GOD I LOVE SALES!

[UglyFish27]

Before i start... i have been a long time member... uglyfish. but for some reason, i was not able to sign in with that name, and no matter what i did couldnt get it to work, tried emailing and all that,. no luck... so i started over! lol, enjoy!!

went to BPS today to check out the sale, and use up some gift cards from xmas. decided i would take advantage of the reel trade in and do 2 good things. i donated 2 reels to the trade in, and then spent money to help the economy. arent i a swell guy?! lol.

plan was to get one new reel, and maybe a couple goodies. had my heart set on the quantum energy PT casting reel. but then though, if i spend less ill have more for tackle and goodies lol. so i went with the kinetic PT reel. really nice reel, and for 129 bucks, a cant go wrong deal! add the 25 bucks off and 75 bucks in gift cards and i walk away paying about 40 bucks. not freakin bad eh?? so then i gets to the tackle... well, sales will be the death of us all... i grabbed some strike king crankbaits.... then some berkley powerbaits... then some strike king zeros (love those things!) few packs of hooks and some weights. after gettin that stuff... i just couldnt shake this... craving i had... i still had a reel coupon in my pocket and surely couldnt let it go to waste... so back i goes to the reel department and picked up a new quantum kinetic spinning reel. wife was none to pleased with that one haha. but i have a few reels to sell, so it'll balance out.. or thats what i tell her anyways :|

also picked up the berkley line spooling station. for 20 bucks, it was worth a try! besides, now the wifey cant complain that she has to hold a spool if line again for me!

all in all, had a good time there, grabbed dinner in the mall, got to look around, kids had a blast! great way to spend a sunday!

How much were the Strike Kings?

[Bigfisherman]

Strike Kings are $3.94 I think..

Good Stuff, I went to BPS last friday, couldn't resist the sales either.

 

[UglyFish27]

the strike kings were 3.99 per pack. i could have sworn the price tag on the rach was less then that though... but oh well. they are hands down the best "senko" type bait i have used yet. i love the scent and salt they use, the colors are great but the durability is what sets them apart from other brands. i have used many, and i dont bash other companies, whether i like them or not. but a lot of other brands tend to tear apart after one fish, the SK zeros last for several fish. the material they use if much more "rubbery" and stretchy them other brands, allowing them to last longer.

(im not sponsored by them, so im not paid to say that lol)

I'll have to try a bag. I'm partial to Senkos. They put big fish in the boat but they do rip. If those Zeros put fish in the boat and hold up over time then they are worth a shot. How much are they regular? Anywhere close to the 9 or 10 bucks for Senkos?

[UglyFish27]

nope, not even close, they usually are around 4 bucks regular price, no more then 5 or so bucks

 

[efka]

you're insane. thats some good tackle you got, hope it catches lots of fish.

btw keep us informed on catfish conditions.

 

[UglyFish27]

lol will do efka! im hopefully goin out tomorrow to try. water is still a bit cold for them. once it hits the 50 degree mark, they';ll be in full force, still low to mid 40's rite now,. ill post a report as soon as i get out there.
