Super User firefightn15 Posted January 16, 2009 Super User Share Posted January 16, 2009 Unfortunatley, I sit at my desk doing paperwork, and going back and forth between BR, E-bay, and fishing sites. Bait Monkey never seems to wait for sales either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Craft Man Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I love my monkey... Without him i wouldnt have about 3 grand into fishing gear in about 2 years.... 3 Grand in the last two years? I wish I got off that lucky. I went to upgrade one rod to a G Loomis and that's where the trouble started. 16 G Loomis Rods later (with matching high end reels), a new boat, quadrupled tackle possession, and more. It never ends... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcutta Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Deffinition of the Bait Monkey - A demonic little creature , that will make you spend every last dime you have , on lures , line , etc..... That you do not necesarily need , At times he WILL get you in TROUBLE with your WIFE/GF . HE is not an easy adversary to git rid of . In order to get rid of the Bait Monkey , You must quit fishing and find another hobby . THERE IS NO OTHER CURE . What! Quit your hobby and find another! Gee, thats how I got here. I sold my hot rod and all my mag wheels and spare parts. I took the money and >$1,500boat $2,100trolling motor,depth finders,seats,carpet @1,600 Rods,Reels and tackle.Ive been fishing 3 years now and I think Ive got every size,color,and shape of soft plastic available.Oh yes,the monkey is alive and well!

Super User eyedabassman Posted January 18, 2009 Super User Share Posted January 18, 2009 Here's my bait monkey, his name is 'Rasta' He can tie polomar knots and clinch knots, he can sharpen hooks, and he's pretty darn good at retrieving jigs and crankbaits that I've lost. I didn't think monkeys could swim, so he's obviously a very dedicated bait monkey. There must be twins because I have the same looking monkey! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW its also hard feeding the bait monkey when you are 48, don't live with your parents, have a low paying job, need to pay 20% of all your medical expenses, dress like a homeless guy gave you his hand-me-downs, own a car that breaks down every thursday, lives in a town that raises its taxes twice a year, etc, etc, etc. But we all still do it. Jump on the bandwagon and be happy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted May 23, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted May 23, 2017 He got me Saturday when I bought my wife a new spinning set up. I really like it and want one too. A wise man once said to me "it's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask permission". Any truth to this? ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Deleted account Posted March 27, 2018 Super User Share Posted March 27, 2018 Mine is a Costa Rican howler named Puro. He doesn't care that I own more tackle than a dozen guys could use in a lifetime, or that I know I have several of that thing in the shopping cart buried somewhere in the garage, or even that I'm probably getting some for Xmas, It's feeding time!

Masaccio Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Everybody needs at least one monkey in their life. Not all monkeys are created equal. The Bait Monkey is one of the coolest!! You buy stuff in the moment that you think you gotta have. Then short term you say, "You moron, that's the last thing you needed." Fast forward a few months, or a year or two. You're reading about a technique you like and the recommended baits/tackle. And you already have it! Attaboy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Darth-Baiter Posted March 5 Super User Share Posted March 5 I’m going to Oklahoma next month to meet brother and friends. I just fly in with my gear and walk into their camp. The are gracious enough to plan food and stuff. I bought a handful of JON topwaters to hand out as gifts. While I was shopping the bait monkey whispered, “hey toy may as well maximize on your free shipping…” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king fisher Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 The Bait Monkey is an S.O.B. that is also my best friend. My Mother always told me to choose my friends wisely. I was stubborn and rarely listened to good advice. If I had listened I would be wealthy, but wouldn't own a priceless, lifetime, treasure box of lures.
