Title: Buying more gear?
Post by: Downthehole on January 13, 2017, 06:37:48 AM

Is anyone considering buying more gear? Something may be happenening to me. With the disappointing season so far I'm thinking no more gear until we get ice again...

Always in the market for new gear. Thinking of trying bass proshops artificial jigging rapalas. Look the same but half the price.

I'm always looking for new gear. Placing an order this weekend for a bunch of ice and soft water lures. Replacing a couple lost ones and trying out some new stuff. You have to buy your gear ahead of time Andy that way you have it already when it's time to fish.

Yeah true - the buzz of buying gear has reduced for me with no ice to fish it on...

Holehopper, I was thinking of ordering one of the bucket organizers myself. Please post if it is worth buying. Thanks.

G the reviews said there was some slippage issues if you put a lot of weight in it,but the guys said it is easily modified by adding a few small nuts and bolts through it and the bucket,............ :)
