the price these commanded

Paying full price for those things is a rip off.  Not long ago they were 20% off.

And with Black Friday sales coming up in just over a month...waiting is a good thing.

Mommy, make the Chatterbait monkey stop.....please mommy!!!!!!!!!!

 

The Keitech 4" are a big no go on MiniMaxs FWIW.     3" Paddletails work, but a swim tail is best I'm finding.   

 

Anybody ever bother sending a single bait back to TW?   The CFL Football head model arrived with it's head chipped in 4 or 5 different places.    Not sure I want to go through the hassle for $5.     

 

One other thing, finally got around to getting a few JackHammers and to my surprise just like every other Chatterbait branded product I've bought which is seemingly all of them.....Made in China appears on the back.    China can make quality stuff, but I want USA or Japan for the price these commanded.   Oh well, if they work 3x better than the other models I currently use, I'll keep buying them.   

 

 

When you have a good day with that crankbait, you can say 'They just wore out my digle today'

HAHA, I've been trying to figure out how to pronounce it, and what it means since I bought it ?

 

Fish didn't want my Digle yesterday.....I'll never see this bait the same way again, thanks ?

Couldn't pass up 30% off some small topwaters, crankbaits, and wake/swimbaits. 

 

I normally just pick up a few items as needed at a local tackle shore.  However, I succumb to peer pressure and ordered an assortment of bladed jigs and various trailers last week.   I haven't went down the bladed jig/chatterbait rabbit hole yet.   Hopefully I'll see what all the hype is about next week.  

A few odds and ends lol, went in for a popper and maybe a weed less Willy. Ended up with more trick worms in colors I haven’t seen before, I have this strange compulsion to buy colors of trick worms that I don’t possess lol. A 3/4 oz spinner bait due to a recent thread on here and a 3/4oz thunder cricket due to another recent thread on here also. Doesn’t help that I started fishing the river more lately, need to combat current and keep it down deeper, also got not one but 2 weed less Willy’s, no clue how they will due but for $10 each I figured it is worth a try.

A diawa tatula lt jdm, and quite a few light game  toys. Will take some pictures once it arrives, i don't like to blow a ton on fishing equiptment; but I got 150$ dollars worth of tackle for 80$ and the reel was 130$ out the door, 210 total I'd pay 210 including tax on the reel alone so, I ain't complaining

I went in to look at certain color of worm and I come out with all of this lol. 2 packs of tubes some tube hooks that I wanted to try. 1 pack of grubs some jig heads for them and the pack of easy shiners lol. I go in with a idea and go from there,like I say you don’t know unless you throw lol.

Have a new Falcon Cara Amistad and the new Lews BB1Pro out for delivery today!  Can’t wait to get them rigged up tonight. I told the wife that I don’t exist this weekend. 70’s and sunny in the Chicago burbs’….gotta hit it while the weather is still good!

Oooh I’m gonna have to try this same technique with the wife! We only have so many casts left this year, shoot it was snowing for us Monday morning. 

I was in a crappy mood watching the Yankees tonight so I took a break and ended up on the TW website. Not too much damage, but bought a couple a Fire Tiger colored crankbaits, a Jack Hammer since I lost yet another one the other day, a Cavitron Buzzbait, and a Medium Light Falcon Lowrider spinning rod.

 

And yes, I know I posted a few months ago that I hate spinning gear. I still do, but sometimes it's a necessary evil. It also put me over the top for another free TW t-shirt ?

Some more stuff, drop shot stuff, some tube things, mini max chatter bait with 3” zako trailers, some 1/32 oz jig heads and 2” fat impacts for my bfs bug lol.

Needed some "louder" boxes to stand out from the others.

 

I never realized the jdm tackle monkey made the usdm one look like a little mouse.

 

So today was Tackle Warehouse day at my house as my latest order arrived. The main item was a Falcon Lowrider medium light spinning rod. Yeah, I know. I said I "hate" spinning gear. But it fulfills the occasional need and while I like my Shimano spinning reel I wasn't too fond of the various spinning rods I have laying around.

 

But I also bought a Jackhammer Chatterbait, Rapala Shallow Shad Rap Firetiger, Berkeley Squarebull Firetiger Crankbait, and a Megastrike Cavitron Buzzbait. Oh yeah - and the obligatory free t-shirt and sticker, both that I will put to good use.

 

Odds are I will also lose the Jackhammer soon. I have a ton of chatterbaits, but every time I splurge and buy a Jackhammer I usually lose it within the next few fishing trips I take. You would think I would have learned by now.

 

But as I was emptying the box the items just kept coming. It seems they sent me THREE buzzbaits and two Squarebulls when I ordered only one each. I sent them an email offering to send them back using the return label they provided but they told me to keep them. Thanks TW. Next time I'm fishing out back of my hotel and there are kids out there I'll see if they want the extras.

 

Has anyone else received "bonus" items with their TW order?

I sent one swim jig back to TW because the skirt was damaged for some reason. I just used the box it came in and the prepaid shipping label, along with the return form. It was quite easy and I got my $5 back in about a week

TW has, BY FAR, the best return policy/procedure in the business. 

2 packs hula grubs

1 pack speed senkos

1 pack 3.5 salty core tubes

2 packs money jigs

1 pack owner ultra head jigs

 

I am trying to find the right jig heads for the hula grubs, it’s a struggle but I will get there. I also wanted to try those speed senkos in that color and they had them in hula grubs also, why not the bait monkey said and I agreed lol, don’t fight the urge to resist.

Well this time I actually got what I was planning on buying when I went to the tackle shop. What was that you might ask ? Dobyns jig heads of course, I was also thinking about that lucky craft jerk bait in that color. It’s been calling to me from the shelf multiple times. I also got extras of course, that’s what they count on. I saw some odd colors and that had the bait monkey pointing them out with a spotlight. I am a sucker for odd colors, it works for me though.

1 pack dobyns jig heads 1/8oz

1 pack easy shiner in table rock shad

1 pack team dirty jigs finesse jig heads

1 spro steelhead jig 1/8oz 

1 lucky craft pointer 100 aurora green perch

 

Didn't get to do a ton of fishing this year so my purchases reflected that.  Got a St. Croix Legend Tournament, Legend Glass, and few other odds and ends not pictured as well.  I just got the Bantam from Japan Lure Shop.  Such a sweet little reel. hopefully I get a chance to use it in  a couple weeks.
