Super User Master Bait'r Posted November 21, 2014 Author Super User Share Posted November 21, 2014 I just received a "new to me" Daiwa Fuego through the flea market. Now the bait monkey is riding me hard on getting a rod to pair it with. YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT THAT WAY, DOOD!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAGreg Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Scored a *** *** casting rod for $125 off of ebay. Wasn't looking for a rod but it was too good to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KritterGitter Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Swimbaits and gear to throw em on....So far a Okuma guide select swimbait rod thanks to the flea market, a Cardiff 301A, Savage gear line through trout, River2Sea s waver and 2 Hudd 68's.....gonna be a long road traveled. Still stocking up on LC pointers for upcoming months, the pickerel got extra hungry last winter.... And thats only freshwater....Looking to pick up a Okuma Komodo 350 in the next couple of days to pair with my bridge rod since my cardiff went to my swimbait rod.

Super User ww2farmer Posted November 23, 2014 Super User Share Posted November 23, 2014 Even a trip to wal mart for some new boot laces is a hazard to the wallet. They were practically giving away Lightning Rod shocks, so I picked up a couple more. Now I have backup rods for my backup rods lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 23, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted November 23, 2014 I spent $150 on fishingskirts.com yesterday. 3 packs of weedguards, the rest was all skirt material. Been a busy fall with the local tackle store keeping me cranking out baits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish my Walmart would put them on sale and carry more than 6'6 mh's They are a guilty pleasure of mine. Even though I have "better" rods, I find myself using these all the time, even though I claim they are my "backup/loaner rods". IDK what it is about them. But I have never paid full retail for them, and I think it just tickles my cheapskate bone that I am out there catching fish just fine with what some people on here would label as "junk". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crankinstein Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The latest bait monkey attack resulted in two separate tw orders plus one from a local shop for some shellcracker G2s. I told myself I'd just do a small order which basically means I had to do a follow up order for the stuff I "forgot" haha. The bait monkey has no mercy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a 6' Amp medium spinning rod with a supreme XT and some 4# line on it for the little guy. Perfect beater rod- cheap, tough, the one pieces have a pretty decent action and backbone. Certainly no complaints for the $! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam lancia Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 My recent bait monkey binge was on a couple of second-hand reels, one a BPS Carbonlite and the other a Daiwa TD-X. I'm going to wait until the fishing exhibition shows that are coming up in February and March to see what other damage I can inflict on my wallet... Then there's also the trip to Japan that my wife is taking, I might place an order for her to bring back with me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevec328 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Picked up a Berkley Shock spinning rod today. Haven't fished it but I'm impressed so far. Only problem is I really didn't need it. Bait monkey.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 24, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted November 24, 2014 I had no idea you made baits... Now I want one! Yep, been doing it for over 10 years now. The bait monkey is bad enough when you have to pick from stock colors. Once you get to create your own combinations it gets that much worse! It's fun to do though and after a lot of trial and error you end up with some real winners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
