I am hush. I spent almost 1000 dollars in the past week. I thought I was pretty good for the year...I didn't think I really needed anything. I THOUGHT I left the monkey locked up in the garage. As soon as I get the last reel (coming tomorrow) I will post a pic. Or, pics. Sigh 3 2 Quote

JediAmoeba Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Ok, so I got the final reel today - the updated Lexa HD 300 in a 6.3:1 ratio for swimbaiting. I was really looking forward to this overdue update! Anyway, I am still trying to figure out how I blew my budget away for the next few months in a week... lol. I am excited to use the Tatula 150p, a 5.5:1 ratio crankbait reel. Btw, not pictured which I also got was 6 more rod socks and some line. 12 1 Quote

Please do. See Lin or Daniel. Lin owns the shop and he has some fantastic stories. Ask him to do a G-Man impression. Daniel is a great guy, too. Small shop in Toano but outstanding items from Japan that you can't get anywhere else. Have fun and bring money! Quote
Dangerfield Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 @JediAmoeba That's a beauty haul MFer haha, I'm interested in how that milliken fishing rod performs. He's a good dude but his click bait titles are brutal. He's either quitting YT or fishing or YT is deleting his account. ??♂️ 1 1 Quote

Super User Cgolf Posted February 27, 2020 Super User Posted February 27, 2020 I know I was bound and determined to become a lurker on the site, just looking for the sales only and of course watching this thread. But I owe a huge thank you to @ABart61 for pointing out the xcalibur XC 200 square bill is back. I was down to like 3 and was honestly a bit afraid to fish them because the lure fishes so big, aggressive action punches a big hole in the water, that big musky and pike love them too. This was/is one of my special cranks. I now have some back stock and will likely add more on Black Friday. 7 Quote
Jason.Domingo Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 After meeting with Dan and the staff over at Headwaters Kayak in Lodi and demo’ing a few kayaks me and the wife ended up with a good deal and got 2 new Slayer Propel 10’s. Living in San Francisco it was just ideal for ease of transport and storage. 12 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted February 27, 2020 Super User Posted February 27, 2020 Starting the reel maintenance and I found out why my 'cheap' BC was so cheap. One of the gears lost a couple teeth and the plastic piece that's part of the mechanism to return the thumb-bar to lock position was cracked, so that wasn't working. Browsed Amazon and found a President XT for $47 - ordered and it's on it's way. 3 Quote

I grabbed one of these, too. My old BPS Extremes were discontinued years ago, and I believe that Pfleuger made those, so I thought that the XT was worth a try, especially for the price. Quote

Considering I already have a President in my arsenal that I used extensively last season...it's not 'worth a try' for me, but 'worth the price'. Quote

Wish they had more colors to choose from. 1 Quote

That Rage Menace trailer looks amazing coming through the water. I am only seeing 3 colors here. I took notice of the Luck E Strike bladed jig and spinnerbaits carried there too. I would like to hear from anyone that has used them and what their opinion is. My only connection to the company is the RC jerkbait and some of their cranks. 1 Quote
Swinghead Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 I bought a Johnny Morris Signature Series combo at Bass Pro. 320 dollars but got a 145 off with my daughters discount. Hard to pass up. May get another one because she’s quitting that job soon and no more discounts. 1 Quote

I would do the smart thing and forbid her from quiting, if she still insists on quiting, then you have no other choice than to disown her! ? 3 Quote

Jason.Domingo Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Went to Bass Pro last night to look at depth finders for the new yaks. Ended up with a Helix 7. Got the Spring Classic sale of $400 OTD so the spring classic sale prices might be already uploaded into their system. 10 Quote
