Yall all know me. I’m like Mikey from the Life cereal commercials back in the day. send me a link, I’ll buy it…

I went into another academy and realized the extra 75% on clearance wasn’t going on any longer. Thought I had found the deal of the century. Two spools of Tatsu 20#. I don’t fish Tatsu at $63/spool. I might would fish Tatsu at $38/spool. I would definitely have fished it at 75% off of $38.00! Grabbed some rod socks instead.

Alright - seriously - we need to all get together and fish soon. Someone agree? We’re all “local-ish”.

Thanks all. I’m still debating everything at this point. I’m not Bonafide loyal, though I do love their products. I’m fortunate enough to live in Huntsville, AL where KBF is headquartered. I’m also fortunate enough to have Chad’s phone number and we chat often. So, I won’t have any issues with rigging and such as there is a large room in the HQ bldg that is for outfitting and video productions.

I have started easing in the academy branded waterproof boxes. The 3700 are $8.99 and the 3600 are $6.99. I sold most of my edge boxes. To me, if you’re worried about the price of busbee, don’t even look at edge boxes. They are both in the same price category.

I currently fish out of a Bonafide SS127. I love the boat and have used it quite frequently over the past 4 or so years. However, I’m tired of paddling. I’m also tired of loading a 13’ kayak in the back of the truck. So, my thoughts below. Let me know what you think of each please? 1) upgrade to a 10/11’ pedal kayak. Old Town PDL 106 or something of the like. or upgrade SS127 specific 2) bixpy through hull pod adapter and motor/battery 3) trolling motor bow/stern mount 4) torqeedo Note options 3/4 would require me getting a trailer as well. Would sell the 127 to offset some costs…

Went to my academy again today. Bought some new 6th sense neoprene rod socks. Picked up a few more of the KVD Elite 300 Jerkbaits in the colors I didn’t get the other day. A couple more crankbaits, another s waver 120. All in, I think I paid about $15 for everything (rod socks not included). I have to travel tomorrow to umpire some baseball games and get to go by another academy and a dicks that has fishing. Hoping to stock back up on Evo’s.

Drive a little north to Dale Hollow?

Mine here have been so hit and miss lately, but after this sale and the reset of the section, it’s very satisfying.

Stopped by academy on the other side of town this morning. Nothing in their clearance section of note. Both of our stores here in HSV just reworked their fishing sections, and they are nice, neat and tidy, easy to find what you’re looking for now. That said, I found one section of hard baits that was just a mush-mash of things, some with price labels, some without. Figured I’d grab one and see if it happened to be on sale. Yup…so, I grabbed the below… 5 KVD Elite 300 Jerkbaits, $3.25/ea 1 whopper plopper 75, $2.25 1 SK Hybrid Hunter, $1.50 1 KVD Sexy Dawg, $2 2 Rapala OGT-7, $2.25/ea 1 Yozuri 3DBPencil, $2 2 R2S S Waver 168s, $3.25/ea

You know exactly where on GVille? I don’t have to work until 4 tomorrow afternoon… 😏

A mere 8 degrees warmer down here in Huntsville!

Welcome from Huntsville. Daughter lives in Livingston and works in Cookeville/Crossville. Is the fishing there public?

I handled one at work the other day and for $99, I think I’m going to let it just sit there, for $250, I wouldn’t have even opened the box. This thing does not feel like a $100 reel, much less a $250 one. I like to just spin the handle/spool on a reel while at work talking to people. That said, this handle doesn’t spin, it feels like it has 100% drag on all the time. Kinda feels clunky and toy-like as well…sold the crap out of them at $99 though…

Don’t have a pic - went to academy today…additional 50% off of clearance $57 total 2 300y spools of 832, 50# 8” cull shad 8 different 6th sense hard baits 20oz Diet Coke BPS - a finesse crankbait just to use my discount on something other than a Diet Coke at my home store 😂
