What to buy with 15 dollars

ihateforwards · 03-14-07, 09:16 PM

Can anyone tell me what basic must-need lures to buy? Keep in mind I only have 15 dollars to spend because it's still winter and I earn money by mowing my lawn. (and that's in the summer)

texasbasser · 03-14-07, 09:18 PM

i would get 2 or 3 bags or worms, and a cheap spinnerbait, then a crank or 2 and your good.

ihateforwards · 03-14-07, 09:19 PM

Why are worms used so fast? And define cheap for a spinner bait, I have 2.

texasbasser · 03-14-07, 09:24 PM

well, I can use 1 worm and catch maybe 3 bass on it, then I change. It looses scent and the worm just gets all rough, so its not worth trying to fish it again. A "cheap" spinnerbait are the 1 dollar ones at walmart, but if you can try and upgrade to some kind thats around 2.50. walmart should have them around those price range.

ihateforwards · 03-14-07, 09:26 PM

Ah I have a 1.00 one from walmart I bought a year ago, and never used because I don't know how to use it. Anyways, I also have a 2.50 one that is pretty nice, but it's old because my dad gave it to me, so I don't know how old it is. Also, worms have scent? You can still catch bass after the scent is gone though right?

WIUbassin · 03-14-07, 09:31 PM

I agree with the worms except that if you have a limited budget you might run out of them before your done fishing

... No one talks about them much on here but the Rapala minnows catch tons of fish for me and real simple to fish. Not only that but you can catch 100 fish on it and cast it again. Try that with a bag of worms.

ihateforwards · 03-14-07, 09:33 PM

I'm thinking of buying a Rapala Shallow Shad

worms are in a scent when you buy a bag of them, thats why they always smell so bad when you first open it up... yea you can still catch fish on them after most of it is gone but it may cost you that one fish...

ihateforwards · 03-14-07, 09:52 PM

Ah, well, how much are the general bag at walmart?

texasbasser · 03-14-07, 09:58 PM

most would be around 3 bucks, but there are almost always small sales going on for 1 or 2 dollar bags.

ihateforwards · 03-14-07, 10:01 PM

Ah ok, well I hear that crankbaits are around 3-5 dollars, is that true?

texasbasser · 03-14-07, 10:04 PM

yea they are around that price, I buy the Bomber Series, they are a great company.

ihateforwards · 03-14-07, 10:06 PM

Ok, thanks, I'll go buy some this weekend

BassMoJo · 03-14-07, 10:07 PM

BassMoJo · 03-14-07, 10:08 PM

but really the barcodes dont go off the little magnetic strips do so watch out ! lol

texasbasser · 03-14-07, 10:10 PM

or just put a strip of duct tape over it, youll be fine!!

ihateforwards · 03-14-07, 10:16 PM

what magnetic strip? Is it in the barcode area? I always scratched off the bar code but was never caught (only done it once to check something, it was a dollar item)

BassMoJo · 03-14-07, 10:20 PM

No its not on any baits ....its just on line and other things its like a cm think strip... use ur pockets....jeans ...waistline (wear a belt) and dont look nervous ! lol jk

ihateforwards · 03-14-07, 10:21 PM

ah well thanks lol

flamez · 03-15-07, 12:34 AM

saying jk at the end of every sentence isnt gonna let you off the hook for giving this kid ideas its become clear to me that youve done it before

ps. grab a pair of polarized sunglasses and wear um or put them on the rim of your hat and act like you walked in with them lol jk

thebus71h · 03-15-07, 10:17 AM

I know few are joking, but I work retail, and get a great amount of enjoyment busting some little punk trying to steal. And you'd be surprised and how many old folks, and middle aged folks do it as well. Really retarded, and there is nothing more that pisses me off than folks trying to steal. All it does is take money from my pocket, but yet, I could probably break into their house, and steal back the stuff they STOLE, and they'd sue. Weird Weird world.

KenDammit · 03-15-07, 10:21 AM

I think most Wal-Mart stores sell Riverside plastics for 97 cents a pack. May not always be "worms" but you can get imitations of just about any kind of soft plastic that a lot of people use. Beavers, finesse worms, frogs, on and on...the line is made by YUM, I think.

And BassMojo, what are you thinking? Be an ambassador, not an ***.

BassMoJo · 03-15-07, 03:05 PM

lol i was kidding ....cant u see the lol jk haha

KenDammit · 03-15-07, 03:17 PM

"saying jk at the end of every sentence isnt gonna let you off the hook for giving this kid ideas its become clear to me that youve done it before" --flamez

if you WERE kidding, get a better sense of humor. just because you put an LOL and a jk at the end of something doesn't mean what you said has no meaning.

You think I could go to court and say "i was just kidding..didn't you see the jk lol I left on the counter instead of money"
