to the baitmonkey that is.

The latest twist in the basstrix purchasing game is that USAC proshop will only sell the basstrix to you if you buy the same dollar amount in other products.  I actually spoke to a gent there who was very nice and explained that the ebayers were always getting through and buying up alot of lures then re-selling at 3 times the price.

He said this way the faithful USACproshop customer could buy some of these baits when placing a regular order.

Made sense to me.  It also made it possible to get through to them on the phone.

So, I have 5 packs of the six inch paddle tails coming (cannot specify color) along with  (drumroll please)  

A betencourt baits real fish floating bluegill

somebody call Baitaddicts Anonymous.    

Hi......my name is avid and I'm a baitaddict............ :-/

Hello , Avid  

SCORE!!!  You finally found some paddle tails.  Post pics of the lunker that is in the near future.

Why don't THEY just sell all their Basstrix stuff through eBay?   That would instantly solve that problem - and they would profit the most, instead of the guys trying to control the "Basstrix Market."   ;D

thats a cool little lure! Good luck with it and the new basstrix baits.

Bait monkey says"you need one of those blugill lures too". Nice one man. Good luck with it.For the basstrix....I am hoping that the hype dies down soon so I could get some somewhere.I wont pursue it until it does.I remember seeing 40+dollar chatterbaits on ebay.Now loook at it.

I think I would just use a live bluegill for bait.  That thing looks pretty incredible.

Welcome to the club Avid.  The first step is admitting you have an addiction.  The next step is learning how to perfect your addiction!  Just ask Raul....he's really perfected the art and spends his money on exotic Japanese baits! ;D

Bettencourt makes a real nice bait, you should take a look at his real hair rat.   I don't understand what all the fuss is about, I think other web sites sell Nathan baits but I could be wrong.  He use to sell his baits directly from his own web site.  I haven't looked at in several months though.
