I didn't expect to see that on this site, some people love the almighty dollar way to much.. Call Oroville Outdoors between 10:00 and 11:00, shippments come in almost daily. $6.79 or $6.99 a box. They have 6" lemon/chart and smoke/red right know... Also 4.5" trout. goodluck.....

Good point - Maybe I should start reselling these things... I know where to get them - If I buy em all up - and resell them for double - I could afford to go fishing more!
On a side note - Can you please remove your quote
"The only sport besides golf where you can only blame yourself."
I really don't need that getting around - I blame the fish, my co-angler, the line, the bait, the lake, the boat next to me and anything else I can find for my bad day(s) on the water. I don't need anyone knowing the truth!

I blame my crappy golf on all kinds of stuff. Bad greens, wind, my clubs, the ball. And it's all true!

Tom, anyone that has had the opportunity to fish with you, would know the real truth any way, so say it like it is

I hear you Joe, I have tried telling myself that many times, but I was not born a liar and I am no good at it (not even to myself)... Oh well they are both great sports anyway......

cuz it's different swing. you're swingng too hard and too often with the golf club and not hard enough nor often enough with the fishing rod.

Cali,
Trying moving your thump just a little to the left on your rod and then you should hook something!

Hey Seig, great to hear from you, I will be in your neck of the woods for the A/C Pro/Am in August. I am hoping the family will come and we can do dinner. By the way what kind of hooks are you offering, if a bottle of boat goo comes with it you have a deal HAHAHA:):) Have a great day...

I could give a S--- about the $4 bucks a box that I MIGHT be making. And if you can get them so easy, then why B---- about it.
I drove an hour to get them and it was my fuel, my time, so why should I sell them to you for $8 a box. I can keep them all and use them I dont care! And that deal you say they get them daily sounds pretty shady!
Someone always has to worry that the next guy has a faster boat, better fish'n spot etc.....

As I stated
ALMOST daily, and I do stand corrected on the price, they are $6.49 a box for the 6" paddle tails. They come in between 10:00 and 10:30 ALMOST daily. Yesterday they got 85 boxes of hitch and 85 boxes of blueback herring and they were gone in 10 minutes.... I don't have a problem with people making a profit, but I think that this is more than just a profit. It is the same thing that the gas companies are doing to all of us. My .02.... Yes I do like to go fast......

Rob,
I'm all for you making whatever you can. That's what makes this country great. If I had a $2.00 bait that I could sell for a thousand, I would be all over that. Capatalism at it's finest............It's no different than Oakley making sunglasses for a dollar a pair and then selling them to us fools for $189.00 a pair
You go boy...............

Well back to fast 492. For you fast and guys around Oroville getting em for $6.49 a box thats great but I paid $8.49 here in So.Cal. Plus, like I said I got my ace off the boat and drove down an hour down the road at $3.65 a gallon so, WHAT PROFIT! So , if you dont know what your talking about to begin with then dont gripe! Oh yes I will give you credit ion ALMOST!
TO, Sniper! That is pretty true how almost all the fishing stuff we buy is sold anyway! Just look at the price diff on these swim baits from So.Cal tackle stores to Oroville $6.49 there at Oroville and $8.49 down here. Thanks for the "Go Boy"

Fast 492, just a question. You just ordered 170 packs of baits. To me, that seems to be a little more than personal use. Unless your fishing for pirahhnas, those baits last for more than three fish. How come I called this morning and I could only get 25 packs of baits sold to me??????? You must have the in at oroville outdoors to get a hold of 170 packs..... I couldnt get any yesterday (I guess because you got your 170 packs LOL!!) By the way, you can glue the baits and make them last alot longer.........

Hey Frog, I ddn't buy 170 packs. I was there when they came in and helped answer the phones. We opened the boxes and within 13 minutes all 184 boxes of the 6" baits were sold. It was crazy, there were 4 guys that waited from 9:00 until they came in, almost 1 1/2 hrs. It is almost as bad as when the Sony Playstations came out. It really is kind of funny......They did get some 4 and 5" baits also....We will see tomorrow how long the next shipment lasts ????? As for only being able to buy 25 packs, I don't know. I do know that they are limiting guys to 10-15 packs of any one color, so they can help as many people as possible. I don't have an in but if you need some let me know...

I don't know what's more fun, seeing the bass fight over this bait OR watching grown men fight over it....rofl

You should have seen the guys that were waiting for them when the FedEx guy showed up. We asked him to take them straight to the back room and all of the guys followed him like kids and an ice cream truck. It was great....
