Super User Master Bait'r Posted March 20, 2015 Author Super User Posted March 20, 2015 I had to buy something to haul my fishing gear and kayak with. It still counts right?    My gf has the same car and I love that thing.  Runs great, rides smooth, is awesome in the snow and gets killer mileage.  It's our go-to ski gear + dog + kids road trip car in the winter with a huge roof box, and then the roof box gets switched out for double yak racks in the summer.  Great car!  Just do yourself a favor now and get the anti-rust coating underneath and especially in the wheel wells-  Those cars ALWAYS rust out from the wheel wells first.     Love the Outbacks though.  One of the best all-around cars ever made IMO.  It just does it all in spades and you can even sleep in the back in a pinch- now if only I could afford an RS6 Avant    Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted March 20, 2015 Author Super User Posted March 20, 2015 The Sick Fish work. The clearer colors have more movement than some of the darker more detailed colors. I think the paint makes for a stiffer bait. Â Â Also by far the smelliest and greasiest bait I've ever *attempted* to handle. Â I don't know who decided that packing them in trash juice scented love lube would make them better but I disagree with them. Â 2 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted March 20, 2015 Super User Posted March 20, 2015 Not exactly a recent purchase, but doing some cleanup in a storage room, I came across these. I bought these back in the 80's. Â Â Hootie 4 Quote

Super User *Hootie Posted March 20, 2015 Super User Posted March 20, 2015 MudBugs don't work. Â Â Actually John, those are bombers. Here is a Mudbug. Â Â But I have to agree about the "don't work". I never , not once caught anything on them. Guess that's why they were in my storage room...lol. Â Hootie Quote

Super User *Hootie Posted March 20, 2015 Super User Posted March 20, 2015 those are really cool! who makes em? They are no longer made, but the bomber was made by Bomber lure company. The Mudbug was made by Arbogast, the company that makes the Jitterbug and the hula popper. Hootie Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted March 20, 2015 Super User Posted March 20, 2015 Ordered a Jackall Gantarel in RT spawn gill. Excited for this one to arrive. Spring is near. I'll handle losing it a lot better than a hardgill too. 3 Quote
Mothercanucker Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Been looking at those Gantarels for a few weeks but am telling the bait monkey to **** off cause I fish almost strictly for smallmouth and it'll cost me 50$ each. I still want a few tho... I guess Pike would destroy them too. Picked up some smallerish finesse jerkbaits for cold water smallies. Jackall DowZvido and Spro McStick plus a couple more Sick Fish.  Quote

Super User J Francho Posted March 20, 2015 Super User Posted March 20, 2015 My mistake Hootie. MudBugs belong in the box, not in storage. Sell those for MudBugs. 1 Quote
Super User Gundog Posted March 20, 2015 Super User Posted March 20, 2015 MudBugs don't work. Â I caught many river smallmouth with a mudbug. Something about the vibration that muddy river bass love. Even hooked into a musky with one, of course I never got that mudbug back. Quote

zeth Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Wow! Bored at work so I totaled up everything I've purchases at Tackle Warehouse since last April. Â This does not include my purchases elsewhere which are many. I feel like there is still so many more baits I could easily buy. Sitting at $5953.44 for just under a year of purchases. Â I sure do wish Tackle Warehouse had a membership like REI so I could get something back for the thousands of dollars I have spent. Â I'll opt out of showing this post to my wife who does support the addiction/passion but the numbers might be a little shocking to her. Â I wonder who else out there is dropping huge amounts of money on gear. I will say though I did have a 15 year hiatus and am getting everything back together. Â Whatever it takes I guess. Â Hopefully soon I'll have enough to direct some of that cash to a boat payment. 3 Quote

zeth Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 ha yeah I'm gonna post some pics later of the uptons stuff I got in the mail yesterday. Â One of the better purchases I've made. I gotta learn to save.... And what the heck I definitely didn't get that many stickers from tackle warehouse or i just never looked for them in the box. Â Quote

Uptons are the best worms ever. Their colors are amazing. One peek at a bag of Hershey blue stripe or diamond craw dragon tails and there is no going back. They're bullying roboworms right out of my plastics tray. Quote

OntarioFishingGuy Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Bought a new net, some marabou and hackles, and a couple packs of TroutBeads. Quote
JoyoftheCatch Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Made a trip to Bass Pro today, only needing to get some essentials for this season.  Ended up walking out with a new rod and reel, and spent around 450 dollars all together.  I will try and upload a pictures of everything tomorrow. Got a little carried away this time. 1 Quote
