I'm not really the guy to ask about swimbaits because I never have any luck with them. I force myself to throw one every so often hoping that changes but so far it hasn't. 

 

 

Do you throw swim jigs? They make great trailers.

I try, but never had much luck with them either. I think I've got one rigged up with a Rage Menace and another with a curly tail grub. I'll give a swimbait a try.

The X colors section...I wish they had that bone color Kick Back Shad in stock. Surprised more companies don't run that color in soft swimbaits. 

 

Ha, I saw that too and thought the same. 

 

I see lots of things in the Color X list that look interesting but they must sell out within minutes of posting because almost nothing is ever available by the time I get there.

 

They used to have a Smoke Shad color (light-ish gray on top, translucent white-ish on bottom) that was a killer for me in a 4.75" rattlesnake but I guess they discontinued it because it's no longer listed. Sadly I've only got a couple left in the bag. It's a fairly common color so I don't know why it's not offered as a staple.

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing, in fact I had loaded up the cart last week during the 40% sale and didn't pull the trigger because of that $12 shipping charge. Now that they've bumped the discount to 50% I'm reconsidering, but that does seem high for shipping.

 

You weren't seeing things - the "free shipping" minimum seems to be a moving target. Sometimes it's $79, sometimes it's $59, sometimes it's $100, and they don't always list what it is - you have to load the cart and go to checkout to see for sure. It seems to be $100 right now, which means you have to buy $200 worth of baits to qualify. That's a lot of worms for somebody who's already got more worms than he'll probably use in a lifetime.

Thanks!  I planned on spending a bill anyway.  Rattlesnakes and airtails get crushed!

I like the Rage Menace as well. Especially rigged vertically. But a good paddle tail will give the swim jig a slight back and forth roll as you're retrieving it. Sometimes that's the ticket.

Well I broke down and placed an order. Curious to see how the paddle tails compare to other brands. Also decided on getting a few wild colors. Thanks for the heads-up on the sale.

 

Keep buying or the monkey gets it!

This year they're only doing 12 days of Christmas, but supposedly they'll be offering more stuff during each day.

That works. I caught something in the email preview but not in the email itself. For me I have one or two items in mind that hopefully I will recieve enough gifts to cover. Otherwise I will wait to the spring. Truck repairs and other gifts slowed down my ability to talk the wife into order a couple of fishing rods for christmas/promotion gift to me lol.

6th sense has some random baits severely marked down.  Worth looking around even with the shipping costs…

Couldn’t pass them up. $1.99 a bag and even picked up a few Joy Sticks. They look like they have a somewhat flatter body and might make excellent trailers.

Myself and a friend just had our TW 'wish list' deleted, gone from thin air. Funny thing was 2 of my newer wish lists remain, but I had an older larger one that had all my go tos. And it's just gone. Anyone else experience the same thing?

yep! same! Not sure what happened. Annoying since I just went through and selected quite a few for family to select from...since apparently us fisherman are "impossible to buy for" ha

All right, all right I'll do it.

 

Dang it, I already have more worms than I'll ever use. But how do you pass up this deal?

Thanks, but my inventory of 6th Sense crankbaits is at the point, I should be the one having the Black Friday sale, but I did promise the Bait Monkey I would take at least take a look, after all I did loose a couple last weekend.

Pure Fishing (Abu, Berkley, Fenwick, Pflueger, ect) has a 50% off code that works on ALL items. I don't know when it expires or gets patched. Free shipping as well.
