Bait monkey problems! 2025
angler1 reply :
As I shop for x-mas gifts for my family the bait monkey is on my back about the amount of $ being spent on everyone. He thinks I need to buy some new rods and reels for myself. I don't know if I can hold him off much longer. Can anyone help me?

Just tell the old boy that this is the season to give to others, he'll think your nuts but that's OK.

Just don't go to a Cabelas or a BPS whatever you do.

Dig deep, crab the monkey by the throat. He will listen.

Yep - right on the inside front cover - a great deal - $2k less than the 2009 catalog.
Luckily, I'm not tempted to spend over 20k on a boat though - the little lakes I fish range from 4 to 204 acres so I don't need a 60mph rig ;D I will be getting a canoe within the next few months though - much more in my price range :

When you get to page 226 look at the 2 new colors bandit has out. I think both will produce good in the stained water we have around here. As for the boat I'm torn between an 09 triton 18 explorer maxxed out w/ a 115 or the z7 w/ the 150. The triton is 18,900 w/ dual console and I think the resale value would hold better also. The new bps mag is loaded with good deals too. Good luck on making it through the book without spending a small fortune What part of tn do you live?

Up on the Cumberland plateau a bit north of Crossville.

I do that in WalMart - always need another Roostertail or whatever...

simple. become poor. i know its sad but its the truth! I dug myself into a DEEP DEEP DEEP credit hole by using credit cards for a number of things. the most fun was submitting to the bait monkey and racking up a nice bill along the way. now im slowly on my way out of debt. and ive found that being broke.... i mean dead broke. like only eating ramen and pork & beans and scraping together the money for a fishing liscense poor for about a year fixed the issue all together!
I know its sad. but its true. now, i still splurge once and a while. new line! a new bag of worms here & there...... and my favorite.... new jigs to replace all the ones i keep losing.
but that sure enough is the best cure. starve the bait monkey to death! ;D

I know what you are talking about. At wal-mart alone, I have bought a pack of tube heads, round jig heads, worm hooks, a rapala huskey jerk, bandit crankbait, bag of bleeding tubes, strike king senkos, cotton cordell lipless crankbait, and who knows what else. All of this since Chrismas day. Never bought more than three items in one visit. Oh yeah, I forgot my new $131 pair of native polarized sunglasses. I wonder what happened to all of my Christmas money?

SoFlaBassAddict reply :
Does the bait monkey include plano boxes? I just walked out of BPS with 5 more of them.
And a metric ton of soft plastics... I swear, sometimes I wish that store never opened so close to me.

I don't know - but I just brought home two of them from WalMart !
twitchfish reply :
I wrapped that monkey up, didn't feed him for 4 days and gave him to my mother-in-law as a late NewYears present. Did not think it was possible, but the old bat hates me even more! The ungratefulness of old Eastern Block women. Give her a perfectly good monkey and where's the holiday joy?

PS, anybody here a good, or even average lawyer?
