Hooky. Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Blimey-Charlie, I was in at Australian Bass Angler today for one and a half hours and I only spent $70. Got myself a couple of Ecogear SX-48's, a shirt, some worm hooks................blah, blah, blah. In saying that, I also have a few Ecogear SX-40's on back order which will turn up shortly and something else which should be in on Monday. I also had the thought of a rod and reel purchase in the back of my mind for most of the day which slowed my spending. Anyway, at the end of the trip I effectively spent, hmmm, doesn't matter 'cos it's therapy so my wife tells me. BTW, I drove about 100 k's to ABA and back and it is definately worth it, great tackle shop with a fresh feel about it. Anyway, go and check it out for yourselves. P.S. Hope I wasn't too much of a pest Mick. cheers Hooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky. Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 I don't have a tackle store like ABA near home, so when I go there I usually study everything and inspect nearly every lure one by one. :wank: I only spent $70 on the day but I do have some stuff on the way soon that I ordered whilst there.

Guest iain Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 It's an impressive shop that's for sure and well worth the trip. BTW if you know what you want they'll do mail order. Then again for me going to the tackle store and looking at all the stuff is a treat for me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Some one should make a movie about fisherman and call it There's Something about Fisherman --- they just can' help them selves. I did the same today; dropped into a tackle store I saw while driving along, went in spent hour looking around and walked out with 1 Video 1 DVD 1 new rod and reel combo so I can try some soft plastics 1 new Okuma CL 45 and a rod to match What do you do, it’s an addiction.

kevvie Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I bought my boat there and they are great. Problem is i never have enough money to spend in there. I'm always torn between what i need and what i want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic Tuna? That's the one. Certainly does the job for me when it comes to keeping cool in the hot sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
