Lure Lock is running an automatic 40% off (once in your cart) site wide on everything.  I came across mention of them last night perusing old threads and did some research.  They have a durable no residue sticky pad on the bottom of their tackle organizers that holds things in place.  They also sell rectangular sticky pads.  Several legit reviews were positive around the web.  I was interested initially in the pads to stick on my desk and vehicle dashboards and also picked up a few organizers to try out.  Combined with rubber bands over the trebles (another tip I picked up perusing old posts) seems like it could be quite efficient for storage if you like everything laid out flat and organized and not tossed in on top of each other.

 

For me at least the 6 codes I had for Pure Fishing are no longer working.  I just went through them all with new unique email addresses and none of them worked.  I haven't found any other codes as of yet.  It was an exercise in curiosity, I think I bought just about everything I even remotely wanted over the past 2 weeks and then some. 

LOL, just checked the shipping email on the Kastking.....stuff is coming from China.    Yeah this is garbage and won't be going on any serious use reel.    I feel ripped off even for a $1?

Yeah there's been back and forth about where the line is made since they state engineered and manufactured in Germany but the spool box clearly has a made in china label on the back ... who knows. For me its $1 that might turn out to be half decent leader material for fishing zebra infested areas

Although im no expert in fishing line I’ll add for what it’s worth I have 2 spools of their 4 lb line and 1 spool of their florokote line in 4 lb test. The florokote has been  on the reel for 3 seasons and although I’m not catching monster fish it’s held up extremely well and honestly has not coiled up nearly as bad as I thought it would. The 4 lb mono I bought last season and my only complaint is the blue color faded a lot faster than I expected but the red color shows no signs of fade whatsoever. Again I’m not catching monsters but I’ve experienced no problems with knot failures or inconsistencies in the line whatsoever. YMMV

Every spool or pic of a spool I've seen says "material from Germany", which isn't the same as made in Germany.

 

Okay, I just now found a closeup pic of a blue box of Kovert and it says manufactured in Germany.

 

Who knows. It's not like I don't have most of 3 1000-yard spools of Tatsu left.

Has everyone received their Grandebass orders?  Mine hasn't shown up.  They are a small company, but it's been almost a month.  Sent them a message this morning....we'll see what they say.

I just got mine yesterday.

My local Walmart had half price senkos tonight. I got some green pumpkin black flake.

That's a score. I wish my Walmart had sales.

Mine finally arrived this afternoon. Ordered Dec 1 or 2, can't remember exactly. I sent three emails that were never responded to.

Hate to hear this. I really like their products. I wouldn't so much mind the wait if they'd just tell me up front to expect it.

They most definitely should have informed everyone purchasing during that sale about the wait.  I also think they make great baits, but not informing or responding is a big turn off ?

Got my first of two $1 spools in the mail today...

Front looks like it should, back was interesting because of the sticker on it covering up the original upc.

Got mine today also.  The spool comes with a plastic case like some JDM lines.  I got some 12lb and tested the breaking strength like I always do with a new line.  Breaks were in the line, not at the knot at between 11-12lbs.  Thats good for me.  I will use it.  Doesn't seem too stretchy so it may be good for me.  I don't like rubber band fluoro.  I have ready that it may not be great with abrasion resistance, but I don't fish lakes with a lot of rock.

How do you test breaking strength?

I got mine and thought the same thing. These were obviously meant to go to Academy and I'm wondering if they canceled a huge order that KK ran especially for Academy, that they then backed out of.

 

Either way I got a Spool in 15lb that I have no idea what I'll use for haha. 

Today, as promised.

 

 

With the added bonus of box personalization under the shipping label.  Little touches make return customers I guess?

Or they know who messed up packing it if there’s a problem.

I assume it's the customer's name, not the packer. Mine had my name on it also, and I'm not "Chris".
