Who's Ben? Apparently I like his flavor of Koolaid. ?

 I'm assuming he is referring to Ben from The Hook Up Tackle. 

 

Speaking of The Hook Up Tackle, I just got a small order in from them. I really could have used this order yesterday. The bass had the baitfish pinned up against the shore where I was fishing, and were making repeated runs at them up into a few inches of water. I did fairly well with what I had, but I think I would have smashed them with these mylar minnows.

Oh, well that would be right on then. I called them, gave a description of my water/fish, and said build me a $30-$40 free rig starter kit. It was fun to open the box because I had no idea what would be in it, lol.

Another test subject arrived today.

I just picked one up too. Only complaint I have is the location of the hook holder.

I don’t have any complaints with the hook holder, but I did do a double take when I saw the location.

Yeah, that's my gripe also.

Ordered a bunch of red/orange trailers from TW for my Jackhammers but wow, 14 days just to process the order? WOW, might have to cancel.

 

Has anyone had any luck with TW getting them out sooner than that?

I believe Cali is on heavy workplace restrictions due to Covid, if you buy the 2 day shipping, it gets out timely.  I think this will be an issue for weeks, they seem slammed.

Yup. Pay the 15 bux and they get it right out. Past two shipments have gone that way for me.

Thanks, I'll call when they open and see if they can change the shipping.

Definitely frustrating. California is very open with retail/warehouses and most of the state even has indoor dining at some percentage by now. It's pretty frustrating they're 14 days out to even get a package out to my place when the carrier (GSO or UPS) standard delivery for me is just 1 day. Read somewhere else they were having significant staffing issues that were causing the delays, and that makes the most sense to me since covid should be a non-factor getting orders put together.

 

There are also some cynical reports of them enjoying all the extra $ from people paying for expedited service, but I sure hope that's not the case. Whatever the reason, upside down world when I get orders from BPS, Cabelas, Kittery Trading Post, and their competitor in KY at least a week before my "neighbor" can get it to me unless I pay them extra.

I’ve had the opposite experience. All my orders have showed up within a week and a half. Last Saturday I ordered a Dobyns rod and it showed up Wednesday or Thursday, it did come from the new Georgia warehouse. 
 

I have had the same luck as you though. In the past week and a half I ordered boats seats and they arrived here in Michigan from Connecticut in 1 day. I ordered the Dobyns rod and it arrived here from Georgia in 4 days. Finally I ordered a milk crate for my tackle trays a week and a half ago and that was coming from Flint, Michigan 2.5 hours away and it’s apparently lost according to the tracking and they’ve sent another one. 
 

There’s no rhyme or reason to this shipping dilemma that’s for sure. I can get boat seats from Connecticut in 24 hours, but can’t get a milk crate that’s 2 hours from me in a week and a half. 
 

How do you lose a milk crate anyways? ?

I placed a $115 order with Sieberts last night. ? Bait monkey bit hard! Lots of lighter weight muddy water jigs with the rattle band. The blemished arky is the best deal in the world of jigs. A few bee swim jigs in new colors, a couple Chatterbaits, and some Rage plastics.  
 

I think close to 20 jigs ?

For boat rods, that's my preferred location for a hook keeper. I like that my tungsten weights are slapping the grip rather than the blank when in the rod locker. #Potholes #RoughWater
