Super User roadwarrior Posted April 20, 2009 Super User Posted April 20, 2009 I took off work around mid-day Friday and The Bait Monkey suggested we hit Sportsmen's Warehouse to check out their "Final Days Sale". We picked up a few shallow Lucky Craft crankbaits that I needed, a few DD22's that I didn't and all GYCB favorite colors to add to my lifetime collection. My "savings" were awesome, but it still cost me $158. Now, that wasn't bad, but Sunday it got complicated. The Monkey says to me, "Only a week to go, it's probably our last chance!" So, off we go and low and behold, dudes were holding out on me! Sportsmen's Warehouse put out the rest of their Senkos which at $3.60 a bag, I was forced to buy. Surprisingly, The Monkey found a few more Lucky Craft I needed, too! 8-) Quote
soccplayer07 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 d**n...I guess now I have to stop by Boaters World (for the 6th time) for their going out of business sale. Wish me luck. Quote
SDoolittle Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Dude, let me tell you about the Bait Monkey over here. As you can imagine I don't have too many bills to pay while I'm deployed. No rent, no utilities, no gas for my truck. So with the money I'm saving I decided to get myself a couple of new rods. I start by ordering four Gblanks custom rods that I need. The next day I see that Kistler has last years models on sale, and I don't wan't all my new Gblanks to feel uncomfortable next to my old cheap rods, so I order a couple of Kistlers. Next, I see Tackle Warehouse has the Chronarch B on clearance and I need some reels for my new rods, so I ordered three of them. Finally, I realized that one of my new rods is a swimbait rod and I really don't have many swimbaits, so I ordered a bunch of Mattlures that I need. I need to redeploy before I need anything else.

Siebert Outdoors Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I noticed the "I needed" ;D thats a smokin deal on senkos. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted April 20, 2009 Super User Posted April 20, 2009 I noticed the "I needed" ;Dthats a smokin deal on senkos. Yeah it is, at $3.60 a bag I would have picked up at least 10 or 15 bags of them. Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 WOW, that darn monkey is FAST guys! He just came to FL yesterday and helped me pick out a new MotorGuide FW54FB trolling motor! He's faster than Santa Clause, LOL!!!! ;D Quote

Rage tail craws and chunks 3.30/pack... I need some tubes and senkos to make them feel right at home right?? ;D ;D Hey! where did my wallet go?? :-/ :-? Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted April 20, 2009 Super User Posted April 20, 2009 The monkey made me buy a whole sack full of plastics last week. I stopped at my fav local tackle shop, just to get my license for 2009. They had a very large box on the floor, full of Strike King 3X plastics, for a buck per bag. I spent 80 bucks on worms. Considering how long these things last, I may have just bought a lifetime supply. Quote
fathom Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 little shirt gets around. he popped me for another 50mg last night. Quote

Matt 825 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 The bait monkey is unstoppable. I already bought 6 rods and 8 reels that I "needed" so far this year. Any time there is a closeout sale all of a sudden I "need" something. Quote
jamarkwe Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 it's the Bait Monkey and "I"....... ;D I dislike that little monkey....I have a feeling he is gonna demand that I buy 2 more rods this week and what ever else "I need".... Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 21, 2009 Author Super User Posted April 21, 2009 The Monkey told me we need to make another trip to Sportsmen's Warehouse Saturday or Sunday for the closing! : Quote

nateobot Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 The Sportsmans Warehouse by me is about all sold out. They didn't have anything worthwhile other than some hooks. :'( To make up for it, I went to Cabela's. They have a big sale on fishing equipment. 30% off plastics, I think I got 40% off Suffix line, maybe 25% off cranks? I just got some plastics, some jigs, and new line. Was hoping they had a Citica in the bargain cave, but no luck. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted April 21, 2009 Super User Posted April 21, 2009 Son of a.... BPS needs to have a sale or something similar to Cabelas. The only deal I've seen in there recently has been like 20% off of Zoom plastics. I need to restock most of my terminal tackle soon. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted April 21, 2009 Super User Posted April 21, 2009 d**n...I guess now I have to stop by Boaters World (for the 6th time) for their going out of business sale. Wish me luck. Are you sure they're going out of business? I checked the website and couldn't find a thing about it. I've got one in my area that I'd make the trip to if they have some good deals.

Daniel A. Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Oh, the Bait Monkey...He caught up with me earlier this Spring. I picked up: 1 Curado 200E7 1 Symetre 2500 1 MH Crucial 1 MH Compre New seat and pedestal 30 bags of plastics 15 cranks 20 jigs 2 1/4 spools of Yo-Zuri Hybrid 2 spools of Power-Pro Stocked up on the basics: hooks, sinkers, jig heads Misc. "needs" for the boat If it weren't for the Compre/Symetre going to my wife, I may still be sleeping outside. I'm still working on her for a crankbait setup. Quote
