Thanks Mumbly.  I found it but your explanation is better.

Wasn't me! I did get the Phantom Shad in the 110 tho. Also got Bone and Loon in the 110's. The 130 I got in Blue Blood.

Hah, I bet you took that phantom shad 110 out of my cart.  I had one loaded up, and went to add something else. When I went back to the cart it popped up that that phantom shad one was no longer available.  Fun times, lol.

Just wanted to comment on this, and maybe get a few reactions.  The nearby Ollies (had never heard of the store before this thread) had two boxes full.  They included Sammy's, Pointers, and Gunfish.  They also included a broad range of Lucky Craft ranging from rare to downright obscure.

Examples included TR.85SR minnows, CB-001's, classical leaders, big LV's, bevy cranks, shallow pointers, live pointers, etc.  One had a sticker saying "new for 2002" which I take as indicating they somehow got a hold of some very old stock!

 

Maybe this isn't the thread to get into details, but interested to learn if any of these old baits are gems, and especially if there would be any difference between 2002-era and 2018-era sammys, pointers etc.  Maybe the answer is if they are Lucky Craft they are going to be great?

 

Any Wanders ? The right size and colors bring $30 to $40 each around here !

I didn't find any.

FYI - Academy is also running all Zoom baits at 25% off, add the CC201820PCT code for another 20% off - comes out to right at 40% off the original price.  That code appears to apply to everything I've tried buying, fyi.

No Wanders in the lot I saw.  I think I covered nearly all of the ones I saw.  I bought a few of these older less common baits since they were priced at about $1.50 each.

Argh. In for Whopper Ploppers and Horny Toads.

Can't go wrong with Bone and Loon. Never tried Perch but I'm sure that'll do just fine as well.

Moment of silence for all of the carts full of phantom shad killed during this sale.

I have a 130 in perch and they kill it. Two summers ago I kid you not I probably spent 50% of my total fishing time with that one lure. It has hook rash like no other bait I own. 

Adreneline junky I got the same colors along with a bunch of zooms, thanks for the codes. Cabelas has St Croix Premier rods on sale..

Dammit. Now I'm mad I bought Phantom Shad over Perch.

But phantom shad is great! There’s a reason they’re sold out

Some of them are 40% off, on top of the BOGO too, like the Flippin Hooks.

 

I like their Swim Blade hooks, picked up 4 packs.

 

Also they have the Megbass Orochi EMTF for $220, probably the old model.

 

$20 off $100 through 4/22.

 

Oh, they want $150 for shipping the rod...

Edited April 20, 20188 yr by Junger
lol $150 for shipping

Checked out the deals at the Ollie's in my area but those Lucky Craft are marked $6.99, still a fair price but not anything I'm cleaning out racks for. In fact I left empty handed!

I went to our local Ollie's and checked out the lucky Craft. I also left empty handed. They also had a bunch of Arashi square bills for $3.99. I good price but I didn't need any. I don't know why they discontinued them. I have had pretty good luck with the ones I have used. I guess we both beat the bait monkey.

Here's my latest Wal-Mart score...
