Unless I decide to buy a dedicated drop shot rod I'm probably done for the year. That's because I also bought a boat.... Congratulations on the new boat! However, the funds will continue to flow....

Buffdaddy54 Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 I swear the Baitmonkey and BassPro are in kahoots! Last month I got a 10dollar off in-store purchase coupon which I used,40 dollars on that purchase. Then I get an email with another 10 dollar off coupon for online purchases. That's another 40 dollars, then yesterday I get yet another email, with another $10 off coupon for an in store purchase. That will be at least another $40 purchase. It's a vicious cycle! d**n YOU BASSPRO BAITMONKEY! Quote

Trust me, there was about a period of 10 weeks over the winter where I made a purchase every week. I would get a coupon for $10 off of $30, one for in store purchasss and one for online purchases. I mostly bought stuff that was on sale and tried to keep the total as close to $30 as possible. I eventually got to the point where I was no longer buying things I wanted, but literally searching for things that I might (or might not) find useful. 1 1 Quote

Mumbly Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 I was able to snag 2 Abu Ike 7' medium delay series rods yesterday at a local shop that is getting out of fishing. $139.99 cdn and 70% off. Really sad to see another shop get out of fishing. 2 Quote

haggard Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 After a winter of trying to decide whether or not to get a Curado 200K, told myself the only way to put an end to it was to buy it. Leftie 6.2:1. Application will be the reel for my general purpose, 1 rod 1 reel, go-to bass combo, salt or fresh. Thank you Bait Monkey and Kittery Trading Post. 3 Quote

Super User Master Bait'r Posted April 15, 2018 Author Super User Posted April 15, 2018 Well, I’ve been laying low for a few months while the mountain was open- so much going on I haven’t had really any time to myself since last fall. Now that I’m off for a while I decided to warm up my trigger-pulling finger and get set up with some saltwater gear. Really got into it last year at my buddy’s cabin on the beach in MA and after pulling blues, stripers, black bass, false albies and others it’s hard to avoid obsessing about getting kitted out for the likely scenarios while the ice is out. I set up my Exsence DC with my 8’ green/cork swimbait Crucial that’s good for 1 to 3oz and I use that for lighter plugging, topwater and jigging. Works amazing, could not imagine a lighter and more crisp rig for feeling light bites or keeping a super spook/sw Sammy walking in the strike zone all day. I also picked up a chunking setup too. 10’ Team Daiwa Surf MH spinning rod, fast blank and good for 2-6oz baits. Paired it with a KK baitfeeder III reel w a 2 stage drag and will be using it for weight & bait along with really big jigs. I also grabbed a 9’ Brutus combo for a beater rig, good for 1-5oz that I only really use for gigantic topwaters like the 7 & 9” docs. Then I grabbed a huge stack of baits. Literally filled an entire tackle bag in the past few weeks. Super spooks to docs, diamond jigs to bucktails and Ronz, SPs, spoons, terminal tackle, weights etc etc etc. It’s going to to be a heck of a season. Can’t wait to grill on the beach and wrestle some salt donkeys! Fresh water is right around the corner and I’m excited to get out but I have so much new gear to use at the beach it’s got me buzzing to get it all wet and fish slimey. Cheers BR, the snow is almost gone! 2 Quote
Crankin4Bass Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Picked up a Calcutta 200d for cranking and a Zodias 7'2" H for hollow body frogs. Now I need to find a rod to match the Calcutta and a reel for the Zodias. Thank you bait monkey! Saw a Megabass Destroyer Oneten Special. It was sweet, but I really don't need a $400 jerkbait rod. Must resist... Quote
frosty Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Not really a big purchase, but picked up a couple packages of a senkos today, the really bad part is the bait monkey has got ahold of my 4 year old! He about cried when I told him I didn’t want to stop to look at fishing stuff... he’s done for! 1 Quote

Quarry Man Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Walmart has been pretty good to me lately... but not my bank account. i found a bunch of 300 yard mustard 4 carrier braid for 5 dollars, some mustard hooks for 1$ and power pro slick 8 for 8.50$. Some other good finds in there too... 1 Quote
JawjaBoy Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Found a Lew's Mach Crush 7' MH rod in the clearance rack at Dick's today. Came from combo missing the reel. Couldn't pass it up for $49. It paired up nicely with the Lew's Tournament MB that I picked up a couple of weeks ago! Oh, please excuse the mess on my workbench! I've been trying to do some cleaning and mending and it was the only place available with some light for a pic! 5 Quote

Note the difference in colors from the regular rod, on the exclusive version the orange and black colors are reversed. I actually like this version better. 1 Quote

Yeah I was thinking it didn't look right in the store so I did a little research once I got home and found out that Dick's had their own version with slightly different colors. I agree with you: I like this version better! Quote
WolfyBrandon Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Just put together a new box dubbed "Various Lipless Crankbaits", it consists of different brands of lipless crankbaits, with a good color selection theme for each... WolfyBrandon 10 Quote
