Cabelas color panning underwater camera was a big mistake. Trading that puppy in on a marcum625

Mine was the "EasyBite" Ice fishing bobber, but luckily I only lost $10 on the deal

A $35 spud bar. Ended up on the bottom of the lake.

My Marcum V620 camera, unfortunately. Works great, just doesn't work for the kind of fishing I do mostly, lake trout. The goal this year was "Catch Walleye", whatever it took! Haven't caught a one.....

My worst purchase was my Cabelas Inferno boots. My old pac-boots are much warmer and more comfortable.

Never make bad purchases. I always research very very good before i buy cause i want the most for the money that i'm willing to pay.

3 day old sandwich that was stuck in the couch, it still hurts to breathe and type these words, I think I will order a tab by hitting the tab button on the keyboard.

10 bucks a dozen for "pike bait" that was 4 inches long

None, as far as my wife knows.

I think this is the worst purchase, but I my never know since I still have not received the order after 32 days. Stay away from these clowns:

A dozen walleye suckers from a small bait shop I tried, they were all dead by the time I got to the lake.

Although it wasn't this year (more like 15), I still can't help but think back to a particular engagement ring.........

Hagigun · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 24, 2011, 02:38 PM »

Strikemaster Electra Auger.

First time out it drilled 8 holes and went dead. I did lots of research and most reviews claimed "10-15 holes and still going".

It worked, it was light, but did not do what i needed it to do. It was promtly returned and I upgraded to the Jiffy Pro4. Great decision. Heavier, but will cut all day (about 70 holes) on 1 can.

Mine took about 2 weeks to arrive but that was before the season started. They do come from waters afar though so that always adds to shipping time.

I ordered twice from them this season, most recently the first week of February, and got both orders in under two weeks. Hope your order didn't get lost en route.

grumpyoldude · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 24, 2011, 05:02 PM »

OK an update is in order. I complained to ProScandinavia on my missing order, they responded by shipping me out a second order, and that only took 16 days to arrive. The first order is in the wind. So the ice (for me) didn't last, I let you know if their stuff attracts any fish. Sill the worst purchase of the year!

KrappieKilla · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 25, 2011, 01:43 PM »

Worst purchase I made was the Clam fan/light combo. Complete piece of made in china junk. Don't waste your money! For an extra 15% increase in material costs they could have had a great product...instead they cheaped out and turned out a junk product.

SINX53 · « **Reply #23 on:** Mar 25, 2011, 03:01 PM »

I would say the easy bite indicator. I probably would not have bought it but I got it late in the season it was the only spring bobber Fleet Farm had left on the shelves. Luckily I kept the receipt and returned it.

Maybe not the worst purchase of the season for me, but I did had about the same thing happened to me with my order from JB Lures directly. I ordered in mid Dec. Waited, waited, waited, because of all the bad snow storms we've been having, sent email but no response. Finally in Feb got in contact with them, but was told to wait. I waited, for another week and then called them back. Finally got my order. By then, I didn't even get around to using any of the lures, since my fishing season was kind of tough with all the snow storms. So now, I'm going to have to wait till next season to use those lures.

It was nice that they finally delivered, but I still didn't like the fact that they sort of ignored my order situation, then told me to wait, after waiting for so long. The worst thing about this was, I could've just drove down to the store and picked up the lures rather than trying to order direct before the season began.

LOL's, I realy slipped up on that one transaction...I think they just forgot to send me my package.

Then forgot about it. Hoping I'll forget about it. Now if this can just be forgotten.
