i do 95% of my tackle shopping at local Dick's or online through Cabelas....

yes, Cabelas....i have been loyal to them for over 30 years...

BUT... we are headin' south Friday and i will be goin to BPS...

what are some of their brand stuff that is worth gettin..

such as... their version of trick worm.....BPS "floatin' worm"??

their spinner baits??  tubes??  etc...

suggestions please..... the Bait Monkey will be let out....  

I'd pick up some of their spinnerbaits and a bunch of treble hooks if you need them. The BPS treble hooks I buy are (I think) VMC hooks with different labels (peel the label off and you will see the VMC logo)...

while your in the south, go to Academy, much cheaper on most things, but it doesnt have the HUGE selection like BPS.  Good luck finding the right equipment and write a review on the equipment you get!  

I like their Enticer football jigs.  Other oddball items, like lure wraps, reel covers represent decent values.  Their XPS Fluorocarbon is another good product.  I used their Bionic Blades for years, not the greatest, but when on sale, they are great value.

I have used BPS Excel mono line for many years. I used to use it for many years for every app. Recently I use it for cranks and spinnerbaits. It's really darn good stuff. I really like the Lazer Eye Premier spinnerbaits (I thinks it called premier it has red hooks and a long tailed skirt, and more than the reg lazer eye). Many of their plastics are good...I use their tubes. Don't care for the Stick-Os though.

Their XPS Fluorocarbon is another good product.

I'll second that one! Love their fluro!!!

I have also had success with the BPS XPS Extreme Crank and Static Shad crankbaits and the Lazer Eye Series spinnerbaits.

I'll second the Enticer jigs - good for the $$$'s

I really like the xps slimdog walker:

The shallow square billed cranks are great too and you don't have to worry much about losing them.Great for running through brush!

I'm also a fan of their XPS Florocarbon line. If your looking for a crankbaitrod their Crankin' stick is good value when they are sale for app 40$. Also the RC 0.5,  RC 1.5 & RC 2.5 are fantastic shallow running square bill cranks they normally run app 15$ each but usually will have them on sale a couple of times a year for $ 9.99.

NOTHING

Absolutely nothing. I do most of my bizz with

BPS locally, but I don't buy ANYTHING in-house.

Every BPS product is "least cost".  I don't find any

"value" in BPS branded merchandise.

My favorite jerkbaits! http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_74323____SearchResults I also like their XPS fluoro

The tender tubes are my favorite product.  The single color tubes are the best, soft, salty, and great tail action.  I also like the XPS weedless tube jigs, the XPS series of cranks, and the lasereye spinnerbaits.  I really like the cranks for the price, especially the deep-divers.  I really like the action and color selection.

I can't believe I forgot to mention the BPS Magnum Flippin Tubes!!! Thanks for the reminder BRR!

Their senko knock-offs are actually really good. The stik-o i think they're called. I've always caught just as many fish on them as i have real senkos. Not as cheap as ***'s but they're still cheaper than senkos. I also like their spinnerbaits

I like the lazer eye spinner baits, and the 6" stik-o.  I have excellent luck with their spinners this year.

X2 On the BPS Floro

thanks for all the suggestions... keepem comin'

thursday is payday....and i'll be headin' out fri. a.m.   8-)

RW... you serious?  nothin' BPS brand?  i can't afford the high end stuff like Lucky Craft....

i can't afford the high end stuff like Lucky Craft....

The exact reason for me also. I buy what I can afford and I can afford BPS stuff. They look awesome to me. I have a Slimdog that I've torn them up with. I can't imagine a Sammy being any better.

...And you are absolutely correct.

I have 3 bps Extreme reels, 2 Pro Qualifier reels, 4 Extreme rods, 1 pro Qualifier rod, a couple of tackle bags, 12 rod socks, and about 10 pounds of bps plastics (mostly stick-os). I find much of their stuff to be a very good value. Just my .02

Their XPS Fluorocarbon is another good product.

I'll second that one! Love their fluro!!!

I have also had success with the BPS XPS Extreme Crank and Static Shad crankbaits and the Lazer Eye Series spinnerbaits.

I also back up XPS flourocarbon.  But you should also pick up their XPS mono becuase it's very, very cheap

Oh yeah almost forgot don't forget to pick up some topwater lures.  I like BPS's topwater lures especially the blue back/chrome or black back/chrome

BPS has a glass rattle that is shaped like a round nose bullet. It's the 7 mm rattle. It will fit snug in many tubes, slide it right up to the head. If you use net bait paca or baby paca craws, that rattle will fit inside and will call fish in from long distances.

you really should give their ENTICER SERIES FOOTBALL HEAD JIGS a try , by far the best value in jigs .......   8-)
