Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)

Featured Replies

I can't wait to. The fit & finish as well as colors look great and the segmentation should make them nice and finessey. I got the 4" and after fondling had to get the 5.5". They feel like they'll do exactly what I'm looking for on that end of things.

I'd get the 7.5" one :D I live in NY so i know how you feel about throwing big baits here in the northeast but trust me... they work, and pull in some lunker bass along with small ones too.

 

edit: or the 6.5" one

    This is an extension from the 'Picking Out New Baits' thread in which I said my wife and boy were bass bait shopping for my birthday.  They done good.

It does tricks in the dark.

What model & color is the glow in the dark one?  That's a fantastic idea - I've not been able to find it - Google's failed me.

 

Thanks, in advance, for your reply...

I've never seen it before either.

I was told it was a Color only offered in France and it is called "blind date".

Was at Waly World and picked up a Plano line spool box, and a couple of bags of Zoom 4" lizards in watermelon seed and Pumpkin black flake. They really didn't have much, so I was happy I did'nt spend a load.

This has been my off season so far. Still need to buy two more setups. Also have one more on the way from Tackle Warehouse.

what abu garcia bag is that? Is it on TW?

I just bought a baitcast combo from BPS,ordered 6 pks. of space monkies from Mike,along with some other stuff.I really love dem space monkies,and so do the bass here.

Thanks - I'll give it a whirl.  Worst case, a friend of mine is from Paris - I can see if he can have a relative ship it...

 

Though I must admit I've done well fighting off the monkey this winter - he's tugging at my PayPal account hard tonight....   MUST RESIST.

I believe it's the Veritas bag, and I'm too lazy to go look. But you can find out easily.

Sounds right, and it was on sale over black Friday for $40 but I think normally it's $59.99 or $69.99.

Was that from the small bass boat anglers swap? There's a guy there every year that sells Pointers for $5 NIB; that's where I got all 12 of my mine. Looks like he may have raised his prices slightly tho.

  • Super User

Yes it was, and I bought the pointers from a different guy this year.

just ordered a scorpion xt1000. also picked up alot of stuff on clearance at academy- big bite baits cane thumpers,jackall flickshakes,a frog, assorted berkley/havoc at basspro.

Just ordered 3 LC 3.5 X18's to go with the 3 SK 8XD's I bought yesterday.  Hopefully my Dobyn's 805CB RM will get here this week.

Ordered a Fenwick HMX MF 7' to pair with my newly acquired Pflueger President!

Just bought a couple things to prepare for spring... 

 

3 LC Pointers

2 Squadminnows

2 S-waver 168's

It all just arrived!

Revo Toro Nacl

Volatile rod

2 3600's Plano boxes

& a 3700 spinner box... my other two I didn't like.. so maybe 3rd times the charm.

The wife had already said no more tackle or gear for the rest of the season!.... I'm over 3 month out before the season even starts! How!?

As I add it up though.. I'm already into this season for over $1,200.00..... lol woops...

This isn't tackle but the monkey is responsible anyway so it's only fitting. Just pulled the trigger on a new revo stx 7:1:1 lefty. It will be here Saturday. No spare rods to put it on so now I have to find something else I like...

  • Super User

It is tackle. You don't buy reels at bed bath and beyond.

When I think tackle I think bait or gear. Rods and reals are more equipment or hardware in my mind.
