Ahhhhhh, Mr Ghoti, nice to see you again old friend. (Yes, killer sale going on right now, call me and you can use my access code for a discount!! 
)
Mr Dsaavedra- Young guns,.............. you need to learn some history of this hobby/sport/obsession. When you do, you will know me and know me well. There are basic descriptions of me on these other posts.
Mr Fourbizzle- Yes, you know me. You know my many forms too. Still buying guns or has that been put aside?
Keep that swimbait collection building my west coast Amigo!!
Do ya know where there's any good deals?
fourbizz reply :

Esca Monachus
Tin reply :
Payment sent. I'm putting on my black hoodie, black pants, and fish headz mask and going to pay him a litttle night time visit.
Fourbizzle-You also have a tranquilizer gun and cage I could purchase?
5bass reply :
You cant shoot the baitmonkey, he has a bulletproof vest. And he cant be caged either, he's like Houdini, trust me.
Tin reply :
A think we all need to go see a hypnotist or something... lol

The baitmonkey is a hypnotist....thats how he grabs your wallet.
Tin reply :
5BL are there any rehab facilities in the Northeast where I can seek treatment? Matty 5.0 and I are starting to take weekly trips to the new Bass Pro Shops. I am admitting I have a problem now, but dont want it to become a full blown addiction.

The Bait Monkey is a part of many posts and is credited with all of them. He lives among us. He usually doesn't tell people to buy things, He is more subtle and provides the reasons why. He is suggestive and complimentary, and helps justify our "needs". In some ways the Bait Monkey is quite helpful, alerting BassResource.com members to new products and techniques. He is part of the fabric that binds many elements into what we call fishing. His favorite holiday is Christmas, but unlike Santa Claus, the Bait Monkey works year around. He is especially interested in birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions (like payday!).
Ignore Him if you like, some believe He is harmless.

NOOOOO. He is a real threat. We cannot be so naive. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT just blow off the bait monkey. That will be the end of you!!
Just wait until he also becomes the boat monkey. You think swimbaits are expensive, just wait.....
I think I did manage to cure his poison a bit recently. I actually SOLD one of my boats. ;D ;D
Take that bait monkey!

This is how he works ,...in a nutshell. You think it's a bad thing to be at BPS every weekend, Mr Monkey (notice the term of respect) thinks there are much worse placess a kid could be.
He's the good and the bad in all of us.
5bass reply :
QuoteQuote5BL are there any rehab facilities in the Northeast where I can seek treatment?Probably so but don't waste your money. The only REAL cure is being broke.
QuoteMatty 5.0 and I are starting to take weekly trips to the new Bass Pro Shops.

He really starts squeezing you once you've admitted your problem.....thats probably the reason for your weekly trips to BPS.

I am pretty sure who he is..... :
Kind of like Santa but more like the Devil....

Same here. lol

QuoteThe bait monkey craze may be fun and all
Dude, we can't help it. I have a couple things I am buying on BBC, and a large order of stuff from *** needing to be bought. And, I just found a deal on something in Cabela's bargain cave that I wanted, but can't stand getting less than 5 dollars worth of stuff shipped, so I am probably going to fill up an order there.
I think I may have found a deal on a new trolling motor....
And sadly, none of it is for "collecting." Everything gets used (or at least was intended to get used on purchase day)
roadwarrior reply :
QuoteI really don't see how people spend so much on lures just for the sake of collecting. Everything I have is for a reason. I don't own a lure that I don't use and I don't have more than I need, disregarding soft plastics such as flukes. Only reason I keep about 10 bags of those is because they are hard to find in my area and I go through them like crazy. Other than that though, I only have 2 or 3 of each bait that I use and that is very selected. The bait monkey craze may be fun and all, but I like having money on the side for a much more powerful monkey...the alcohol gorilla.
I'm glade that works for you, but a lot of guys buy stuff that just doesn't get used. As an example, I seem to have a fettish for jerkbaits: Lucky Craft Pointers, Rapala Husky Jerks & X-Rap and Smithwick Rogues. I "might" have fished four, but the rest need a bath!
grimlin reply :
I try to stay away from the alcohol gorilla.I once told my girl when she asked me why i spend so much on tackle i responded "well i could buy cheap hookers and lots of booze and turn into a *******" "or buy lures and go fishing as hobbie i can pass down to my kids."
It might only get used once or twice,but it will get used.Plus i really don't have that much to compair to some of these guys here.

Dear Baitmonkey,
Will you be the one who will tell me if the money minnow or silly rabbit is worth buying? And which one is better? Ive started threads asking about this, but no answers. I dont think anyone else has even tried them.

The numbers are agianst you.
The lures you are asking about are very new on the market. They are hard for many people to find.
The fishing seasons are winding down and fewer people are on the water to use these new lures.
Make sure when you start a thread that you use a good title. It's not a good idea to use the first few words of your first sentance as the title. This is not going to spark someones interest and most people won't even click on your thread.
This might help you get more responses to your questions in the future.

All depends on the angler. I suggest you buy a few of each, in different colors. Use them and report back what you learned.

foul hooked reply :
Do you think a cave man had just one spear? The bait monkey is older than the thumb.
Tin reply :
I'm starting to give in, just cant fend him off. I want another 6'9" MH Carrot Stick and about 500 *** Beaver craws.
HookedinNY reply :
Curse you Bait Monkey! I fought you off for a week now, every night trolling the internet looking at all those lures shiny and new, just knowing they would catch fish. Minimizing the page when my wife comes into the room so as not to get caught ogling that which is not mine. Searching, searching, searching for the best prices as if somehow that would justify spending more money on fishing equipment that I probably won't even be able to use until March. A week with my finger hovering over the "submit order" button several times mustering the strength to fight you off...until today. Now a new agony as I wait for my "fix" to ship to me cursing my new nemesis, UPS. Heaven forbid a "backorder" email arrives. Curse you Bait Monkey it is going to be a long, long winter. :-/
maxke01 reply :
the bait monkey has struck three times within the past week at my home, wish he would just leave me alone and let spring come before he starts bothering me
HookedinNY reply :
I hear ya brother. Until this summer I hadn't fished since I was a kid using worms on a hook. Now I can't believe how weak I have become when facing off with the Bait Monkey. Does he ever go away?

He's scared of my wife. He runs everytime she shows up.
Bankbeater reply :
I think the Rolling Stones wrote a song about him. I think its called "Sympathy For The Baitmonkey".

riverfisher reply :

Big-O reply :
Tis the season to decorate your tree with the assorted colors of all of those different baits you bought last year and did'nt use. Makes a great conversation piece when the family comes by on Christmas Day and maybe they will help you add to your collection next year.
Oh NO! Now the Bait Monkey has got them and they don't even fish, He is a sly Devil!
HookedinNY reply :
Credit card.....online ordering.....BAIT MONKEY = Big Trouble.
Well I got tired of looking at those LC and Megabass lures so I got busy and ordered some....I hope I get to the mailbox first the day the bill for this arrives.
It's a conspiracy. Yep, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!
guitarkid reply :
the only thing that got decorated was the inside of the ol tacklebox. forget the whole jolly thing. tis the season to succomb to the baitmonkey.
to try and fend him off try shopping with someone who does not fish. and stay off the internet.
Oscar O. reply :
It would be hard to stay off the internet with this site being here in the first place! I always find myself looking up different products and clicking on all sorts of links in different posts!
I just can't help it!!! ;D
Alpster reply :
I don't really need to buy any new fishing stuff. I have been collecting fishing gear for 35 years and I'm not addicted yet! I can quit any time I want! I don't have to have it, I don't really need it, it's just really nice......you know what I mean....... ;D
