As Secret Santa gifts begin to make their journeys across the country, Charter members will be sharing what they received. But,,, they need to guess who the gift came from first! Enjoy!

Here's a recap of my Secret Santa Box. I guessed the member (Thank you apenland01) and thought I'd share with you guys.
To our regular members, I would highly recommend becoming a Charter Member if you would like to participate in these Games & Contests that the family & crew here at UB present for us.

My Secret Santa knows I like T-rigging soft plastics. I threw spinner baits almost every trip last year, and I can't wait to try these Ned Dreds!

My Secret Santa is a very good investigator. Me too... Thank you FlatsNBay!

Nice!! Those Berkley Spinner baits are pretty much on par with the KVD ones I have and work great. Flats was my Santa last year and he has some good picks.

Got a GREAT selection of baits from my Secret Santa Mike Cork. He was really paying attention to what I like, some great looking XZone flipping baits that I'm dying to try, Mister Twister Worms in a unique junebug and chartreuse color, 2 spinnerbaits and a sweet looking square bill.

Thanks to my secret Santa got a nice variety of baits, My 5yr old daughter of course was waiting with the box when i got home i think she gets more excited then i do lo. Thanks to UB for doing this each year as for me i get super excited to see what comes from out side the area as a different insight and something from out side of the box as a lot of the time we get stuck in our ways of fishing certain baits. In this case my favorite was the Brian Schmidt hair/rubber hand tied jig. Not sure why i have never seen these before but stoked to try it out, just makes since. Also the purple jigs assuming could be used as a swim jig. AS far as who my santa was, well everyone know i can not guess. its from Florida. So ill guess RangerandBass, Topsm0138 or BassinLou. Thanks to the one of you for the baits.

You got me!  I know those purple jigs look weird but they work for me here in FLA.  I get a jig maker back in Ontario to make them for me. 
I hope some of the stuff work for you, they are all tried and true baits for me.
Merry Christmas. 😁

My Santa came through for me.  I got some baits I love.  Missile baits but in 2 styles I've never seen and a colour that looks awesome. Flukes which work everywhere. Keitechs which rule. And a couple Hammerhead hair jigs, which might be interesting here in fla, but rock with smallest up north.
Now the question of who, has me stumped. A couple names came to mind but one has been ruled out so I'm making a wild guess of Captain Lee

Was there any notes? Was it postmarked? Have you checked the tracking?

My secret Santa was good to me. I got several Mike Bucca Bill Gill. I can't figure out who my Secret Santa was. Thank you very much.

It was post marked from a bait store in Haynes City FLA. So I think anyone could of arranged that. But it was one reason I picked Captain Lee
