Title: $150 to spend at Bass Pro
Post by: FishingNewEngland on Dec 26, 2008, 12:11 AM: What should I buy? I'm planning on at least one more jig rod. What else is "must have" on the ice? Got 3 $50 cards today for Christmas. ;D

They have ton to choose from, but mostly camo (hunting). FWIW...I think you can get a better deal elsewhere. (Sports Authority or Dicks) Realizing you have the cards might make the difference. I bought boots at building 19 that I've had for a long time and only spend 30 bucks.....

Good Price and waterprood, i recommend checking the weight as sometimes these styles feel like they drag you down after a while.

Post by: Buck762 on Dec 26, 2008, 06:49 PM: If I had the money I'd get runners for my shanty, and a cover for the shanty. I'd also buy new boots

So I wound up getting a pair of "Alpha" Rackmaster boots, a jigging rod for my son, a couple of rod holders and a crap load of jigs with some money left over. Now all I need is some ice....
