Title: Gary Yamamoto could retire
Post by: TheLefthander on April 13, 2012, 07:22:15 AM
on his earnings from me alone while I'm waiting impatiently for April 28. Name a size or color of Senko, I've bought it. The folks at Gander Mountain, MC Sports, Dunhams, Bass Pro Shops, and I are on a first-name basis. Somebody please stop me! Is there a 12-step program for compulsive tackle buyers?
Oh wait, I don't have any Alabama Rigs yet. Never mind.

LOL!!  You are not alone.

I've got half a dozen A-rigs and dozens of baits to throw on them, and have only used one.  We threw it down at Table Rock Lake last week and actually caught fish.  I even stopped at Bass Pro in Springfield, MO (the first and biggest Bass Pro Shop) and bought a 7'6" BPS Crankin Stick to throw it on.  Matched with a Shimano Curado it worked great.

As for Senkos... I save some money and catch as many fish using Nemesis Baits Sickos.  I use his A-Rigs too.  Great stuff.

Waterfoul,
Which cranking stick did you get and how did it perform? Would you recommend it?

I have the MH 7'6" telescoping Crankin Stick.  I am at work so I don't have the model number handy.  And yes, it works great.  I have no problem casting to max distance and it handled the fish we caught with little effort.  I was running the Nemesis A-rig with 3/8ths oz ball head jigs and Reaction Innovations Little Dippers.

Retirement is great, but if I keep buying tackleboxes and filling them up, I may have to go back to work. My wife says I can't possibly use all the crankbaits, worms, hooks, rods, reels, and line I've bought...She just doesn't understand.

I'm working and the bride doesn't understand. They never will.

I want to take the tackle out of my boat, lay it all out, and re-organize it back in my plano's.  But that is going to have to be a covert operation.  Last time I got caught I recieved a lecture every time I left the house. "Dont buy any more fishing stuff...blah, blah, blah!" ;)

Wow!  Sucks to be you guys. I am very fortunate. My wife doesn't say a word to me about spending money on fishing. She says she's just happy that I'm not in the bars.

As far as plastics go, I have a tub in my boat that is full of Strike King Zero's,it weighs 8 pounds. That is my favorite plastic.
