JediAmoeba Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 I haven't posted here in a while which means I haven't bought any tackle, right? Wrong. 12 Quote

Super User Cgolf Posted April 21, 2020 Super User Posted April 21, 2020 Finally got my my Dobyns SO order today. All in one piece and looks really good. The DC 684 CB, still need to learn the naming system, really seems to have a soft tip which will work out great. Thinking jerkbait or square bill rod. The Sierra M spinning rod will pair nicely with the ML I already have. 5 Quote
Derek1 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Made a tackle Warehouse order. You can no longer pick the faster shipping. Bummer. 2 Quote

TheScotsman Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Got my fist order from Siebert Outdoors today. Read all the good reviews on them and loved the fact they come with Owner hooks so I took the plunge. Great first impressions and good prices on their terminal tackle as well. Now if my 6th sense order will get here... 12 Quote

Expand Very true. I recently placed an order that GSO delivers in a couple of days. It took a week to arrive and I’m a few hours drive time north of San Luis Obispo. I think with the Covid-19 situation TW may have cut back operations a bit possibly to benefit their employees health. Even better news is TW is still open and shipping tackle to feed the monkey and to those lucky enough to go fish? Quote

I guess I’ll have to feed the monkey from Walmart till then. Quote
Super User Teal Posted April 21, 2020 Super User Posted April 21, 2020 Came in today. I like the small size. Now to spool it up andslide one on one of my existing rods and take the kids down to the river and try it out. Will report back later. So far, I think I got a steal for 55 bucks each. 5 Quote
teethmarks Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 not sure how people are getting shellcrackers. the product website doesnt work and the company doesnt respond to inquiry. are you getting them on ebay? nothing worse than wanting to give a business support and no way to reach them. Quote

Expand I tried to buy some on their site and it wouldn't take my order because it was shipping to Canada. I messaged them on Instagram and said what's up. 2 weeks later I finally got an invoice (through PP) and 4 days later I had my baits. I was hella persistent - I think they're overwhelmed or are very lackadaisy. Good luck! Quote

Super User Teal Posted April 22, 2020 Super User Posted April 22, 2020 Origin C was a success. Spoiled one up with 12 lb floro, and paired it up with an old 703 endurance rod and made a ton of casts throwing a Kietech on a 1/4 and ounce head and then 3/8 Spinnerbait. It casted really well, retrieve was smooth. Still needs some breaking in time. Caught 2 strippers that were over a couple lbs each. I definitely can't base.a.review off of two hours but, that all I need to say I was fairly impressed. No complaints over the drag or breaks. Drag was smooth. Was able to turn the breaks down to 3 after first hour pr.so if getting used to it. Even at full price it's a good reel. I had a second rod an endurance 724 with a Lews Tp throwing same baits and I didn't see a huge drop off in performance by the Origin c. Quote

Smells like fish Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Years from now covid 19 documentaries will state how Jim Sutter and his accomplice Bait Monkey Johnson saved both the economies of U.S. And Japan via online fishing lure orders... 3 4 Quote
Smells like fish Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Walked the frosty bank this am just before daylight threw the Spro Rat 40 in Morning Dawn, liked it so well I just ordered a size 30 in Grey Ghost! That and a pack of Senkos and the monkey said I was ok for the week... And no I didn't catch a single fish though I threw ratty for over 2 hours. Looks great though, it'll happen.... 1 Quote
