Basseditor Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 When I'm catching fish consistently, I use what I got and just replenish. When I'm in a bad rut, I keep buying, hoping to find that magic bait. That...and a good sale... Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted February 25, 2015 Super User Posted February 25, 2015 Let's see... Lately it has been tournament success, BR member recommendations and infomercials. So here are some "new to me" which I have not fished or barely fished: 6th Sense Crush Flat 75X, Rapala DT6 (Demon), Scatter Rap and Shadow Rap. Yet to acquire: Mann's Reel 'N Shad, ZMan Pop Shadz, Siebert Outdoors Fogy, Savage Hollow Frog Action Legs and Duo Realis Spinbait (spybait). 1 Quote
Jaderose Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 For me lately, it's been seeing some really nice looking baits from small bait producers on FB. Hand poured baits in custom colors and custom jigs. I've got a ton of stuff lately from these kind of guys and have some really, really nice stuff. Plus, you're doing business with guys or gals with families that are doing something they put a lot of pride into. Win, win. Quote
Jay Ell Gee Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I have just about got all of the baits that I need until I burn through some... Until I got a BVK 8wt for Christmas. Now I need to fill boxes of redfish, bass and carp flies and will probably take up tying here shortly... Do NOT take up fly fishing if you have no impulse control! Quote
Will Wetline Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I like to click on "Shop By Brands" on TW. Then I have a look at what AA's worms has to offer. This year for sure I'm going to see how I like Z-Man's Elaztech products. I keep a pad of narrow ruled paper handy and write everything down. Doesn't mean I'm going to order but it's all there if I do decide to whip out the credit card. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted February 26, 2015 Super User Posted February 26, 2015 Just curious mods. Did you ever get a new sponsor, whose product you didn't like and have to say, sorry guys, this just doesn't cut it. Or do they all, always get great reviews? Hootie 1 Quote
EmersonFish Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I'm like a lot of people. Boredom; particularly related to bad weather. Videos on Facebook that certain sites put out catch my attention. Every time I get a new rod I have to get some new baits that I will use on that rod to give that rod a fighting chance at success. Quote

Hootie Many potential sponsors have been rejected. Glenn is very selective regarding both the quality of the product and the reputation of the company. -Kent 1 Quote

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, but after I re-read my own post, it did look like sarcasm. Hootie Quote

Super User Ratherbfishing Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 An empty spot in a Plano 3700. Nature (and the bait monkey) abhors a vacuum. Quote
Brnnoser6983 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Nature (and the bait monkey) abhors a vacuum. I just bought 2 3600 boxes for my bag... and it is killing me that they are semi empty. Quote
