I go there every few months just to look around...so I can buy things online. Their prices and lack of coupons leave a lot to be desired.  I was just there last week and only spent 50 bucks.

are people able to purchase black dog baits? there website is atrocious and the cart doesnt work and it seems like everything is out of stock. did they go out of business?

Welcome to the swimbait world.  These companies make small batches and drop them- pretty much sell out each time.  There are a few places you can find them but you have to be quick.

But, but, but.. the Bargain Cave. The Monkey and I bond back there over overstocked items, tungsten worm and drop shot weights immediately come to mind. My local Cabela's is known to have Calcutta 200Bs get closed out annually, friggin staff always beats me to the punch.

Well, let's see it!  

I heard someone mention a sale on fishing items at Ollies and didn't think much of it because I didn't think we had one near me, but while out today I spotted one and couldn't help but to check it out and they had some good deals on some stuff. They had huge box full of hundreds of Chatterbaits in just about every color, all in 3/8 oz though for $3.99 and a bunch of plastics. I could of went crazy, but I just picked out some colors I didn't have.

Hi Michael. Let me tell you a little about myself.

 

A while back, somebody here mentioned that Tackle Warehouse had the Jackall Archelon on sale as 'close-out' pricing, and they were wondering if they're gonna stop carrying/selling them. Or if Jackall was gonna stop making them.

 

Now, I already have about 30 packs of them in my boat which will last me quite awhile. But since it's one of my favorite baits, I panicked and raced over to TW and ordered 20 more packs.

 

Now I have 50 packs of Jackall Archelon's, and as it turns out, they aren't being discontinued afterall. 

 

This is one of many stories you'll hear if you hang around us crazies long enough.

Did the same thing with SK Shellcrackers a year or two ago.  I use them as jig trailers almost exclusively, I have a literal lifetime supply I think.  

So here I am, having completed my rod and reel collection with all of the techniques I know. Perfectly content with everything a fisherman could ever ask for. Then I decided I needed a better jerkbait collection, including a rod. Then, after guiding a friend in his early bass journey by getting his first reel, I stumbled upon a Curado K deal and told him about it. After staring at it for 30 seconds I bought it. I don't have a rod to put it on. In a day, I shelled out $500 on things I didn't need. 

Welcome to the club!

I think @MrD1nkles is getting the hang of it. Well done sir, the bait monkey approves!

Have you ever tried that line before? I haven't but it was worth a shot at the price.
