Super User Raul Posted September 14, 2005 Super User Posted September 14, 2005 what the heck is a bait monkey? Oh well, The BaitMonkey ( the use of capital letters is mandatory when you mention his name ) is the evil spirit ( like RW said: The Dark Side ) that lives in every person that constantly murmurs, whispers, talks or yells ( depending upon the severity of the case ;D ) at your ear everytime you see something appealing or attractive saying: BUY IT ! 8); it doesn 't matter if you already have it ( there are different colors and sizes ya know ), if you really need it ( who NEEDS 20 rods n 'reels ? ), if you can afford it ( that 's why somebody invented credit cards ), if your 're going to get into trouble for getting it ( instant satisfaction is a must and the most important aspect ). Besides, not only he constantly bugs you, he even takes control of the situation, suddenly the mail man appears at your door with a package ( or two or three ) adressed to you from BPS, Cabela 's, ***, Angler 's Paradise and you can 't remember when you purchased those goodies. I 'm not The BaitMonkey like RW said, consider me as HIS spokesman, he speaks to all of you through me. : Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 14, 2005 Super User Posted September 14, 2005 Okay then, leave me alone! I don't need a Megabass Destroyer Evoluzion DTi DNA Titanium F4-610XDti Elseil. I can hardly remember wanting it. I'm not going to buy it. I'm not going to. I'm not even going to think about it. I don't even have the reel I'll need when I get it! Quote
bassackwards Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 the baitmonkey says things like, "oooooooooo, a Megabass Destroyer Evoluzion DTi DNA Titanium F4-610XDti Elseil?!!?" "ooooooooo, I definitely need one of those! what is it again?" "who cares, it must be nice! look how expensive it is!" "and what kind of statement is, 'I don't even have a reel for it.' what kind of crap are you tryin to pull? you should be asking yourself, 'which kind of reel do I want this time??'" ;D Quote

Siebert Outdoors Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Oh crap theres a BAITMONKEY over here too. : I guess this means I have to spend double the amount. BTW the BAITMONKEY is Rauls evil twin. Quote
kbj3579 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Well I just had a visit from his older brother the "boat monkey". He is by far meaner and nastier!!! I had to make him leave so I gave in and am buying a 187cx Champion tomorrow. He showed up after I burned another cylinder in my other boat for the second time. I beat him away the first time, but he showed up again this time with a vengance. He won, I lost this fight. Oh well, you can't win them all. By the way he promised me if I bought this boat, he would keep his younger brother away for awhile. I hope he keeps his word. Quote

Guest avid Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 I had a visit from the baitmonkey this morning. I was having trouble getting line onto a spinning reel. My first thought was, "I have to buy a new reel" Sigh......the problem was soon solved. I'll have to find a different excuse to get that new Stradic. Quote
paully Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 OMG! I put the baitmonkey on hold for a while! I didn't know how I did that! I just walked into my local tackleshop to get some bait and then I saw a bunch of Kreatures, senkos, dingers, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs etc that i neeeded. The baitmonkey was whispering in my ear "grab them. you need them badly even though you have a bunch of each already...!!!!! GRAB THEM!" I said NO! and I turned my head and ordered a dozen minnows and 2 dozlen crawlers and painfully walked out! Quote
