my one and only bait monkey payment
Off today from work, and finally bit the bullet and paid the Bait Monkey my one and only payment for the preseason. With shipping I'm officially $275 lighter in my wallet. It's all plastics, line, and tackle. Not one hard lure in the lot. This stuff sure does add up fast.

Went through my crankbaits and I could use a few more backups just in case, but I can get them at Dicks locally when they finish their restock.

Nice! Sounds like you had a good time! How many plastics did you get?

The baitmonkey has definately hit me hard, and it's only almost february.
A new Skeet Reese Revo, a small $80 dollar shoopping spree at BPS, which was 98% crankbaits, a new rod for the Reese (have'nt picked one out yet), some plastics, and not to mention, all the materials for making my jigs. Man, i'm gonna need about 4 jobs to deal with the monkey this spring. BB

Update: Just thought of two items I left off my list and online BPS puchase. So I had to start another list. I'm hoping that that's it until the season actually starts. Comparing my two lists to what's needed in my tackle bag both replacement and new. This should do it with some extras. I've even bought a new Banana boat SP50 Sports suntan lotion.
I'm now starting phase 2 of my off season routine; Tearing down, cleaning and lubing, my reels. Working the late grave yard shift tonight at my store to have the floor repaired, so just might start today.

I guess you spoke too soon. The monkey has the ability to make you forget one thing at the store. Then guess, what... yep, you have to go back. evil little SOB, Ain't he.

I've had so many packages coming to the house this off season the wife cant even keep up anymore. It started innocent enough. A new reel (revo), then a rod (a gold carrot stix and damn what a rod) and a few baits. Well some of the baits were not in stock so they backordered them. In the mean time I needed some line, low needed some line, I had to have a wiggle wog, the kid needed a reel, I needed some tru tungsten swimbaits, then ragetails.
At this point I've just completely "shock and awe'd" the wife into believing that everything that keeps showing up was part of that first origional order. |

Just reread my BPS confirmation. Looks like 3 out of the 4 Anaconda worms, the sinker pegs, & some of the Space Monkeys are out of stock. This is the 1st time I've actually had to deal with out of stocks. While I know that they don't charge your credit card till they ship, I paid for all my purchases with gift cards that I bought at my store. So what happens if the items aren't in stock within the 30 days they ask for to restock then ship?

Iīd cancel them, it may take 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months before those backorder items are shipped to you, if after a certain period of time the items arenīt shipped you get credit for them.

I emailed Customer service and asked exactly what happens after the 30 days they ask for to replenish the back ordered merchandise. Got an auto generated email back saying a real person would respond within 24 hours. I'm assuming that since I paid for them with BPS gift cards, then I'll end up with credit towards one of the cards. On the other hand all the items except the sinker stops are the hot new Rage series from Strike King. I can't imagine that they would allow their bins to be empty heading into the season as that must be their 2nd busiest time after Christmas.

I got a email from a real person at customer service. All the Strike King Anacondas are due in by the middle of Feb. If they don't come in by the end of Feb I can cancel them and they will issue me another gift card. Which is something I don't need nor want. I bought the gift cards for cash so I didn't have to use one of our credit cards. That's the last time I'll go that route, as I never thought about out of stocks and back orders. While the cost of the back orders is onLY $35, I can't use the card any other place to get the Anacondas I want, so I'll have to spend more money and just keep the gift card for another use.
Some how I think that all of this is the work of that diabolical creature: THE BAIT MONKEY
