Anybody have any package delays? My new Trolling motor from TW has been in UPS's possession for 2 weeks now and has been delayed for 5 days.... Rest of my order arrived spot on, actually Early!!

A lot of people. There were  stay at home orders right after BF and limited employees in CA at UPS. There's going to be alot of delays. Crappy timing...but it happens. 

I don't mind Crappies, if bass ain't biting

My fishing online order seems to be lost in the mail. Very disappointing as a first purchase. TW order just arrived...excited to fish a Dark Sleeper for the first time. I’m thinking it will be great in a weedy pond. 

Anyone have any idea if the hook up tackle is having another sale? ticked I missed out on the BF sale ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

Midway has 1000 yard spools of 8lb Tatsu for 95.00

 

Only 1 left now so act fast.

Well I can almost promise you that has nothing to do with the folks at Fishing Online, I have talked to some of them personally and they seem to be good people.  I have never had a problem getting my stuff from them!  That is on USPS!!  Also they are in PA so they are dealing with the same thing TW is with staffing.

I put in a Fishing Online order and got it within a few days.  I've ordered from them a few time and haven't had issues.  I wouldn't hold this one against them as they have a very solid reputation.

You are going to be disappointed in that Dark Sleeper in that scenario. They work much better in rock lake bottoms. When ive tried them in my ponds, Ive caught fish, but you're digging muck and gunk up with the lure. Its made to hop bottom.

So it's not just me. I got one but rarely use it anymore because it's too much work to keep clean compared to other baits.

I have found the same thing.  Need to go lighter than expected but then its not really doing what I want down there.  There a lot of better options to use for that application IMO.

Yep, disappointing. Caught way too much grass this AM for it to be worthwhile for my purposes.

Brianne in ops  has been working through resolving it. Strange that it was two separate shipments and issues on both of them. It’s on USPS.

Anything specific you have to do??  I just tried it on a Daiwa rod and it said code couldn't be applied to my cart... Bummer.

I tried to buy a new Burris optic with it.  Didn't work.  Unfortunately they have a TON of exclusions.  Very disappointing.  Everyone is turning into Bass Pro.

Good reels. I definitely feel like it’s worth the jump in price from the regular president. They feel like two completely different reels. Much lighter and crisper compared to the president. I think a lot of that is due to the carbon handle. 
 

I actually bought mine as a rare “downgrade” after I broke my Supreme XT. Not disappointed one bit.

I snagged one of these up since it was even lower priced than a standard President - $30 less than the non-LE XT. I think BPS is 'dumping' them to make room for a new model or something.

It isn't necessarily the retailers, it's the manufactures.  They have restricted pricing and it is a requirement of theirs in order for retailers to carry their products.   There are ways around it... Like how Tackle Warehouse offers gift cards at a 10% off or if the retailer offers a community day discount.

Academy sale just started today that includes numerous models of Costas at 50% off.  

Anyone know of some baitcaster deals on amazon or other fishing stuff? Got a gift card from work, may just give it to my wife and let her use it.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MY40H67/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A3NU6AZPJLBBJ0&th=1&psc=1

 

https://www.amazon.com/Zebco-IC101HPT-BX3-Quantum-Baitcast/dp/B01NBQFHMH/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=quantum+icon+pt&qid=1607964195&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-2

 

I've picked up 4 of these since this past April to use as my Yak reels, but they're so good I use them everywhere now. $120 before being discontinued and discounted. These reels are built like tanks and have remained smooth dragging frogs through muck and cranking up to 3 oz swim baits and wake baits. Do a quick gear lube and oil the spool bearings and you're good to go. Because I'm liking the ICONs I just picked up a Qauntum Vapor PT which is it's replacement. The Vapor's the same reel but with an ultra light spool and CB handle.

 

This guy uses one. Go to 4:10 mark on video for a close up.

Sweet, you found the link to Sheltons Icon offer. I searched and that one never came up, but a lot of non quantum reels did,  Amazon can be a PIA. I had already ordered one from them for Christmas and was thinking of doing another. The other sellers reviews aren't great and the first one, at least in the pictures from my parents looks really clean. Glad to see it is still there, thanks!

The 1st 2 came from Simmons on the auction site for about the same price plus shipping. @new2BC4bass steered me to the Shelton's deal on amazon. My brother's and my next 2 came from there. Reviews there are what they are. We fish a lot in heavy duty spots.. No issues at all. None. Plus, if you like moon-shotting frogs this reel will put a smile on your face.
