Need ideas for an order.

npauls · #1 01-03-2011, 04:15 PM

Hey guys/gals:

I have a bass pro card that I got for christmas and I can only think of a couple things to order with it so far. I am trying to think of open water stuff since my ice fishing season is likely pretty much done for this year and I need more stuff for my boat.

Right now I have 2 transducer mounting plates, a egg and worm weight kit for trolling and chucking baits at bass when I head to BC. I also have a pack of every size worm/top water bass style hooks for chucking stuff at bass and pike this summer. I can't think of what else to order.

I need to get a couple scotty rod holder bases for the boat but can get them cheaper in lethbridge then from bass pro. I also need to get a couple more anchor cleats which are cheaper here to.

I have a good net, 5-6 good life jackets, enough rods to start a guiding service, plenty of walleye and pike gear, and all kinds of electronics so I need some ideas on what else I should look into ordering. I have $100 on the card and can use my credit card for a bit if it is over by a bit.

basspro has some great clothing so your sexy on the water

sounds like your good to go to me. try out some fly fishing gear then you got it all!

Bass Pro will do a price match for your rod holders. How about a drift sock for those windy days.

npauls · #5 01-03-2011, 05:05 PM

I have quite a bit of fishing clothing also.

My fly fishing gear is plumb full already. I have 2 pairs of waders, a vest completely packed with 6 fly boxes that are all stuffed and enough fly rods to take a group of guys out. I rarely use any of it anymore since I bought a walleye boat.

I also already have a good drift sock that I rarely use.

Like I said I have pretty much everything I can think of. I may just have to order some stuff to key in on bass. I am hoping to make it out to BC a few times this summer to hunt them down just to change things up.

give it away for a prize to a local kids derby

Trey · #7 01-03-2011, 05:15 PM

get a smoker for your catch, or you can sell me some used gear cheap, im understocked

npauls · #8 01-03-2011, 05:29 PM

I don't want to give it away because I have a soon to be 1 year old son and a 1.5 year old nephew that I will be taking out in the next few years. I can see those 2 little rug rats being pretty hard on gear so I want to make sure I have stuff for them to learn on.

As for a smoker I have one sitting in my garage that my grandpa gave me this summer that I have never tried to use. I am not a fish eater but would be more then willing to smoke fish for my wife or my friends.

How about a turkey deep fryer? You can also do your fish in it. I bought one for xmas for myself for only $40. Maybe top it off with some of the new Rapala's? There's so many new versions to try outnow.

Maybe some cheapy spincaster combos for the little guys. A few lures you wouldnt mind losing too! One reccomendation i have for fishing with my little cousins, get a SHORT rod, when they are small they need small rods or someone will get an eye poked out

Other than that, splurge on some rapalas!

npauls · #11 01-03-2011, 06:40 PM

I already have some smaller rod set ups for them. Probably 4 a piece right now haha.

As for rapalas and other cranks. I have a bunch that are rarely used already. I am just not much of a crank bait fisherman. I really like jigging and top water stuff. I probably have 2 grand worth of jigs or better and have quite a few top water baits also.

I do have a list started of things that I have looked at on bass pros website so far. Just some stuff that I can use for walleye, bass, and pike depending on where I am fishing. I have only bass fished once so far but I plan on getting into more now that I have tried it.

Thanks for the suggestions so far and keep them coming.
