Fat-G Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Went to Dick's and spent about an hour and $30. I have really narrowed my most used baits to Senko-type lures, therefore I bought the following: GYCB Watermelon/Black Flake 5" Senkos GYCB #021 W/Blue Tip 5" Senkos Yum Watermalon Seed 5" Dingers Yum Carolina/Pumpkin/Chartreuse Dingers Owner J-Light Worm Hooks 3/0 Gamakatsu Octopus 2/0 And a big 1 compartment Plano box for all my plastics. This should hold me up for about, oh, maybe one fishing trip ;D Quote

Fat-G Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 my mom wont let me order stuff online Quote
uicdent11 Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Really? You are missing out on some of the best deals you can find. I almost exclusively order online for all my needs except groceries.Sales tax is a killer in Chicago. I have actually had neighbors ask if I was receiving "illegal" things. Maybe see if your mom will o.k. the site before you order from them. You can trust * 100%. Quote
rubba bubba Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Out of the mouths of babes. Have your mom get an account on here and we'll explain to her the joys of saving money by going to ***. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted September 6, 2009 Super User Posted September 6, 2009 Looks like Brent needs a field office in VA. "Pssst....Hey kid, wanna try a couple of Trick Sticks ?! the first ones are on the house......" Quote
Koop Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Looks like Brent needs a field office in VA."Pssst....Hey kid, wanna try a couple of Trick Sticks ?! the first ones are on the house......" wouldn't be funny if it wasn't so true ;D Quote
Fat-G Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 Actually, I did the math and explained it to my madre. For $24, I bought 44 sticks. If I had ordered from ***, for the same $24 I could have gotten 100 sticks. That's more than twice the amount of baits. Ridiculous. I am now allowed to order online. Quote

I got 75 baits for $15...then add the $5 for shipping. Those baits will last me till next year. ;D Quote
Steven Ladner Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 It's hard to believe how great the quality of the trick sticks are for that low of a price. 8-) Quote
Rand Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Here's a way to try it Fat-G. Take the money the cash that you have and put it on a prepaid credit card. Then show your mom what you got at retail store. Then show her what you could get online for the same price. Its all about how you present it. She could even be there when you do the ordering. Good Luck Rand Quote

Good Luck Rand Hahaha trust me, I've done my fare share of convincing:) I showed her one of the baits, explained how they get torn up after a fish or two, then told her that I could be getting double the quantity for the same price. In-steps my dad, who was like "okay sounds good to me, we're ordering online", followed by my mom saying "oh so your making the decisions now", followed by my dad saying, "in nineteen years of marriage, this is the first decision I can ever remember making on my own."
