chromedog Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Not for nothing, but I am sorry, I seen the stuff, I don't buy it. Here is what I seen based on the items you circled: Top Waters - beat up, spinners wouldn't spin, rusty hooks Swimbaits - Trout top fin ripped off, other bait had rips in between the segments Lipless cranks - beat up, paint missing (1 looked to be a new BPS trap) Lipped cranks - Not too bad overall, 1 was slightly scratched and the other was a BPS dollar bin lure. Stick baits - Small Rapala was ok. Other was just stained and scratched. Btw, I put tape on every single treble hook to make sure things were not ending up in a ball. Bass Pro shop case was warped and dirty. I actually washed it out as it has soft plastic residue of some kind greasing the whole thing up. Soft plastics were ok. The culprit worms actually had a watermelon worm in with the pack. And then there is "missing plastic" that have to be sent out now? I know the box was full. But all you have to do is squeeze the box and tape it shut. Trust me, there was much more in the box last year. Not really trying to be mean. Just pointing out that I don't think things were done with respect. And definitely not fair to those that started the box. Quote

I forgot I used it for plastics and didn't think to clean it. I didn't know it was warped though :-? :-/ Like I said in my posts before, PM me if you want some of the stuff I took out. Quote

fishn hard Posted March 19, 2011 Author Posted March 19, 2011 Hey Guys lets take it easy on the Boy Quote
crankbait2009 Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 so does that mean this box is still on the move???? Quote
fishn hard Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 It should be I dont even know who has now Quote
fishn hard Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 I think riverfisher has the box he should be shipping it your way Crank Quote
riverfisher Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Sorry for the delay had some family stuff come up. I will have the box out to Crank Monday morning!! Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted March 28, 2011 Super User Posted March 28, 2011 Has the swap been completed ? Quote
fishn hard Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 Not yet Crank has the box he is the last in line And i would like to thank all of you guys that participated and i hope all had a good time and made your winter a little shorter Quote
bwell Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I'm pretty glad I missed out on this... Sounds like BC has some growing up to do yet... You take out new, you put in new. If you take out a crank that is in good condition you put one back that is in good condition. A swap isn't something you participate in to get rid of your crap. Quote
riverfisher Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks Fishn for taking the time to get this started!! Let me know when next years pass get's started!! Dan Quote
