Sales

x2

When I'm catching fish consistently, I use what I got and just replenish.

When I'm in a bad rut, I keep buying, hoping to find that magic bait.

That...and a good sale...

Having money in my pocket...

Let's see...

 

Lately it has been tournament success, BR member recommendations and infomercials.

So here are some "new to me" which I have not fished or barely fished:  6th Sense Crush

Flat 75X, Rapala DT6 (Demon), Scatter Rap and Shadow Rap. Yet to acquire: Mann's

Reel 'N Shad, ZMan Pop Shadz, Siebert Outdoors Fogy, Savage Hollow Frog Action Legs

and Duo Realis Spinbait (spybait).

 

 

 

For me lately, it's been seeing some really nice looking baits from small bait producers on FB.  Hand poured  baits in custom colors and custom jigs.  I've got a ton of stuff lately from these kind of guys and have some really, really nice stuff.  Plus, you're doing business with  guys or gals with families that are doing something they put a lot of pride into.  Win, win.

I have just about got all of the baits that I need until I burn through some...

Until I got a BVK 8wt for Christmas. Now I need to fill boxes of redfish, bass and carp flies and will probably take up tying here shortly...

Do NOT take up fly fishing if you have no impulse control!

I like to click on "Shop By Brands" on TW. Then I have a look at what AA's worms has to offer. This year for sure I'm going to see how I like Z-Man's Elaztech products.

 

I keep a pad of narrow ruled paper handy and write everything down. Doesn't mean I'm going to order but it's all there if I do decide to whip out the credit card.

Just curious mods.

Did you ever get a new sponsor, whose product you didn't like and have to say, sorry guys, this just doesn't cut it. Or do they all, always get great reviews?

I'm like a lot of people. Boredom; particularly related to bad weather.

Videos on Facebook that certain sites put out catch my attention.

Every time I get a new rod I have to get some new baits that I will use on that rod to give that rod a fighting chance at success.

Many potential sponsors have been rejected. Glenn is very selective regarding both the quality

of the product and the reputation of the company.

That's good to know Kent. I like knowing you guys are picky. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, but after I re-read my own post, it did look like sarcasm.

I actually thought it was a great question, Hootie.  Didn't read sarcasm at all.

I just bought 2 3600 boxes for my bag... and it is killing me that they are semi empty.
