FivePoundBluegill Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Well have any of you guys ever bought a piece of tackle that you found COMPLETELY useless? I am not talking about stuff like a inexpensive hardbait or plastic you wanted to try and not caught a thing on. We have all had that happen. I mean have any of you bought anything that was expensive or was supposed to be great and turned out to be a complete piece of junk? This includes things like expensive lures, rods, reels...stuff like that....anything over $10 you know... Quote

Mattlures Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Ha Ha I bought the Hydro lures. I didnt expect them to work but I wanted to see how they swam. I found some on ebay for about $3 They werent even worth the 3 bucks. Realy bad. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted July 23, 2008 Super User Posted July 23, 2008 This "thing" from castaic. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted July 23, 2008 Super User Posted July 23, 2008 Back in my Quantum days, the 1310 baitcaster. They kept breaking and I kept buying them. Finally took three before it sunk in. Daiwa for me now. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted July 23, 2008 Super User Posted July 23, 2008 Every d**n thing I've bought over the last 26 years. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Reel Magic, Helicopter Lure, Gulp, Yo-Zuri FC line, Mann's Hardbaits, Mann's softbaits, and Matzuo crankbaits. I'm sure there are a ton more, but can't remember them right now. Quote

The Rooster Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I can't say it was junk but it sure didn't fish like I thought it would. A Shimano Sedona spinning reel. I just do NOT like the way it operates. The Pfluegers I have now fish like I thought that Sedona would have. Not sure what the issue is with that Sedona but everytime I used it I had to fight with it and it was miserable doing it. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted July 23, 2008 Super User Posted July 23, 2008 Ugly stik and any brand of mono line that I ever bought. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted July 23, 2008 Super User Posted July 23, 2008 This "thing" from castaic. X2. Paid 18.00 for it back in the mid 90s. Never have been bit on it. Quote
Speed Worm Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Quantum Code Baitcasting reel. Bought it on a thursday night, used it on friday morning, returned it on friday morning. That thing squeeks withing 1-2 hours of fishing. Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 RAGE TAIL BAITS- They vibrated so much that later that day I came home from fishing and the Ol lady called 911 thinking I was having a seizure-I was still vibrating LOL Quote
basser89 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Here's an eye popper for you all! A LC Sammy! I can't walk them to save my life! Spittin Image, Spooks, BPS Slim Dog and even Excaliber's (can't remember the name) I have no problems walking. I thought I might have picked up a defective one so I had one of my friends try it and it's now part of his arsenal. Quote

Funny thing is, it wasn't even one of the smaller models! It was a 100 series. I tried different rods, different retrieves, nothing I did worked! No clue why???? I'm just wierd like that I guess!

Avalonjohn44 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I have had nothing but trouble with Okuma Spinning reels. Have bought three over the last 2 years, and have burned out every one of them... I maintain my reels well too. My Pflueger reels have lasted years. Nothing but Pflueger from now on. Quote
GitRDoneIke23 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Iron Silk, Spiderwire and a Helicopter Lure (try not to laugh!) and a shakespeare spincast reel. (Zebcos are the ONLY way to go!) Nothing too bad........... -Ike Quote
