend everyone.
