I have only made one purchase from them (a Minn Kota trolling motor), but I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.

I didn't have any issues with them. They have a BBB rating of A+. They are a forum sponsor for another well known bass forum. You can get even better deals by telephoning them & speaking with a sales rep.

I'm not quite sure what exactly you are looking for, but you can pick up a lot of new/used lure lots in the Fishing Flea Market Forum. Also, check out the auction sites. An "off brand" suggestion would be Academy brand lures. Good luck fishing this season.

I got mine from https://www.universalmania.com/ .

Nice looking catch. Congrats.

"Brand new" reels shouldn't have problems, but they can. If you can, take the reel back to where you bought it & have it checked. If you are unfamiliar with reel repairs, DON'T try to fix things you don't know about. PM Mike from DVT (a great forum sponsor here).

⬆️ You got that right. Imagine all the stuff you threw away or gave away, and what it could've been worth to someone now.

WTG. Congrats, but you can't claim a PB without sharing a photo with us.

Send a congratulations to Evan. Way to go! He should be proud that his hard work has paid off.

Looks like a compromise of a spinnerbait & an inline spinner.

I have an ultra light one I leave in the truck. I have a few others we use for boat salt water fishing.

Ha . They're inexpensive & indestructible. Reminds me of their old commercial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isOsYhmQ4dE

I'm sure they are going fast. That's a great price for those reels.

No 2500 or 3000 sizes though...

Looks great. Now that it's all rigged up, you should take it out for "one last cast". (NOT)

Great looking lure with the corresponding box. Nice! I bet you it has some great mojo.

Welcome to Bass Resource. Enjoy reading & contributing in the forums.

Congrats to that young man!

Sounds like a great day - congrats.

Congratulations. WTG on working the lake in those conditions. Looks like you guys didn't loose your hats in that wind...

Great outing with some good looking catches. Congrats on the PB.

Sorry to hear about your injury. Here's hoping for a quick recovery. I'm getting a knee replacement in a few weeks, so I know what you're going through. Good luck.

They're calling for 3 inches of snow here tomorrow... d**n that Punxsutawney Phil.

Great choice. Can't go wrong with a St. Croix rod. Enjoy.

Nope - I never listen to music while fishing. I enjoy the solitude & the sounds of nature.
