Super User J._Bricker Posted December 10, 2019 Super User Posted December 10, 2019 Just part of what the Bait Monkey said I needed to have sent my way. Some from a familiar, trusted source, some from another. I was intrigued after a @Bluebasser86 post of the Provoke, a couple of mine are on back ordered from TW, and how they compare the Visions... 10 Quote

That Provoke looks good. What color did you get?  Be careful with the Ish squarebills. I had a few years ago and for whatever reason, they bloated and split in almost no time. Hopefully they've fixed that issue with their blanks. 1 Quote

Hopefully, it was just a bad run and they fixed the problem. But I’ll keep an eye out none the less. 5 Quote

Dirtyeggroll Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 Got into a little tossle with the bait monkey when those Curado 70XG’s went on sale at TW. I held him off pretty good until they went out of stock. He bit me pretty good. I hope it doesn’t get infected. 3 1 Quote

I saved $1220 total.  I got the Xtasy's for $395 each, the Extreme for like $240, Champion Glass for $160, Champion Spinning rod for $150, Lew's TP-1 for $65, Fenwick HMX for $35, Lew's Tournament MB reel for $80, 13 Fishing Concept Z for $70, etc.. I got some great deals and this was my first fishing Black Friday. I used a 6'0 2 piece Ugly Stik Gx2 this past season and a Black Max reel. The year before that I started out with a Zebco 202 combo. 8 minutes ago, fishwizzard said: What are you going to throw with this rod? I was looking at one myself but a "too good to pass up" deal came up on another rod, so I didn't get the 702c. I was thinking of using it as a dropshot rod to replace a shorter/faster one I am using now.  Ned rig, Shakyhead, Wacky rig and sometimes dropshot. I'm thinking the Lew's TP-1 ML Spinning rod might be my dropshot rod, but won't know until I get some time on them. The Extreme seems like it will dropshot good, it has a nice tip, but just not as soft as the TP-1. I'll have to see if the Exterme's bite detection is going to be better for me or the softer tip of the TP-1 for dropshot.  I did make some cast with the Extreme 702c with a Ned rig the other day in a small section of water that wasn't frozen yet, and it was super nice and the orange Concept Z looks crazy on it, but I'm sure some people won't like it. I have a feeling I will use that 702c almost as much as the Xtasy 723c.   3 Quote
