It's crazy I know- It happens though, man! It's an opinion and they're like snowflakes. No two are quite alike and it is beautiful. Cheers to being on different planets and still being both right AND happy! 3 Quote

I've noticed a few times when my back ordered items were in stock for a few weeks but I hadn't been sent yet. Anytime I've sent a polite note it's handled immediately, but you'd think they'd be on that a little better for preorder guys. Certainly not a big deal, just sort of annoying. Quote

So your saying i might not get my sunfish right away? Quote

The reason I want it so bad is because the one pond i fish, sunfish is there primary food, and i caught my pb on a live bluegill. That was almost 3 years ago, which means there could be dd bass in there now I'm currently about to order 2 of those. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that product video!!! If they look half as decent in person as they do in that video, I'll be rolling in large bass this spring. Quote

Super User iabass8 Posted January 14, 2016 Super User Posted January 14, 2016 Got a good deal on a couple TD-Z's /w 90mm handles. Got them in and I really wish I would have taken a before pic. Guy used a mixture of that garbage Hot Sauce + Ardent Reel Butter in both reels. Tore them down to the frame, upgraded a few bearings. Few hours later and some OG Zillion Type R knobs...good as new 6 Quote

nhpleasantlakebass Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I made the mistake of asking my wife for a swimbait for Xmas... She knows how much they cost now.. She wasn't impressed with my box of them anymore. That was a mistake 2 Quote

I had to give the Bait Monkey a snack so he didn't take me to the all-you-can-eat buffet again. On the bright side I got a Megabass trucker hat so others can see I have a problem straight away and avoid contact/subsequent Monkey Flu/scorned wife syndrome. 2 Quote

bunkerbstr Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 $200+ during the last week. Off the wagon. Been 50 days since last purchase. TW order (2 of them because 1 wasn't enough Lol). Nothing special really, just feeding the monkey Basstrix, Aruku Shads, bunch of 6th Sense stuff (75 flat and ****** 70), Jackall crankbaits, a few Pointers, Biwaaa 7 swimbait. No Megabass. Had like 5 in the cart and didn't pull the trigger. Who am I kidding? lol Quote

thomas15 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I've got a couple (8-10) $30.00-40.00 swimbailts and an MS Slammer, none have seen water yet. The only pole I have that can handle heavy baits is an inexpensive Abu Garcia that can go 1.5oz. I had been thinking about something along the lines of a Mojo Bass that is 1-4 oz but that would also involve a new reel and so even carefully shopping sales it would be roughly $250.00 My plan is to actually get the reel first but it would be better for me to hold off for now as I have about 15 rods/reels and way more tackle than I have room to store. For 2016 I really want to concentrate on 2 or 3 basic approaches to things and not try to have every color, style and weight of bait possible. Finess baits, Jigs and senkos and an occasional topwater. So I'm trying to use some disclipline as I don't really need to buy a rod/reel to use 1 or 2 lures. I actually have enough tackle and baits to last me a while. It's hard though and I may need some help getting through the rough times. Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted January 17, 2016 Super User Posted January 17, 2016 Went to a fishing expo today...two packs of keitech fat 4.8" $5 each, clone gills and shadalicious $3 each, sebile swimmers $4 each, live target herring wake baits $4 each, a pointer for $15, and 10 packs of Nikko Worms for $50. The Nikko worms are a Japanese bait and they are a tad pricy at $6 for 4 worms. Greatest plastic I've ever used, they are elastic (30 fish at least per bait) and 3/4 of the bait is an air chamber so they float like nobody's business. It's scary how effective they are on a shakey head. 1 Quote
