fishing user avatarunderwraps1 reply : 

someone, please tell me what or who he is.


fishing user avatarSam reply : 

He sneaks around, like The Shadow, and tells you to buy more and more fishing stuff.

You cannot escape him.

He is all around everyone, especially when you go into tackle or sporting goods stores.  ;D   ;D  


fishing user avatarQuitlimpin reply : 

His mystery is only exceeded by his power.  The only known enemy of the baitmonkey is the Largemouth Wife.


fishing user avatarKoop reply : 

He lurks around and uses the plastic card with the big bass on it thats tucked in your wallet.

He's a dumb, made up character whom people blame their spending habits on.  I'm probably one of the few people on BR that thinks that he is a stupid fictional character.  Just my .02c   :)

He comes in many forms, today he was in the form of a fishing buddy who said he had a G loomis drop shot rod, never used, which could be bought for 130 bucks, I have 2 drop shot rods, do I REALLY need another one..... no, but I bought it anyway, at that price who wouldn't?

The bait monkey has been eating all your cookies?  ;)


fishing user avatarFish Chris reply : 

If people want to make up a fictional character, to explain their habit of spending too much on fishing tackle, that's all fine by me.

I'm just not the one.

I swear I could walk all the way through a BPS or a Cabelas,  with $1000 in my wallet, and not spend a penny. I think I have everything I need right now. Oh wait... maybe a package of splitshots.

And it's "NOT" that I already have a warehouse full of fishing tackle either. On the contrary, I've throw away so much old crap that I will never use, in the last few years, you wouldn't believe it.

Heck, just last week I was thinking about going through my tackle and throwing away another 25% of it.

To say, I "don't need" anymore fishing tackle would not explain it properly > because in fact, "I don't even WANT any more fishing tackle". The only thing an abundance of fishing tackle does for me, is get in my way, make my decisions more difficult, make fishing not as fun, and probably, makes me not quite as effective on the water.

Peace,

Fish


fishing user avatarFishing Rhino reply : 

Folks, some of ya really have to lighten up a bit.

Sorry, the devil made me say that (do it).

The powers that be on this forum considered the topic important enough to merit a place on the FAQ list.

Jeez, the next thing you know Jiminy Cricket never sat on Pinocchio's shoulder whispering in his ear, since as a puppet, he had no conscience.

But hey, if you want to belittle those who make light of their propensity to spend money, and yes perhaps too much money, on fishing gear, by blaming it on the bait monkey, it's all good.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Geez....

The Bait Monkey is just for fun...If you don't like the little fellow,

move on to another thread.

fishing user avatarKYntucky Warmouth reply : 

He created ebay and runs the sales at Tackle Warehouse...and I think Brent works for him as well.

He asked us what it was, we told him. We all have different opinions. Easy as that :)

roadwarrior, you just gave yourself away! how did you post that many times on the baitmonkey profile? I knew baitmonkey was one of you moderators...


fishing user avatarFish Chris reply : 

Hey now, just as a disclaimer, I wasn't trying to belittle anyone who likes to buy a lot of tackle. To each his own.

My post was from a purely personal standpoint.

I'm just saying, new tackle doesn't excite me much, but big fish do !  :)

Peace,

Fish

Same here.

Hate wasting my time in a tackle shop unless I'm looking for something specific.


fishing user avatarBass_Stomper reply : 

Not me, I love the little guy. I enjoy trying new baits, in new ways ALL the time. I'm just not content with "Good Enough". I keep that little monkey close by at ALL times, just in case.

Plus, he tucks me in at night.

I understand where you guys are coming from, but for a lot of us,

we like collecting lures. Most of what I own, 75-95% of my lures,

have only been wet once- testing in the pool. Heck, I hate the Live

Pointer, but BPS had them on sale sometime ago so I bought two

more!   :D


fishing user avatarBusy reply : 

I generally don't spend much at all on fishing, but yesterday was my birthday and may parents happened to give me a nice giftcard to Cabela's.  I didn't have anything else to get so I spent it all on tackle.  Even got a new rod and BC.  I guess I did give in to the baitmonkey a little there, lol.  In general though, I say stay far away from the baitmonkey.

I found if you are broke he stays by your side, he comforts you as you go through a hard time. But anytime you get any money he says "You should treat yourself to this new rod, it looks really cool" and then you gotta buy it.
