I'm new here,

What is the bait monkey?

Is it something I should be afraid of? :-/

GobbleDog reply :

I'm old here, and I don't know either. (i'm a little slow) :-/

KU_Bassmaster. reply :

The little voice in your head that tells you to .............. BUY, BUY, BUY, BUY. It convinces you that you NEED all this fishing stuff. Every fisherman has it in them.

KU_Bassmaster. reply :

And yes, you should be afraid. He is known for going absolutely nuts when he is out of his cage.

Oh, that's what the bait monkey is. Thanks for the clarification. And by the way, I understand bait-monkeyese very well and didn't even know it ;D. He's always tricking me into buying that stuff I NEED!

Bankbeater reply :

It is like an addiction. Once you see something new on the company web page, you cannot stop thinking about it. The Baitmonkey just keeps gnawing at you until you make that purchase.

That's him. You see how tricky he is. He has been with you all along and you didn't even know it. Oh Oh, you just woke him up.

FALCON reply :

I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN CATCH THAT DREADED DISEASE "FISHING POX" FROM THE BAIT MONKEY.

I HAVE A SEVERE CASE RIGHT NOW AND IT'S ONLY DECEMBER. I HAVE UNTIL APRIL BEFORE I CAN CURE IT.

guest reply :

the bait monkey lives in our heads Its the voice that when your at Cabelas and you already have enough plastics to coat the world and it tells you to buy another tackle box to fit the next 20 bags of sluggos worms and lizards you NEED to buy now Or that rod and reel thats on sale and a new rack to put it on and your car insurance is due

BAD MONKEY ;D : :-X ;D

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Capt. G- You can spank that monkey if you please but guess what..........he likes it, grips on even stronger and starts whispering in your ear, "Hey you can get bass pro points if you apply for a bass pro visa, snicker , snicker,he he"

Top reply :

yeah the Bait Monkey will get you good.... He just kicked my butt.... its terrible. My wife let me buy my own Christmas present so I have an invoice sitting right here for 288.18 and that was with free shipping and a 5% discount *sigh* It placed the order the 12th and I have been checking every couple of hours since then to see the "progress" of my order... just today it got shipped Now I have to wait for UPS to update so I can figure out when my new pole and reel will be delivered..

cajun1977. reply :

dont even think about running and hiding from the monkey either that little sucker hide in my suitcase and followed me all the way to japan be afraid be very afraid

Capt. George reply :

Real bad now that you can get anything on line....I'm afraid I'm gonna wear myself out...

Charlie Moore? There was an old timer in R.I. known for his rods, I believe his name was Charlie Murat?? remember or are you also toooooooo young?

Also a character that was kind of adopted by Murat found his way to the Cape from R.I. Bobby (can't remember last name) known as Top Knot :...totally nuts.

First time I met him on Cape told I was going to rip his wooden leg off and beat him with it >...he was raving, actually scared me...funny man on the beach!

Maybe I'll go back to "spanking the monkey" Did you know there is still a law on the books that allows residents of Massachusetts to shoot anyone trying to cross the border, at night, from R.I. No kidding, it was there up until a few years ago ...

Ahh, our founding fathers had the right idea...Wish I could get to Federal Hill right now for some good bread and sausage... later george

He didn 't follow you all the way to Japan............ he lives there ! Like a lamb on it 's way to the slaughter house, that how I can describe that trip to Japan.

guest reply :

Here is an example of the bait monkey at work. I told my kids who are adults that I expect a high quality bass lure as a presant for every gift giving holiday. I don't want no stinkin ties, or boots, or shirts, or nuttin but BASS LURES - GET IT ?????

cajun1977. reply :

raul you are correct

Raul reply :

Just let me give an example on how terrible the BaitMonkey is:

My daughter is 1 year old so she needs anywhere from 2-4 disposable daipers every day, me spending good bucks in something my kid is going to pee and dump on and then that goes to the trash can ? no way no how; Darling, get those cheap ones ! I need the extra money for lures.

Man, that 's sad !

Bait Monkey has no scrupples. viscous littl eanimal with no known cure. Yes be very afraid. Only thing I fear more is my wife after a trip to BPS.

Peter E. reply :

I have developed a close relation ship to the bait monkey and so far I am always broke and yet happy.

GobbleDog reply :

I'm on the verge of ordering $100 worth of lures on-line. Sadly, I don't need any of em. I just found a bunch of cool looking bug lures that would make a nice addition to my collection.

My name is GobbleDog... and I'm a lure buy'n fishaholic. :-[

Raul reply :

Saying you don 't need them is absurd, you do need them......for your collection, so it ends up being the same, you need them.

Overwhelming logic don 't you think ?

Matt Fly reply :

Just remember, this is my year to claim the BaitMonkey as my dependant on Income Taxes.

roadwarrior reply :

Well, it kinda works like this:

You were going to budget $200 for the shopping trip, which is really about $185 plus tax. But since you now know how to go online you can save sales tax and shipping, plus the gas you were going to use to get back and forth. So, here's how the math works:

$200 you were going to spend anyway

15 you saved on tax

15 you saved on shipping

20 for that 10% coupon

10 for your 5% bonus points

20 for the gas you saved

50 you saved because a couple of things were on sale

$330 Total spent, but you "saved" $130 or 39%

Now, that's a deal and that is exactly how the Bait Monkey works. And remember, the more you spend, the more you save!

Merry Christmas!

I'm sorry I told you about that and put that little monkey of temptation on your shoulder.

I realize now he was speaking to you through me.

Be very careful.

paparock reply :

One of my tackle boxes weighs 67 pounds. The bait monkey doesn't bother me

Kana reply :

santamonkey gave me money via my wife for goodies this year. i was controlled, bought what i planned on... then he got me (when i though i had him tamed with nice well though out purchases) i needed new reel covers, gycb 6.5 in kut-tail worms (thanks RW), some vibration baits (they finally had all colors in all sizes so i picked up one of each) new gloves, two new sdrive big baits from evergreen INTL. and lots of odds and ends that i was running low on. and a new ZPI handle and daiwa natural cork knobs for my millionaire. and picked up some megabass topwaters for my seabass ventures. Then $500 later im good. well thats till tomorrow when i get more money from a side job, to finish the monkey off for this month. ouch im so tired......
