Super User Darth-Baiter Posted March 17 Super User Posted March 17 if I was smart, I would start a list. list tackle I need to buy, and when I get to a threshold, say $50 buy it. but nope. I buy when needed and add stuff to get the the $50. not good. 7 Quote
KP Duty Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Yep. As a kid, It was exciting when I had to fill out the BPS order form and mail it in. Had to use my parents CC or get a money order. $50 was a sizable order! 2 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 17 Super User Posted March 17 Hey, order from AliExpress for really cheap shipping, I mean it might take 3 weeks to arrive and it might be a copy of something Japanese or American but the price is right! 🤣😂🤣 Quote
Junger Posted March 17 Posted March 17 It doesn't bother me. There's always something I can add to get to $50, and I do keep a list of items around that I always need, or look at my log of lures that I'm getting low on (always keitech paddletails!). I look at it this way, BPS, TW, Midway, DSG, Academy all need to make money to keep the lights on. If I have to buy a little more to have them around, no sweat. 2 Quote
Texas Flood Posted March 17 Posted March 17 I have Omnia Pro just for the free shipping. I think it's $50/year. I still have wish lists on TW that I will build up and it always well over $50 by the time its added up. Quote

I got it on a special that got me a $25 gift card and the following - so basically got Pro for nothing. • Strike King 3.5" Baby Z-Too Soft Jerkbait • Strike King Rage Scounbug 3 1/2" • Strike King Hybrid Hunter 3" • Strike King KVD Perfect Plastics Filler Worm 6" • Strike King Tungsten Thunder Cricket 3/8 oz • Strike King Homing Minnow Swimbait 3" 1/4oz • Strike King KVD Popping Perch • Strike King Baby Rage Menace Grub 3" 2 Quote

Since youre in the same area how fast does a order get to you after placing it or do you normally go pick it up? Quote

I could go pick it up - but sometimes I'm just lazy and don't want the 1/2hr each way drive...so have them mail it. 3 days if the order isn't in by 1pm, 2 days if it is. 1 Quote

It stop making sense to me when I figured they always have limited stock and ended up using TW all of the time anyway. I didn't feel that pro was worth $50, not even with the app. 2 Quote

Super User king fisher Posted March 18 Super User Posted March 18 I agree. I will go on TW to replace $20 bait I lost. Then I realize it would be cheaper to buy $50 and get the free shipping. I then end up with $100 of tackle. I find it impossible to hit the $50 mark. Another dealer has free shipping on $100 orders. I try and hit the $100 price and it always comes out $200. I am not sure why this happens, but I suspect the Bait Monkey is responsible. 3 Quote

Love the free shipping, even for 3 packs of plastics like I did the other day. 1 Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted March 19 Super User Posted March 19 “Hmm…do I NEED another pack of Senkos? Do I?” 😂 Quote
Super User NorthernBasser Posted March 20 Super User Posted March 20 If it's TW, I'd always get to $150 so I'd get the free t-shirt. Explains why I could use a dedicated dresser just for all my TW shirts. Also explains why I have so many lures I don't even use. 😅 2 Quote
