This is the third time my TW account has gotten messed up. It keeps saying my login & password is incorrect. They have not changed in the last 2 years since the last time it did this. I called them and they said just create a new account with your next order. Great, but I lost my wish list and now have to try to recreate it from memory and a new order is not in my near future. Seems like a problem with their server. Curious, Has anyone else had this happen?

My account login still works but my wish lists did disappear.  Sucks cause I had a lot of good stuff saved.  Maybe a hacker trying to combat the bait monkey?

I lost my swimbait wishlist this winter but kept all the rest.  I mean look at the positive, remaking them gives you something to do when you're indisposed.

Hmmmm not gonna lie. I’ve always checked out as a guest I didn’t know you could make a wish list! I just keepa Running cart lol. Ugh I don’t need more stuff tho

You have to watch keeping a running cart as a guest.  It stores in your browser cache and your cache occasionally dumps.  So you lose it.  Next time you purchase, create an account and then always stay logged in.  I’ve never lost a wish list across a bunch of devices so long as I stay logged in.

I’ll have to do that! I mean I probably shouldn’t but I will! Thank you! 

Just don't save your credit card info on their site. They got hacked a couple years ago and were not very forthright about it all. They kept letting people order while there was an active risk if user data still being stolen. 

 

I reached out for support/answers and got absolutely ignored. 

 

order from Omnia or bait wrx

It's super handy in the winter actually.  They run the christmas gift card sale (10% off) so buy one for yourself.  Then build a wishlist through the winter until they run their spring sale where everything is 20% off.  Use the gift card to pay and you basically have 30% off (28% if you want to get technical about it).  When you see a bait here that gets high scores, add it to the wish list until you build up to free shipping.  Stuff like that.

honestly I'd say if that's an issue maybe just put your shopping list somewhere else like google keep or a local joplin file...I have had 0 issues w/ TW personally...compared to another shop (don't feel like pointing fingers right now) that charged me upfront for something that went on backorder and then not refunding me to the point where I had to dispute the charge w/ m y cc company when I eventually cancelled because they still didn't refund me weeks later and stopped responding to my emails (btw I won that dispute) TW has been awesome as far as I'm concerned since they only charge when an item ships and they always seem to do a great job shipping rods...not sure they are obligated to keep every user's wishlist forever either and just as an aside cloud storage isn't free.

Don't get me wrong I am a huge TW fan and have spent more there than I should have, I just wish I could keep a login with them.

So looking into this more it seems they offer both cookie based wishlists and a wishlist based on login. If you don't login and make a wishlist it's going to be stored in your browser cookies and so if you clear your cache or use a different browser or computer it's not going to be there. I would expect a login based wishlist to persist, but could be they are having issues w/ that. In my case I just made a 'baits to try' folder in my browser and then favorite any that I might want to include in my next order and save them as a favorite there. Aside from that might be worth making a new TW account or at the very least changing your password on your existing one and making sure it's a strong password and not the same one that you use for other accounts.
