They must have just brought all the workers in, I just got 2 email shipping confirmations about the same time as you guys. Crazy how they all went out at the same time!

Yikes, I'm afraid some of these pure orders aren't going to get fulfilled... dang it... I got quite a few, but had one or two more that I was really hoping to get... I guess it would have been better if I had placed one larger order, instead of 5 random orders. Maybe the 5 orders threw the red flag... dang it.

EMPTY?! wow. sorry to hear I think UPS or someone else should have to deal with some of this and not just pure...I'm sure working with either isn't easy

All my boxes seem to have some form of small damage, but so far, no snapped rods or any broken guides... keeping fingers crossed. I'm sorry this happened I wonder if we can 'refuse' shipment before the UPS guy hands it over if the box is that damaged and rod damaged?

Pure just smoked me again... for the third 'time' (code).... Just when I said I was done... I guess I wasn't... this is worse than a drug addiction.... the 'pure' bait monkey has taken me and spun me and pummelled me wayyyy to hard ? I cry uncle! Have you guys been running these pure codes for the past 10 yrs and just no one ever told me?

hopefully it's a nice one! was it on a deal, or was this the previous pure fishing deal?

Sounds like customer service is definitely lacking. Perhaps something that happens always, or maybe even more right now if they are overwhelmed with orders! I love to support the small guys, but also struggle when the customer service is tough... Despite some of these good sales, we always have the option of what retailers we like to work with based on many things such as customer service. I suppose you could have bought the same Grande Bass baits from Tackle Warehouse, but maybe at a higher price, etc (even though they did have a 20% off black Friday sale...) Anyways, I hope everyone gets their Grande order direct and things work out! Side note, I called Dobyns rod direct yesterday and they immediately picked up the phone and I had a nice convo with a human. Always been happy with Dobyns!

I can't believe you guys pulled another code. This is UNREAL! Deals of the century boys!! Hmm are these virtual rods good? Never heard of em... I mean... I don't need the 'virtual' aspect, but shall I just use the rod as a 'rod'? I guess for 25 bucks they are better than most?

Pretty wild. Thanks for the help. I would say one of the better codes / sales / discount of the year. Glad this code was discovered, we did some 'damage' last night with it haha Can anyone say flat worms at 50% off? hahaha

I tried a Penn VisX 50 for 729 dollars and code did not work for that reel.... But code worked for a standard abu sx reel... Dang, where was this code found? I better use it before it goes dead!

Myself and a friend just had our TW 'wish list' deleted, gone from thin air. Funny thing was 2 of my newer wish lists remain, but I had an older larger one that had all my go tos. And it's just gone. Anyone else experience the same thing?

Sweet!! Thanks for the test and confirmation. Happy thanksgiving!

I'm so glad I could count on you Tom!! I'm knew there had to be some similar stuff out there like these new baits, etc. Those Basstrix Flashtrix Minnow look like they would be pretty fun on a 1/8oz darthead!

I wanted to see if anyone has used these? They are out of San Diego California and have been out for a couple years I believe, but seem to maybe still be west coast focused. They seem to catch all fish species. It seems to me to be just like a standard tube, but without the skirt portion cut into strands. This gives is a faster glide/slide, etc. I know it's marketing material, but it seems like tons of guys are catching fish per their instagram: I have ZERO affiliation with the company, I'm just curious if guys have had luck with these lures and under what conditions, etc. I'm trying not to get sucked into the marketing hype, banjo minnow status...

This will be interesting!! I think it may eliminate the 'dink fest' that sometimes happens, as well as some of the hardcore forward facing sonar watching... Just predictions. Cool that they can 'change it up' and we'll see how it goes!

correct me if i'm wrong, but I think this is pretty standard for a 3000 spinning reel. No different than all the other reel brands. Some guys think the larger 3000 size reels cast better with the bigger spool, etc. I guess each to their own....

Dick's Sporting Goods has Abu Garcia Revo X Spinning Fishing Reel (Revo2x30) for $62.22. Shipping is free (must be signed in). Any thoughts on this reel? Also 68 from amazon.

oh man, so glad to hear you are ok. Did you happen to have a cell phone with reception or VHF radio to contact anyone for help? Knowing what you do now, what would be the plan for 'next time' if there ever was a next time?

What a ripper of a ending. Was rooting for walker, what a come back!!

Anywayyyyys, Connell is putting on a clinic with some big fish today for the championship round... on the dropshot. Imagine that. It's a close race here in the end, lots of nice fish. Connell sure does a good job of making his bait not be seen much, is it just a basic Berkley Powerbait Maxscent Flat Worm?

Wow, gotta hand it to wheeler for a come back, missed the cut by a few ounces, but a great run! Winds look just as 'fun' tomorrow haha

Michael Neal, the leader, maybe just made a big statement, that may be making a lot of anglers life difficult, including Wheeler: FFS has not been easy to use in the wind with 2ft rollers coming through.... Surely, FFS is easier to use and focus on in calmer conditions. Nice to know Neal is using some instincts and catching em a 'little' more old school. Sounds like he has his FFS turned on, but it's just not quite as effective as it was earlier in the tourney..

Wow, sounds like a lot of drama!! Would have been nice if MLF told the guys 'hey don't use our two pole setup' on this lake due to local laws! More side notes: Wheeler just got AOY. Another side note: Wind is pretty wild today. Not easy. Glad Elam is getting em on the crank! Wheeler is doing TERRIBLE today? 1 fish? Maybe he is so caught up on AOY that he's not worried about this tourney? Or maybe he's going to climb up from behind. I'm not sure...

haha it's still not fair you got the inside scoop on wheeler haha lucky dog!
