Jon G Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Went to the local Gander Mountain to take advantage of the the closing sales. All baits and line were 40% off. I originally was planning to restock on hooks but they had a lot of stuff I liked on sale. They had at least 30 spools of Smack down for 40% off so I may go back and buy a few more also got a couple spools of mono for leaders. I was also pretty excited to find that Spro Rat. I've been wanting to try one for a while and I snagged that one for $15. 7 Quote

I love my treble covers, I may spend 20 seconds putting on a set and a rod sock but I can have a rod out and ready to fish faster than you can grab something out of the cooler, and I never have a tangle or snag. LOL, I didn't realize this was an old thread until after I posted. I never see anyone talk about treble covers and I really like them. 1 Quote
bh91 Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Gander MTN buy only 15% off in Parker Colorado... But did still get a better price compared to other sites that need to be shipped.. Than stopped by bps since I needed a lure retriever after losing too many lures this past year 2 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 31, 2017 Global Moderator Posted May 31, 2017 My whopper plopper 110's finally made it, and I was finally able to rescue this guy from the dungeon at my local PO. Took him for a test swim today, I think I'm going to really like it. Makes a very nice "bloop" on the twitch. The flat sides let it cut, roll, and glide almost without moving forward. Pops back up hard and bobs a little like a bluegill that's circling the drain. 5 Quote

I haven't really fished it yet, since it's as big as most of the bass in my pond are for now, but that's gonna change really soon. Quote

How tiny is tiny ? I fished one that was probably 100 x 20 feet... Not yards lol. And caught a bass out of it that was probably 16" and hadn't been stocked in years ! You could always grow some monster gills in there ! Quote

There's big bluegill in there, a half dozen nice channel cat too. It'spretty similar dimensions and pretty shallow. I'm sure they can get a couple pounds eventually. 1 Quote
Dorado Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Dicks had buy 2 get 1 free in any combinations of their DTs, Rippin Raps, and Shad Raps. Also, they had $5 special (or 50% off) on some of their LiveTarget lures. Always wanted to try the Crappie pattern to mix it up. Tough to resist at that price point. 6 Quote
Super User MassYak85 Posted June 1, 2017 Super User Posted June 1, 2017 130 dollars of line for 40 bucks, how could I resist... I figure each will get me 3-4 spools of line, and considering I usually change braid once a year or even less often...I should be set on frog line for the next decade lol. 4 Quote

I was only gonna get a couple as well, but then I figured I probably won't get this good of a price for a long time, might as well stock up. Quote

Super User fishballer06 Posted June 2, 2017 Super User Posted June 2, 2017 I stopped by F&S last night. VMC hooks were buy 3, get 3 free. I had went in to get a pack or two of VMC Neko hooks, so I ended up walking out with 6 packs of Neko hooks. Throw in the $10 coupon I had and I was out the door with 6 packs of VMC hooks for a whopping $0.50! 8 Quote
