If any of you fishers wants to load up on some tackle/gear, let me know...I fished Bass Tournaments for years, sold my boat a couple seasons ago & haven't gone out much since.
Got shelves & shelves full of plastics (about a zillion Brush Hogs, good assortment of 7-10" worms, lots of Stanley Ribbits, and some 'rare' stuff like Maverick Bugly's), high end crankbaits (Lucky Craft, Mega Bass, etc), spinnerbaits, jigs (FB & Finesse), etc...may even part with some of my rods reels...I'll prolly hang on to my Revo's & Carrot Sticks, but most of the rest would be up for grabs I reckon.
Plastics & non premium lures I'll make you a deal on...Rods Reels, I'd sell cheaper than eBay to GE'ers if interested, just PM me (I live in NKC btw)
KC area?
Mainly interested in the different jigs and spinner baits, possibly some of the plastics.
What kind of poles/reels? Never been a fan of bait casters but if you have some spinning reels I might be interested since my 2 good ones vanished a couple months ago(See major scam thread).
What kind of price range are we talking for a reel/pole combo? Not interested in dropping a couple hundred on the fancy shmancy shimano stuff but if its good quality I am willing to pay UP TO $50 for a reel/pole combo.
Sorry, I don't have any spinning stuff (except a couple of shitty ones I keep for crappie fishing), everything in my bass arsenal was baitcaster...I was like you for a long time...take the time & learn the baitcaster...you will look back on spinning gear with amazement & disgust at how long you fished that way once you make the switch.
Best tip I ever got...only put about 25-50yds of line on the baitcaster to start...that way, when you backlash it, you aren't picking out a total birds nest.
