Title: Spent a bit of money...
Post by: tip-uptwo on Oct 14, 2006, 08:32 AM
 :-\ Bought a bit(Aheeeemmmm) of ice gear last week...

Here is all the new gear I have purchased over the summer and fall...I still have to add all my gear from last year( which is double ) to these boxes including all of my teardrops and small ice jigs :P....The life of a hardwater addict  8) My whole collection consits of 100+ Northland tackle Jigs and spoons :o...and hundreds of Misc. small jigs...I think I am ready for first ice. Now I just need a few Custom Jigs and Spins tackle kits to top it off!

Don't we all FK ??

CNY Farmer,

Theres not as much as it looks..well ;D enough.....Different applications for different species and water body's...You fish soft water...right? You can never have too much stuff...

By the way, it will get used ;) When fishing on the Quebec side I can use up to 5 lines....Not that it matters.

Wow thats a lot of stuff, either you must make some good allowance money, or you working at subway now with BBR?

With the cost of all those jigs, you could have bought a boat! But being so picky and sneezing and laughing at other peoples rides, I guess youll just stay in your 12 footer for now!

Cya on the ice!

You mean 14 footer ;)

For what it's worth Ian, Astro boats are crap. Allowance? You have used that one already :o Why make stupid remarks about people you don't even know..or think you know? Your not funny at all dude.

Oh ya, by the way

Yeah your right there Tipup Two maybe even quadrupled  just this year alone and no I don't dare take a pic of my latest and greatest purchases as somebody might turn me into the the nearest psych ward and that just wouldn't be right with ice season awaiting at the door . Just as a hint though it's 12 new ice rods alone let alone jigs and big ticket items where one was just not enough . LOL ;D

And you two Canucks rattling your sabres before ice is on just relax and keep the petty nonsense out of it . OK  ? ;) We're Iceshantyers first and foremost . ;) ;D

I was looking at a Snow Bear this afternoon and I figured that if I bought it I might have to live in it after the divorce and it isn't that roomy.  :woot: It was tempting, but very hard to justify.  ;D >:D

That's nothing compared to what Trapperdirk usually picks up. That would be what he has in his hands after five minutes in the tackle shop............... :-X :-X

You can purchase them pretty cheap, usually no more that a few bucks...The bigger ones cost about $5. A great use for them as some of them have been sitting in the basement for a few years...

With the stickers you can also get some tossed in with most bigger purchases, I know I got some vex stickers with my vex, and whenever I place a marmish order I always ask for a sticker or two, and they gladly throw them in.

Title: Re: Spent a bit of money...
Post by: TGF on Oct 17, 2006, 07:58 PM
Yeah those Marmish guys are quite generous ;D

Nice gear T-up2

Don't worry, on another site a guy posted that he had $25,000 worth of musky crankbaits.   :o

Tight lines.

I thought I was bad, I only have about $1,500 in musky baits.

I bought eight pairs of wool socks, a few plastics, and some lead jig heads. That ought to do it.

I am looking at purchasing the new Frabill "prowler" flip over shanty.  I like those new tracks, along with the built in rod holder.  Now we just need some ice here in Northern Wisconsin.
