And I bought 4 packs of spinnerbait blades for some spinnerbaits I am getting ready to make for slow rolling this spring, as well as an inflatable life jacket.

I wanted to get some more of the KVD 1.5's but it was not a suprise to me that they were pretty well sold out. For the record I didn't buy these baits because the Classic was won on it, I bought them because I was wanting some more squarebills and I really liked the profile of these baits.

I have been making a big attempt this winter to stock up on all the softplastics that I use a lot so that I can keep 2 few bags in the boat of each bait/color and 5 more of each bait/color on the pegboard in the garage. This way when I go through a bag in the boat then I can replace it with a bag out of the garage. Once a month I will go over the pegboard and do an inventory to see what I need to get back to having 5 bags of each bait/color and restock. This way I will make a list of exactly what I need and will help me cut down on impulse buys while I am standing in the store trying to remember what I need. It will also keep me from buying bags of baits that I thought I needed only to find that I had 3 more bags in the boat that I didn't know I had overlooked. This all started with making a list of all of these baits for Christmas and birthday presents, and then buying what I didn't get for presents in a few trips. I am pretty close to having all of the baits on my list now. A few colors of Speed Craws and Brush hogs and I should be set.
