Alright, who is going to play the role of Santa Claus this year and provide us with the pure fishing 50% off code? 

Given their issues...I wouldn't count on big sales from them.

So if I see a deal on Fireline I should buy a lifetime supply then.

Last year I used the code to order two rods.  I received one of the rods I ordered and I received a second rod that was not even close to the rod that I ordered.  Not even the same species!  I called, I emailed...for TWO MONTHS.  Never got any kind of response at all.  The 50% off turned into me paying over 100% for the rod I ordered and getting a rod I didn't want.  Good luck. 

I got my credit

I'm willing to throw the dice, do you have a code?

 

 

Omnia has $60 gift cards for $50.

 

Speaking of Omnia....they have other companies playing catch up.  A well known tackle store emailed me today, saying they doubled their sign up bonus for their "Elite" program, making subscriptions effectively free.  Omnia offered this at launch.

Omnia is by far my favorite. Their relationship with customers is the best. 

I didn't have any issues with my orders last year but the hard baits I bought were just bad. About half of the bills broke throughout the year.  Most of them broke while casting.  It got so bad I called their customer service line and to my surprise,  I got through to someone helpful and nice. She was able to warranty about a dozen baits after I sent pictures. I received new ones a few days later but unfortunately a few of these baits did the same thing and the rest didn't run well and needed tuning.  

 

On a positive note,  I had no problems with the soft plastic and terminal tackle I ordered.  Still a big fan of this stuff.

Dang, what baits?

Digger, Dredger,  and Money Badger.  I also ordered a few Stunnas and gave a couple to a buddy.  Neither one of us has caught a fish on them. 

 

 

Now I know why the two Plano 3670 custom divider boxes I just ordered have about doubled in price since the last time I bought some. I think maybe PF paid too much for Plano in 2021. Oh well, they didn't cost nearly as much as the 40 topwater baits that were on sale elsewhere. 

For you St. Croix Fan boyz -

 

 

That's a bummer. Hopefully they figured something out. I haven't had any issues yet with the Money Badger, Dredger or Frittsides. But I haven't fished them a ton, either. Well, the Frittsides I have.

I guess I should have mentioned, I did order I think two Frittsides and no issues with those. These breaks occurred within a few casts of being taken out of the box and also in open water. I wonder if they were damaged somehow in shipping or packaging. They look good out of the box though.

You’ll probably get the email in the morning.  Never had a problem with them not sending out credits, if you don’t get it by 9 central time just use the chat on the website.

They got me for some Picasso spinnerbaits. Some were, at one time,  only available from Picasso's website. 

@FishTank He who shan’t be named is eyeballing my front door from a nearby tree at the moment. He’s going to get me for some Picasso A-rigs which Omnia didn’t have in stock earlier when they were $10 ea. Probably some swimbait jig heads as well since I am getting so good at hanging A-rigs on deep ends of laydowns like giant Xmas tree ornaments.

 

Probably another rod as well once those go on sale. Swimbaits too. SIGH!

I could have picked up a ton more but I have already over done it.  Wait until I post some pictures or maybe I'll do an unboxing video, it might be easier. 

 

I was tempted to grab a few A-rigs but I have become more of an expert at getting it unsnagged than I have at catching fish on it.  

here is a good one........

 

sunline has some stuff marked down 60% (Flippin FC & Shooter Defier). Shipping is expensive unless you spend $75 (which I did, easily), then it is free. Sorry for those of you trying to avoid the bait monkey, he got me good with this one. 

@Kreagerc

He’s been playin’ lots of us like a fiddle off & on since Black Friday.

But none more than @NorthernBasser I’m afraid.🤣🤣
