I'm glad to read these post! I read the forums every night, Visit TW, Cabelas,GM and BPS web sites all the time in the winter. Bass Pro makes feeding the bait monkey easy when they have the trade in/up sales during the Spring Classic and when hey offer easy pay online I can spread my new purchases over six months so my wife does not notice how much I actually spend. I have my online cart loaded and printed off a copy with fishing rods/reels and tackle to check out and buy during the Spring Classic. Received a lot of $$$ on BPS for Christmas, been hard to hold onto lol. Looking at the Pflueger Patriarch or Supreme XT and pair up with a new Carbonlite or Browning Superlight. Plus the numerous lures I have listed to try. The bait monkey's grip is tight and you will never be free of him! I have learn to accept the bait monkey as a part of everyday life lol.
