My PF orders, a small TW order and Grande Bass swimbaits/Air Tail Rattlers. Oh, and a few rods from two JDM companies I never tried before. Major Craft Benkei and Legit Design Stand Out. Can't use them yet but both rods feel and look great. Wasn't sure what reel I was gonna get for the Benkei, then remembered I had a Lew's LFS that was rodless...and bonus, it just so happens to match up nicely with the gold accents.

 

Some of these Berkley baits I absolutely didn't need. A few I haven't fished before but figured I'd give them a shot at that price. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dang it, this picture reminded me that I'd ordered a pack of Airtail Shad in that Bone Crusher color and I couldn't remember seeing them in the box when I opened it. Sure enough, I double checked and they sent me two "Super Shad 4K" but labeled one "Bone Crusher". I don't know if it's worth hassling them over. Grrrr....

 

 

Give them a call and they will probably send you the baits for free.

Nice haul man. The Benkei is a sharp looking rod. It appears you go through quite a few Swim baits.

I was not able to find a phone number for them anywhere. Otherwise I would have called during the 3 weeks my order was stuck in "pre-shipment" status.

I really like that bone color. You don't see that often in soft plastics.

Bought myself some Christmas gifts from TW and they arrived today including:

 

Picasso Smartmouth Gamakatsu Jigs

Berkley Fusion underspins

BFL Smackdown Four Blade Rig

Some Keitech Wing Impact FAT in different lengths and colors

Some KVD Swin N Shiners in different colors

Another Z-Man Jackhammer

 

But they shorted me on a few items including a Plano Duffel Bag and a Shimano World Pop. I called and they said they would ship it out.

 

On my last order, they sent me multiples of 3 different lures when I had ordered only one. I called them about returning them and they told me to just keep them. I figured I would give them out as prizes to kids when I do Fishing with the GM in the spring.

 

Anyone having issues with wrong quantities or being shorted?

Not this year - but last year I ordered one of a certain color/size crankbait from FishUSA and there were two in the box...same deal, when contacted they told me to keep it...so I got a 'spare' now.

I do. Besides fishing them on jig heads/underspins, I use them often on swim jigs. And I fish swim jigs a lot. I already have a bunch of Keitech's, but I'm always looking to try other stuff. I've yet to try Grand Bass swimbaits. With their sale, I may have gone a little overboard. Hopefully I like them. Lol. 

 

The Eco Pro Swing Shad is a great alternate to the Keitech, and much cheaper, especially when they're on sale. Surprised they aren't talked about more. And the Booty Shaker is just a great, unique bait. The plastic is super soft, yet quite durable.

My last BF order was screwy just because they've already sent me two different shipments, and still have to send me one more.   Backorder stuff.   Just tell me at checkout that you are sold out, rather than let me pay and then send me something weeks or a month later.

Well, it doesn't bother me at all, in fact it helps me think about using the other

95% of my stuff that is still awaiting Baptism.

Just fish with a bunch of white soft plastics in your boat during a downpour. Viola, everything is bone the next day

You're like a shark in the Flea Market, I'm inclined to believe you ?

 

In all seriousness, most serious Bass fisherman I know have more tackle than they'll use in 10 lifetimes.  Just comes with the sport I think.

The only "white-white" is new right out of the package.

This is as brilliant as your solution for a trolling motor ?

Congrats!  Glad to hear you didn't a Jelly of the Month membership ?

 

TM will be an awesome way to spend that cheese, the wife unit will surely approve. once you tell her how much I ride you about it ?

Hahahah!!! She was thinking about getting me one, but I don’t want anything expensive because it’s guaranteed to fail. Just a standard cable steer 24v foot control is over $500, I can catch fish standing on a rock and use 500 bucks for jigheads until 2029

 

 

but I think i found a bow mount for $300 at academy, 12v and hand control

That made me chuckke.  Grandebass has no phone number listed, and they haven't responded to my emails, or anyone else's on this site.  I orderded on Nov. 30th, and all they've done is print a shipping label ?.  I'm not sure how the company has made it this long.

My PF order and a MB I picked up today. 

Are all the MB Perch models as light barred as this one?

They have 4-5 different perch patterns. I'm guessing that's the GP Pro Perch?

 

Here's mine for reference. In front of and behind light source. Does it look any darker when you take it out of the package? 

 

 

Yes it’s gp pro perch, it is very faint in light and more visible in low light it seems. 

Mat Perch seems to be the nicest pattern of the perch patterns to me...unless you want to go the route of Secret Oikawa!
