Super User BASSclary Posted February 5, 2011 Super User Posted February 5, 2011 Bass Fishing Parties. You know how women have tupperware parties, and Purse Parties, And jewelery parties? Why don't men have Bass Fishing Parties? You give a way little lures to people who come, and sell rods and reels away, maybe have little auctions for a "Mystery Box." Seems like a good idea to me. Or if they do have these sorts a things, Companies please? Quote
Nibbles Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Because guys who like to fish typically find it distasteful to take advantage of friends and family, as well as employing high pressure sales tactics. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted February 5, 2011 Super User Posted February 5, 2011 They do. They're called "sportsman" or "outdoor" shows. They have them all throughout the country at convention centers and such. As picky as we are around here and our ability to find the best deals on stuff, you'd never sell enough at your house to break even. Ask any woman if she's ever made money selling tupperware, candles, whatever. The answer is probably no. They probably got a few free items out of it, nothing more. My sister in law was going to be a candle tycoon... : Quote
Nibbles Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Shows are shows. Parties are somewhat of a different animal. Quote

Senkoman12 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 only women do those things not guys, i would rather just go out and buy own stuff and fish with it Quote

JoePhish Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 If I incorporated "partying" with purchasing fishing tackle I would probably get date raped by the Bait Monkey. Quote
JamesH Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Yeah, it could be possible to make the whole thing man friendly. But as far as making it a good deal to both the buyer and seller, that's impossible. It would have to be low end gear sold at too high a price or high end stuff sold at a normal retail price and the seller would lose. Thats why they have events. BPS spring fishing classic. Outdoor shows. Both parties can win. Now if you were proficient at making your own quality lures then sure invite a bunch of fishing buddies over for the game and a few beers. Then when the buzz is on whip out a giant box of lures. Then you may be able to satisfy both the buyer and seller. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted February 6, 2011 Super User Posted February 6, 2011 I'm going to have nightmares tonight. BC launches his own company that offers bait parties along the lines of MaryKay Cosmetics. Half the guys show up wanting to get sponsored for free tackle, and the other half try to start their own businesses so they can work towards their own bubblegum colored bassboat. ;D Quote
BassThumb Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 You should host the first one, BASSclary. Tell us how it goes. ;D Quote
Super User islandbass Posted February 6, 2011 Super User Posted February 6, 2011 Fair question, but my reason is I'd rather be fishin'. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted February 6, 2011 Super User Posted February 6, 2011 Cabin fever? Isn't that what a fishing forum is accomplishing? I'm guessing there is no such thing as a tupperware forum, but if there is it can't be that interesting. That's why the girls get together. To make it more interesting and have pillow fights. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted February 6, 2011 Super User Posted February 6, 2011 All the "house parties" I know of are affilitated with a single company, such as Tupperware, or Pampered Chef etc. Some guys like Strike King, others Zoom, others Berkeley others, horror of horrors Yamamoto. Same with rods and reels. The logistics of such an undertaking would be a nightmare. Way too many brands and types of baits, gear, etc, to skinny it down to a house party thingy. Quote
Tucson Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 The basic difference is that women like to attend these functions to socialize. Men are more goal-oriented and the acquisition of fishing stuff is just a prelude to the act of fishing. For the most part anyway. Quote
brushhoggin Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 the lure swap is as close as youre gonna get Quote
central.PA.bass Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 good concept.. wouldn't work.. i pick on my fiancee for going to stupid parties like that... I would only go if you could promise that everyone would sit around in a circle in our pj's and tell fishing stories while singing our favorite fishing songs.. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted February 6, 2011 Super User Posted February 6, 2011 I nominate this as the first thread of 2011 for the silliest thread ever. I'd be surprise if something else can even come close to this the rest of the year. Guys getting together giggling and drooling over lures together just sounds somewhat wrong.I'll do mine behind a computer desk alone...LOL Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted February 6, 2011 Super User Posted February 6, 2011 If I incorporated "partying" with purchasing fishing tackle I would probably get date raped by the Bait Monkey. Way to go Joe ~ that's an instant classic ~ As for this topic = Loss of a Man Card A-Jay Quote
