pauldconyers Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Yeah, that's what I did too. They had size 1 available and I was going to add it to my order and place it one night but I was tired and said I would do it in the morning. Woke up and it was sold out. LITERALLY you snooze you lose!!! 1 Quote

Super User J._Bricker Posted January 10, 2020 Super User Posted January 10, 2020 My second 25 days TW order. I am looking forward to using the Roboworm Ned offerings with the Trokars. The Rebel Wee Craws are to throw at some trout once the streams/river season opens this spring. 4 Quote
Mbirdsley Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Picked up another new rod today at Walmart. A falcon Jason Christie 6ft8 mh mf square bill/spinner bait caster. It was marked down to 40 bucks from $95. Just need to find a reel for it. Nice to have another moving bait rod. also won my first eBay auction on some lucky craft jerk baits. Got 2 for just over 20 bucks shipped. Won some square bills tonight for under 20 bucks. still saving for a nice heavy slop/0pitching/ punching rod 7 Quote

Those Rebel craws bring back some memories. It's been years since I've used them, but I used to all the time. 1 Quote
walleyecrazy Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 After heavily fishing finesse stuff the last few years I finally decided to get myself a dedicated rig for Ned rigs and hair jigs. Daiwa Tatula Elite 7’6” ML/M fast action paired with a Tatula LT 3000. I’m itching to get this thing on the water and see how sensitive these AGS guides are. 10 Quote

The normal Walmart fishing clearance season is approximately late January and extending into late March. Clearance stuff will then languish throughout the year, scattered about within the clearance section and the fishing section. It can be interesting to see the prices drop throughout that period. I wonder if this rod was a fresh markdown or something that has been sitting around without a tag... I bought several of those rods a few years ago during a clearance and they've been well used.

They had been there for a while. At least last August. There were also 4-5 Black and yellow skeet Reese rods that were marked down to 50 bucks. I bought a all yellow skeet Reese rod last March for 45 dollars. these rodsThan disappeared to make way for Christmas clearance and than reappeared this week Quote

There are stores I've been to, where if they put a yellow sticker on an item and round the price to the nearest dollar, shoppers will descend like locusts and clear the place out. Others... things languish for months and months. In one store, I saw KVD cranking rods go from a clearance sticker from 2014, while retaining the ancient clearance sticker, go back to regular price in 2017. I couldn't convince the manager to sell to me at the clearance price. Last I looked the rod tips were snapped off but still hanging out at full price. Good work saving those rods from imminent danger! Quote

Super User Columbia Craw Posted January 12, 2020 Super User Posted January 12, 2020 My wife is like a sleuth. She looks in the recycle receptacle and sees assorted TW boxes and a large bag of hook bonnets and comes in and says, " Doug.......what did you buy?" Then I show her the six Joann's Fabric receipts and respond, " a couple things." It's all about balance. 3 6 Quote

schplurg Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I bought a telescopic fishing rod because I absolutely need one! What if I'm driving in heavy traffic and see a body of water that looks interesting? What if I'm hiking and happen upon a nice stream full of fish? What if I buy a motorcycle and need to fish? "What if?" asked the Baitmonkey. What if? Well anyways I've never come across any of these scenarios...YET! But surely I will! So I bought a cheap, but supposedly good, BPS collapsible rod. It was only $20. My friend has had one for many years and it's fine. The rod hasn't arrived yet, but I bought a Pfleuger Trion 30 to put on it. $40. I would have got something cheaper but this is lighter weight than the others I saw, and it's a darn fine reel so I can use it on any rod really. Now I probably need some kind of case to protect the rod! Then I'm ready for on-call truck fishing! Except now I need a special tackle box just for the truck, and some baits and terminal tackle, and probably some........(baitmonkey smiles and walks away) 3 4 Quote

Derek1 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Held out all offseason so far, lost myself on a rainy day. This a good start for next season. Couple new things I’m excited to play with. Terrible pic can’t tell what half of it is. I forgot to look for black crank baits. 6 Quote

I can see what is being bought right at the screen! Quote

Probably a delay from the supplier is causing the wait. Quote
