Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)

Nice bait.  I had to talk myself out of buying one the other day.  I haven't looked to see if they're sold out, too tempting.

Still up :eyebrows: . I tested it in the pool yesterday and I really like the swim. It's really fluid at all speeds and can 180 pretty easily. I'm keeping mine, but I'm sure they'd resell for close to, if not more than retail if you decided to get rid of it.

I hadn't bought anything for about 3 weeks....so, I bought a couple handles from Hawgtech with those totally sweet Winn grips.  

 

I have a couple of the 102mm swept w/winns on my old Shimano CA-200's.  

 

I ordered the 90mm and 94mm straights w/winns for a couple of my Daiwa this time.

The wiggle wogs are a pretty cool alternative to normal frogs. They definitely get hit but just be ready to wail on 'em to set the hook. Also be sure to check your hooks. I had to send one back because it was irreparably misaligned and ran crooked.

Jeff, What are your thoughts on the winn grip style knobs? How would you compare them to say Shimano's septon knobs or the knobs found on a Steeze/TDZ?

2x rapala DT-20

4x strike King 6XD

2x spro fat papa dd70

I like them a lot so far.  They are tacky, never slippery.  When it comes to design questions, I'm unsure about the taper design vs just a standard round cylindrical style wrapped with Winn material.  They are kinda big, and when I first got them I thought "I'm not gonna like these", but I got used to them in a hurry and really like them.

 

I like the Daiwa TD-Z style knobs quite a bit too.  It's been many years since I've used Shimano Septons so I can't compare those.  When I get these new handles I'll be able to tell you more regarding direct comparisons to Daiwa knobs.  I think I'm in trouble here now though, I like these Winn knobs and this could get expensive.

honestly not sure if i like this or don't like this.... i mean yeah it was annoying, but may have very well saved me tons of money too......

Hey thanks, I'll keep an eye on that.

DANG IT!  Submitted an order with TW and opted for the 2 day shipping for $5...  Wouldn't you know it, those azzhats were planning on holding the order up until the out of stock item arrived- which was a livetarget sunfish - not due until late winter!!!  

 

 

Now I'm officially not going to have them for the occasion I had specifically paid extra to have the stuff by.  Color me not happy one bit.  

They are holding you're entire order hostage, because the sunfish isn't due till late winter?

 

I'd contact them about it, I've heard they have really good customer service.

I've had positive experiences in the past but that just seems like a lack of common sense. Not stoked I have to call in the AM to *try* and save the day.

I'll bet they make it worth your time.   But, it is a weird problem

All of your in stock items should ship 2 day tomorrow and anything besides the sunfish on back order will wait until the remaining if any items are all in stock.

Edit:


 

Well now I feel bad for having spoken ill of them- checked again this morning just because I'm obsessive and it is on it's way and on schedule. It still says "on hold" at the top but tracking is active and en route.

Sorry TW, I guess I'm the azzhat today!  lol

Walmart in hartsville has missile baits for $2 a bag. So I grabbed all I could carry

Just got a bunch of YakAttack gear - two RAM tubes, two Zooka Tubes, slidetrax mounts for all that, and mounts for the graph and ducer. Oh yeah, got a cool slidetrax T-Reigns retractor. In other news, As of Thursday, I'm up to four of these things, lol. This is a little Tama Birch kit.
