central.PA.bass Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 I think next time we do this we should have a list of plastic baits brands you can put in. Nothing expensive just baits that we know guys use around here like Rage Tail, Zoom, GYBC, Big Bite etc.... When I got the box there was still some great stuff in there, I doubt it has gotten really bad sense I last saw it. Anyways good to see that its still on track. I think that idea is stupid.. If you want to get that picky, then just go to dicks and buy some.. and you wont have to eat the 12 bucks to ship it. Quote

Super User slonezp Posted April 30, 2011 Super User Posted April 30, 2011 Here's my pic. As I said puts: Zara Spook(new out of box)and the Gammy hooks. Take: Havoc Spear baits. There's 80% soft plastics in the box. Not that it's bad. I was expecting different. Guys talk LC's, I've got LC's, LiveTarget, River2Sea etc. that I would have swapped, but not for soft plastics. Oh well. Quote
BassThumb Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Anyone else think this is funny/ironic? I had a good laugh at it. Quote
Captin Obvious Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Hey Guys who took the LC's I know I put two in there. I put them in the small envelopes that Monte put his chatter baits. If some one has taken them just let us know. Did anyone take the Sebile swim-bait cause that was in there to. And Central.P.A.bass take it easy man I was just suggesting it as a way to up the quality of the box thats all. Just saying that if you are going to put plastics in the box make sure that they are quality plastics. Anyways I hope someone locates those LC's. Quote
OHIO Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 I wasn't very pleased with a lot of the stuff in the box either, that's why I didn't take much. The stuff I did take I was happy with though. I probably won't do it again though. Too much money to ship it. I can just go to the store for free and have an unlimited selection of baits. It was fun though with the anticipation, so thanks Hookinem for setting it up. Just wish there was a way to cut down on shipping costs. Quote
Captin Obvious Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Price of gas is what causes shipping to go up but going to the store now a days can cost just as much in gas as in shipping. Quote
FL_Sharpshooter Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Store bought lure swaps are silly. It would be a lot more interesting for the lure makers to swap lures . Quote
OHIO Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Price of gas is what causes shipping to go up but going to the store now a days can cost just as much in gas as in shipping. Just depends on how far away it is. I'll tell you it doesn't cost 10 bucks for me to get there and back. Quote
KenG85 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 sounds like you should have a no soft baits rule.... I'm jealous....I had so many baits to toss in there. custom paints, live targets, h2o's. Sounds like this one went bust.... Quote
Super User slonezp Posted April 30, 2011 Super User Posted April 30, 2011 Captain, The Sebile is in there along with 3 empty envelopes. Quote

OHIO Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Don't even need to leave the couch. TW Aint that the truth. They got free shipping over $50 I think. You said there were three empty envelopes? I know I put a Strike King crank in on of them. I think it was a 6XD. That's some low life stuff if someone took those without telling us or putting something else in. Quote
hookingem Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 I hope everyone enjoyed it! I don't want to start another argument, or hurt anyones feelings. It's sad this didn't go exactly as plannned, but to me it's really not a big deal. I got to know a few good guys on here from doing this, and contributed a little to the best site on the net. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted April 30, 2011 Super User Posted April 30, 2011 Another swap gone bad , what a shame. 2 Quote
jeremyt Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 When I got the box from Capt O. the three yellow sleeves with the hard baits were in there. One had actually came out during shipping so I put it back in there. I didn't take them. I also thought that I put some pretty good stuff in the box. A pointer a mega bass pop x, and yes I did put some plastics, but I didn't know that plastics were not allowed. I am not going to complain about what I got, because if I didn't want anything or if I didn't want to place anything, I just would have stated that and sent it on down the road. Quote
Captin Obvious Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks Jeremyt And guys I mean what has really gone wrong, yeah the box may be has lost some quality but its still on track. If anyone took baits that looked like this or this Just let us know please Quote
Super User slonezp Posted April 30, 2011 Super User Posted April 30, 2011 On it's way to you AJ Conf# 0311 0240 0000 0649 0163 Quote
hookingem Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 I mean yeah it didn't really go bad IMO. I just want to know where some of the baits mysteriously went.... It's not that I want them, it's just the moral behind it. I really am kinda ready to do another one whenever. Luke out of curiosity (not pointing fingers) can you post a pick of your takes? Quote
Super User slonezp Posted April 30, 2011 Super User Posted April 30, 2011 Captain. the yellow one is in there but i didn't see the craw. Quote
hookingem Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 I'll take pictures of all contents when it arrives. Quote
Captin Obvious Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Guess Luke took the sebile and the craw bait. The yellow one belongs to Hookingem just giving the heads up. Quote
Luke at Gouldsboro Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 I took a Japanese topwater popper (bass pattern), a 3" swimbait (white with black spots and a black back), and I took a bag of electric blue worms. Like I said, there wasn't much in the box that I was interested in... I'm not a liar or a thief. Also don't accuse me of taking something that I didn't take. Quote
hookingem Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Didn't say you were a liar or a thief, and in no way do I think that. Was just interested in what you got out of the box. Hope you kill em' on that Megabass Pop x. Haven't tried one yet but for 20 dollars the thing better be good! Quote
