Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)

Well, that self-imposed timeout from new tackle didn't last as long as I anticipated. I lost one of my new 110's last week and figured I better replace that with three more. Friggin Bait Monkey...

Yea it does. I've wanted one for a while and now I can say it's finally coming. Would've liked it in the 7 ratio but it wasn't in stock for the lhr so I'll settle for an 8 ratio. It'll teach me to slow down something I struggle with

[bh91]

You should've done 2 orders and used that fish hound $5 code each plus get 2 stickers and 2  shirts

Why not buy the JDM from Japan Lure and save $125, they have the ratio you want in stock?

Don't really need two stickers and they owe me a shirt because some how somebody forget to put it in the box last order.  So after an email they put a notice on my account so I'm getting two this time.

I thought about it for a while last night but for some strange reason whenever I order out of the country no matter what it is it takes weeks to get. All while everybody else gets their stuff right away. Makes no sense to me but it happens every time

Did you actually empty this cart??

I stocked up as well. Their hard baits are an absolute steal for that price and they catch me plenty of fish. Just caught a solid 5lber on one of their bluegill colored lipless baits.

 

Just received Tatula CT #3. This one is a 6.3 that I'm gonna use on my moving baits rod. Can't beat this thing for $98.

 

Also stocked up on yum plastics from dicks for $2 a bag.

That's how I acquired my big purchase of soft plastics from dicks. Yum was $2 a bag and the zoom was but 3 get one free

Get off my shoulder you filthy monkey! Haha just kidding,stay as long as you like.Bait monkey told me I needed a new reel to pair with the new Mojo Bass rod I bought 3 days ago.

Yup. I'll take a pic when everything arrives. The wait is seriously rough knowing I finally got a metanium on the way

I cleared Dick's out of several packs of Trokar EWG hooks in size 3/0 and 4/0 today, gotta love BOGO!

Clearance drew me in again. Got all this for  $18. The red label was $3! All hooks were .75 a pack except the KVD jika rigs which were $1

 

 

$0.75 Gamakatsus?!! Good score! Where did you find them?

Walmart. They cut the price in half too. Last time I bought them from clearance a week or two ago, they were $1.50 a pack and that was when I really loaded up.  For some reason they have all of the Mustad, Gamakatsu, and a couple other good brands on clearance and everything they are keeping in stock is cheap Eagle Claw bait holder hooks and pre-snelled hooks. Kind of irritates me but i guess after going through the clearance rack a few times, I shouldn't have to buy hooks for a while.

Probably because they can't sell the premium tackle as well as they can with the cheaper stuff.

I'm sure that's exactly it. Which sucks though because the nearest big sporting goods stores are all 50-60 miles away! Oh well, I'm pretty well stocked up now.

It had two fastach clips and a barrel swivel. They are called mustad fastach x-rig

The bait monkey was very active last year. I stocked up on a bunch of stuff, two rod/reel set ups, quite a few hard baits, especially topwaters and swimbaits and many plastics that I don't really need.

 

When I got the SS Minnow out of winter hibernation, it was all downhill. Spent my time from April 1 to mid July just getting my motor working properly. Finally got it but the weather was not good in the fall so I called it quits early. All together I think I went fishing about 8 times total. So the result is that I haven't spent ANY of my money on tackle this year. Not a single cent.

 

All I want is one or possibly two more topwaters and that is all. So there.
