Brnnoser6983 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 So I have a normal routine during the day, but a part of it I normally stroll through the Flee market section, and swing over to TW to see what they have for the daily offer. But i have noticed that a major factor to my buying is YouTube. I love going through unboxing, and reviews and so to say "window shop" this way. I value others opinions highly and I think this plays into my buying habit. What makes you tick? Anything that makes is better or worse? 1 Quote
Brnnoser6983 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Sales Do you actively look for them though or stumble upon them? Quote
tbone1993 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 In store sales. I cannot resist 50% off of an already marked down clearance item. Also when they will price match and have a storewide discount. Gander was awesome for this. Got some spro baits for 6 and some 10xds for around 8. Quote

Super User Darren. Posted February 23, 2015 Super User Posted February 23, 2015 For me, tackle itch is started by either running low or on empty on a good bait, or sales. 1 Quote
ABW Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 A depleted supply of a certain bait even though I have plenty other things to fish with. Also, TW's sales are irresistible. Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted February 23, 2015 Super User Posted February 23, 2015 For me there are a couple of different factors that have to come together. 1). Something New. By that, I mean a new approach or a brand new design, not just a new color or a slight variation on an existing theme. And it doesn't need to be a this years deal, a New To Me that's 20 years old is especially attractive. AND 2). What ever it is, I must believe that it is applicable in the waters I fish. Since a Bass is a Bass, anywhere, in some cases the only way to know is to try it. But in many circumstances, some deals simply do not translate to this area. So they may get a brief look and then they are passed over. Still others make me tilt my head like an interested puppy and say "Really ?" A-Jay 1 Quote
sprint61 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Sales. Bought a lews tournament mg for $90 today really shouldn't have lol. 1 Quote
MichiganBass80 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Lots of things trigger my tackle itch. It can be seeing a technique done on a fishing show that I don't normally use, it could be something that is getting a lot of attention in here or on another forum, it could be that I am just getting low in the stuff I use a lot. Or it could just be winter and I'm losing my mind so I buy stuff lol My latest one is swimbaits and tackle. Went to a Fishing Expo back in January and saw a seminar with Mark Zona, and he was talking swimbaits. Since then I have been looking, buying a few packs here and there, hooks, etc... Before that, Jigs. I wasn't touch a of a jig thrower, but it was something that at the end of last year I decided I was going to improve on this coming season. With all the reading I do on here and all the mentions of Sieberts jigs, I started placing orders with Mike and it has become and addiction lol. I haven't been able to use most of the ones I have bought from him yet, but I am already getting ready to place another order for some different colors. Then there is the "I'm getting low so I HAVE to buy more" excuse. And of course, with new techniques, you HAVE to buy new rod and reel setups.. Quote

Super User Master Bait'r Posted February 24, 2015 Super User Posted February 24, 2015 If I see a crazy deal on something I've been looking at I break out in the meat sweats and my pulse races. Also sexy JDM lures with specific finishes. I don't even care that they're expensive if they're exactly what I am looking for. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted February 24, 2015 Super User Posted February 24, 2015 I trigger my tackle itch. I tell myself I need to buy stuff. The bait monkey is not real just like the Easter bunny. You are the monkey. 1 Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted February 24, 2015 Super User Posted February 24, 2015 Beer usually seems to get me itching for new tackle. 2 Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted February 24, 2015 Super User Posted February 24, 2015 I only have about 5 3700s of tackle... So when I feel like I don't have a technique covered I'll buy a lure that fits it. I'll be good when I get about 10 3700 to cover any situation.... Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted February 24, 2015 Super User Posted February 24, 2015 I find being awake is usually what makes me want to buy fishing gear but I do sometimes get the urge while I'm sleeping as well. Oh man was that funny !! Quote
