The originals had green on the bottom and were amazing for dirty/stained water. Personally, I was disappointed in the new color being solid black... The fish probably won't care. Originally I had ordered the Wicked 1.5 but they were out of stock and my patience is non-existent this time of year. The green eye deal on the 6th sense is cool, but again, the fish prob don't care. Buying any new crank online is always a bit of an adventure lol Quote

Super User PhishLI Posted February 8, 2019 Super User Posted February 8, 2019 My brother isn't a member here. When I see anything juicy posted in the "Latest sale" thread I send it to him. About 3 weeks ago he left me a voice message. It went like this: "Listen, man. You have to stop sending me these links. I have 10 setups. I've received 79 packages with fishing stuff since you brought me to your lake in April. I'm good for life. I'm done. Please stop." So I stopped.  I just got a text from him with the caption "Aren't they pretty?" I had to smile. Such a junky!  Brand "never to be said" 7'4" HF with a Curado K. St. Croix Bass X 7'4" HF with a Pflueger Patriarch.   4 Quote

The balance feels a little bit better to me, but that may just be more gripping options with a more flush handle. Quote

Vilas15 Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Got some drop shot weights to try it out for the first time. Lunker City 1/4 oz and 3/8 oz. Planning on using them with swimbaits, flukes, maybe even live leeches. Don't have any dropshot specific baits but they'll come eventually. Quote

Was that a one-day event? I think somebody else mentioned something about it being only one day. I'm trying to decide if I want to drive back out there again. I know it's got to be picked over and there's only going to be stuff I don't want, but it keeps calling me.... Quote

I don't think so but it was pretty well picked through at noon yesterday at one store and other one didn't have anything I wanted 1 Quote

HeyCoach Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I picked up a pair of swim jigs the other day.  Pacemaker Pulse swim jigs designed by Cliff Pace. One white and one in a bluegill color pattern. I believe both are 3/8oz. Quote
CrankFate Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I do not buy baits in mass. I rarely have more than 5 or 6 packs of plastics at a time. I sometimes buy 50-100 of the most common hooks I use once a year or so. Picked these two up this week from outlet BT.  I usually buy a pack or two of whatever catches my eye each outing. 3 Quote

Super User new2BC4bass Posted February 12, 2019 Super User Posted February 12, 2019 Well....my TW order got shipped yesterday before I could add a few more lures to my order. Sniper casting rod on sale and a bit over $130 in lures and it doesn't seem like I got very many lures.  Received a Villain 2.0 casting rod yesterday from a private seller. Which brings up a question. How come many private sellers take no care in packaging a rod? I've got 3 broken (upon arrival) sitting in my basement. Sellers got there money. Not expensive rods, but I still probably ate $200. Tips broken off all three. Was very lucky this rod arrived in one piece. Nothing wrapped around it, no cap on one end. When I tipped the tube up to see which side I should open, the sound of the rod sliding around had me fearing it would be in two or more pieces. Last rod I received like that had about 4 inches broke off the tip. End of rant.

I ordered a 13 Fate spinning combo from Dick’s sporting goods when they had a sale a little while back and it arrived in just a long cardboard box. No rod tube, no protection inside at all, (Not even a plastic sleeve!) so of course the tip was broken off above the 2nd eye. I called customer service to see if I could mail it back and get a replacement but they could only do refunds and that it could take up to 60 days to get my money back if I shipped it to them. They said I could return it in store and get a replacement that way. I called the closest store (80 miles away) and they did have some in stock so I loaded up and took a road trip. When I got to the store there was one combo left and it had an anti-theft device wound so tight on the spinning reel that it had broken the anti-reverse gears in the reel. I spoke with a manager to see if I could swap the reel from my original combo to the combo that was in store with the broken reel. He had to call another manager down and it took them a half an hour to finally agree to let me leave the store with a functioning rod and reel combo. I love the sales that Dick’s sporting goods have but their customer service is a joke. What big name retailer ships a rod in just a plain cardboard box? Quote

Super User NorthernBasser Posted February 12, 2019 Super User Posted February 12, 2019 Speaking of rod packaging. I was gonna order a rod a while back from a site I've never used before. They were gonna charge $8 for a rod tube to ship it in. Yeah, no thanks. Quote
SWVABass Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Bass pro and TW are the only places I’ve ordered rods and had nothing but good luck with them. Quote
