Is this new bait smelling perhaps something like the Deps CoverScat? https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Deps_Cover_Scat_Soft_Stick_Bait/descpage-DCSWW.html

I guess it's called the Yamatanuki . Should be interesting if it's a fish catcher

Did I just hear the announcers say something about a 25% off Tackle Warehouse sale coming up?! Maybe I have selective hearing and just wanted to hear something I wanted to hear...

Perfect response! I could see the TW & BPT so close to each other, both in time and distance, makes it a no brainer as almost using the TW tourney as some form of practice / dry run like you said. Making more money makes sense too. If it was a open and wheeler wanted to fish it, so be it, as most other pros who fish opens. I'm thinking more almost from the organizer side of things, they get to 'pick' who they invite, and thus wheeler was invited knowing he was also on the BPT. An interesting choice for an invite. Interesting to know he will only fish 3 of 6. May as well just fish what he can.

Dumb question, forgive me. I'm wondering why Wheeler is both on the TW pro tourneys (invite only) and also the Bass Pro Tour (invite only). Thinking the TW pro trail is like the 'farm league' and the BPT is the 'main league', it seems it would be better to give someone else wheelers spot on the TW pro tour. I know for an open tourney, that's different, it's open to anyone, but given MLF is running both tours, it's interesting they invited him to both within the same umbrella organization. You would think it's going to scatter him more and make it tougher to focus on the BPT. I think all the guys in the TW pro tour are vying for a spot up in the BPT tour (graduate from the tw pro to the bpt if you will). Since Wheeler already got his spot in the BPT tour, why does he step down back to the TW Pro tour? I'm just rambling on and curious...

B-Lat with another good one. Tough to say what he's throwing on that spinning rod. Looks maybe like some kind of weightless worm? I'm not convinced it's a senko? Haha yeah, there are some standards out there such as the IFGA line class records, etc etc. But as for tourneys, which are a form of gambling, the organizers get to set the rules, such as no alabama rigs, etc etc. However, I would overall say, the de-facto standard of bass fishing is the cumulative weight of a 5 fish limit.

A lot of the top top pro tourneys do not allow a net. This invitational I don't believe is a top top pro tourney. It is not the 'Bass Pro Tour'. It's super confusing... Yup, tourney formats change, and even change year to year. MLF BPT for a long time did all catch and release and unlimited catches, now I believe they are going to a 5 fish limit style.

Yeah, that was a super fun one to watch. The announcers had some fun with that. Tense moment for sure. Glad he landed it! He's got a hint of IKE in him hahaha

MLF Tackle Warehouse Invitationals - Lake Okeechobee - Live Now Well this tourney is being broadcast live on their website. I guess an invitational is not an open, but also not the bass pro tour, even though all these poor souls have to fish against Wheeler in this invitational LOL 5 fish limit. Looks like around 21lbs is leading right now, and seems a large chunk of guys are just flippin. I heard something about limited areas of clean fishable water, perhaps due to the Hurricane, etc. Watch Live: https://majorleaguefishing.com/events/2023-02-08-lake-okeechobee/live/

I was there a week or two ago and they had a bag or two left of the black/blue and green pumpkin. both solid colors. Unfortunately there wasn't much left when I got there.

LOL I'm late to the game and its OOS fast!

Hmmm reducing pack size by 3, sounds like a common economic thread... At least it sounds like the price per count went down? Lets more importantly hope the quality doesn't go down

I would say no, not really any 'new' code. There has been 4 previous codes, etc.

I have received many orders, I'm currently waiting to get kicked out of the house by the wife. Luckily some of them were 'gifts' for family members, etc. In fact, I went to order a different size reel after receiving the first one and realizing it was too small. I tried this afternoon and it seems I can't get any of the codes to work. Is it true the onslaught is over? HAHA ****EDIT**** I stand corrected, they stopped me from using the same code twice on the same account. Problem solved.

I'm sure we have massively depleted the pure fishing inventory, anyone have any clue if any 'out of stock' items would be coming back into stock anytime? I assume things like the stunna they are constantly producing and will add back in stock once they receive more? Anyone see something that was out of stock come back in?

I mean.... this will be their biggest revenue month all year... so.... it's a double edge sword

They must have just brought all the workers in, I just got 2 email shipping confirmations about the same time as you guys. Crazy how they all went out at the same time!

Yikes, I'm afraid some of these pure orders aren't going to get fulfilled... dang it... I got quite a few, but had one or two more that I was really hoping to get... I guess it would have been better if I had placed one larger order, instead of 5 random orders. Maybe the 5 orders threw the red flag... dang it.

EMPTY?! wow. sorry to hear I think UPS or someone else should have to deal with some of this and not just pure...I'm sure working with either isn't easy

All my boxes seem to have some form of small damage, but so far, no snapped rods or any broken guides... keeping fingers crossed. I'm sorry this happened I wonder if we can 'refuse' shipment before the UPS guy hands it over if the box is that damaged and rod damaged?

Pure just smoked me again... for the third 'time' (code).... Just when I said I was done... I guess I wasn't... this is worse than a drug addiction.... the 'pure' bait monkey has taken me and spun me and pummelled me wayyyy to hard ? I cry uncle! Have you guys been running these pure codes for the past 10 yrs and just no one ever told me?

hopefully it's a nice one! was it on a deal, or was this the previous pure fishing deal?

Sounds like customer service is definitely lacking. Perhaps something that happens always, or maybe even more right now if they are overwhelmed with orders! I love to support the small guys, but also struggle when the customer service is tough... Despite some of these good sales, we always have the option of what retailers we like to work with based on many things such as customer service. I suppose you could have bought the same Grande Bass baits from Tackle Warehouse, but maybe at a higher price, etc (even though they did have a 20% off black Friday sale...) Anyways, I hope everyone gets their Grande order direct and things work out! Side note, I called Dobyns rod direct yesterday and they immediately picked up the phone and I had a nice convo with a human. Always been happy with Dobyns!

I can't believe you guys pulled another code. This is UNREAL! Deals of the century boys!! Hmm are these virtual rods good? Never heard of em... I mean... I don't need the 'virtual' aspect, but shall I just use the rod as a 'rod'? I guess for 25 bucks they are better than most?

Pretty wild. Thanks for the help. I would say one of the better codes / sales / discount of the year. Glad this code was discovered, we did some 'damage' last night with it haha Can anyone say flat worms at 50% off? hahaha
