Upgraded from a 3600 soft-sider to a 3600 guide series and it let me add a few trays... Maybe should have gone with the 3700 though, it BARELY fits it all! (Maybe that's a good thing for now though?)

If anyone has a good solution let me know. I will get a plano 3700 for new baits,techniques etc. Then I have to fill up the entire box because the empty space drives me nuts. So I buy more baits until the box is filled to capacity. Then the Box is full so I can't put any more baits in it. So I buy a second, a third, fourth box. I have 4 boxes of cranks and it is jam packed. I always need different colors, new baits, etc. I am beginning to realize that I dont need to compete with the guys on the Elite Series with their boats, electronics, rods, and baits. Maybe I will actually be able to put the monkey back in his cage. Quote

dignan2121 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I had pretty good luck on Amazon. I bought two revo stx gen 3 for $147.25 minus $20 Abu mail in visa rebate for 127.25 a piece. I also bought a Veritas 2.0 for 79.00 and they accidentally sent me two in the box and told me to keep the second one!!! 7 Quote

Super User Jrob78 Posted March 4, 2016 Super User Posted March 4, 2016 Something a little different. Megabass Orochi 13 Snake Slider balsa bait. 9 Quote
WI_Angler1989 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I just pulled the trigger on a new Shimano Stradic FK 2500 spinning reel! I. Am. Psyched!!! I also got a 600yd spool of 8# Yo-Zuri hybrid line too. It's (14.99 vs 12.99 for 275yd...seems like a good deal). After xmas gift cards and a few promo codes the $220 order was $127. 7 Quote
wisconsin heat Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Took advantage of the Sebile sale. 3 colors of the lipless crank, 3 colors of the bull crank, and 2 colors of the smaller bull crank. I bought 4 of each color. Total came to around $78. Not bad for 32 quality hardbaits! 1 Quote

What really drives me nuts is knowing that I have bought stuff that I either won't use, or won't want to use because I prefer a different type or brand. I don't mind space in a tray, that just means there's room for trying new stuff! 4 hours ago, WI_Angler1989 said: I just pulled the trigger on a new Shimano Stradic FK 2500 spinning reel! I. Am.

robster80 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 went to local academy snagged the last 2 xcalibur one knockers in foxy shad thwey finally started carrying 6th sense stuff. was al i could do to keep myself from leaving with an arm full of 6th sense but instead allowed myself one crush 75x to go along with the xcaliburs. the zoom sale was tempting but ive got plenty of soft plastics Quote
adam lancia Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 I don't have any pics right now so you're just gonna have to take my word for it... The bait monkey has been quite rambunctious this off season. So far, I have picked up a few lure lots with various cranks, jigs and a few frogs (which I have never thrown before), 3 of the Chinese BFS spools, a TD-Z 100ML which was missing some parts but had the spool (which is what I really wanted), a partial TD-Z 103ML which I'll be using for heavy topwaters, a Pixy Type R which I'll be using for spybaits (once I have a rod built), a few Spinbait 80's, 1 spool of #6 P-Line FC, 2 spools of Sniper (8# & 12#), 2 spools of P-Line C21 (#6 & #8), 1 spool of #15 P-Line CX, 3 spools of Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft Hybrid (#6, #10 & #15), a Td-Ito 103HL which I'll be using for finesse jigs and weightless senkos with a ZPI 002 spool, a Pixy Airy Red for shakey heads and tubes (complete with box, oil and papers), and most recently I scored a used 7' ML Tatula for $80 shipped then a new 7' M Tatula for $90 shipped. I have to give the monkey credit though, he made sure that what he wanted was either a great used deal or on sale... 1 Quote
