adam lancia Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Here's the results of my trip to BPS after my gift cards :-D I *should* be taken care of for the upcoming fishing season but I'm sure I'll find some other way to convince my wife that there are a few other ways to catch us more bass ;-) Father in law as a fishing buddy? Never heard that before I'm in the same boat. My father in law and I fish together every chance we get. He's a Canadian Maritimer so fishing comes to him as second nature. There are a couple of nice little trout ponds near his house, not to mention Bras D'Or Lake which isn't that far away either. Quote

BooyahMan Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Maybe I shouldn't have asked for frogs when Santa asked what I wanted this year... 6 Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted December 29, 2014 Super User Posted December 29, 2014 Maybe I shouldn't have asked for frogs when Santa asked what I wanted this year... I don't think you need frogs for awhile. Maybe for another decade. 1 Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted December 29, 2014 Super User Posted December 29, 2014 I got a Abu Garcia Orra s30 spinning reel and used a warranty to replace an old carbonlite for the new white one(awesome rod by the way). I've caught about 20 fish on the combo and I'm loving it Do tell on the new Carbonlite. Some people are not liking the white, aside from the color..how does it compare with the previous generation? Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted December 29, 2014 Super User Posted December 29, 2014 I received 100 bucks, combined with my BPS gift card from my birthday 50, I'm saving them both up for the Spring Classic at BPS (reel trade in) for my first Curado I, if I don't like it..I will get another Chronarch CI4+. On top of that I got a subscription for 1 year with LTB from my lovely wife. LTB helps me get through the winter months/blues. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 New 10'6" Avid steelhead rod and some pink/polka dot socks that don't fit. Quote
Brnnoser6983 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Do tell on the new Carbonlite. Some people are not liking the white, aside from the color..how does it compare with the previous generation? My brother in law bought that reel last year and loves it.I have a cardinal series from Abu and it is a lot smoother than my real. But I am a huge fan of Abu Garcia and like just about everything on their line up. I just bought the Ike Dude off eBay for $25 and use it as a pan fish rod. But I also have the silver max, pro max, and cardinal. Planing on buying the orra winch as a musky reel until I can get the Toro. Oh. I know the bait caters you can always upgrade the bearings for better quality, right off the bat to improve performance. Sometimes you get lucky and get it for free. We had a musky expo here in MN last year and some reps where there from Abu. He told me if I brought in my reels he would oil/grease them. Inspect and replace bearing for free.. and be damned they did. Quote

Super User buzzed bait Posted December 29, 2014 Super User Posted December 29, 2014 35 for a Citica G! WOW what a steal! i know! i'd been eyeballing it for a while actually because it was already marked down to $69. i wanted to get rid of some items i was hanging on to so that i could free up some space and fishing funds to purchase the citica for my new cranking reel. went back in last week and it was an additional 50% off the already marked down price so i grabbed it and ran for the register.
