Last night was the first day to kick off the bass pro classic of 2014.

 

It was just a matter of time before this thread was started, so unless I missed it, I shall start it!!!

 

For those of you that have gone.....what did you purchase this year?

 

I will start it off

 

(1) Abu Garcia Orra S spinning reel

(5) chatterbaits

(2) zoom chunks

(5) red eye shad

(2) BPS eggs

(2) yo-zuri 3DB prism cranks

(1) 5XD crank

(1) Stren, 660 yard spool, 8lb test for $5!!

 

I think I am set for a couple months

Today I got a Left Hand Pro Qualifier 7:1:1 for $65 and im planning to get a Veritas or 2. LOL my spending has been out of control!

Nothing. There is no bass pro here in Wisconsin not to mention the front yard is piled with snow smh! Waiting on that online sale 

snagged a Daiwa Tatula, Storm Arashi swimbait and some Lake Fork Magic Shad Boot Tails

it was a good day!

I went with my buddy. He bought a Daiwa Aird 2000 spinning reel, some Lucky Crafts, and a Red Eye Shad. He was going to pay $11 for a Jointed Rapala and I said how about a Live Pointer instead? I am a bad friend. Or a good friend. Depends on your point of view. 

 

I didn't get anything. No Curado I's in Detroit 'til God knows when. No 6- gear ration CI4+ 151; only the display model 151HG. I handled a Revo Premier for a bit but put it back. I'll definitely go back next weekend for the rod trade-in. I intend to walk out with a few St. Croixs and a Fenwick HMG or two.

Beat up the sales and picked up a few things not on sale.

(3) MB 110's. finally broke down and gave in.

Suspending rogues

Spro little john's

Bps tungsten

Inviz-x

Smack down braid

1 SK spinnerbait in a bluegill color I liked

Some of those new Bass Pro Keitech swimbait look-a-likes

Shimano Curado I, 7.2:1

Some of those new Bass Pro Keitech swimbait look-a-likes

Which swimbait are you talking about?  I'm planning to do more swimbait fishing this year, along with cranking. 

saw the BPS Keitech wow they look dead close. Be sure to report back.

I havnt noticed to many of the deals on line yet only one so far was the BPS automatic life vest. and a quick search for a few other items, Is it just being delayed?

Pro Qualifier for $65 with trade in. They put 12 lb mono on it for free to use as backing.

BPS 3700 boxes 3 for $10.

Plano Medium Crankbait box 20% off.

Live Target Walking Frog - I don't remember if that was on sale or not, but I wanted one anyway.

 

Dave

some BPS tubes, Net Bait Baby Paca Craws, BPS senkos, Rick Clunn square bill, Zman chatter bait, KVD spinner bait, 2 spools of P-line, 1 spool of Power Pro, a DT6 to replace one I lost last year.

Shimano Curado I, 7.2:1

I saw those and was a bit surprised that they were more expensive than the Keitechs. I forget how many were in a pack, maybe that was the difference in price.

Chronarch 151CI4HG

Gary Yamamoto Chikara Crankbait 100, 200

Rapala BX Jointed Shad

I saw those and was a bit surprised that they were more expensive than the Keitechs. I forget how many were in a pack, maybe that was the difference in price.

I did get to tank test them and while I am disappointed (though not surprised) that they didn't have the keitech wide tail kick at slow speed, they produced a lot of "thump." They will be used as swimjig trailers for me, probably.

For what I paid for them, they aren't bad. Standard 7.29 price? Probably not.

Have you used the Eggs before? If so what do you think? I am curious to see what you think of them I was looking at them last night.

Add a BPS PQ to list 'o things.

I got a chronarch ci4 on the trade (gift card and no curado I). My wife threw some skitter raps into the cart and I bought a couple pairs of fishing gloves.

Heads up reel trade in has been extended to Saturday jump on if you haven't!

PQ is a steal at $65
