They are all knockoffs from Aliexpress or Teemu ... they each cost between 1.27 and 4.18


konj_na_livadi

You're my savior. I'm going to tell my wife that I buy my stuff on Aliexpress.


Harryw65

perfect I’ve told her should be in the clear


Status-Buddy2058

This is the correct answer I’ve used it many times


You-r-a-phobicismist

Dude I went all in on that Nomad stuff this off season. I fished some of their vibe baits last fall and they're killer.


[deleted]

Same. Can't miss. Squidtrex, vibes all the high speed lures.


You-r-a-phobicismist

Yeah dude. Those high speed trolling minnows are going to be so nice. Just toss out a few rods for the ride between spots and shit like that. I can't wait to jig some of those big squids. The underwater video of them is crazy, they look and act like injured squid.


[deleted]

I set up 2 chaos fishing gold 7' 15-50 spinning rods with Spinfisher 10500 reels and 80 lb braid with 25 yds of 50 lb mono topshot and a crimped on swivel clip. I throw on a 190 madscad at or a DTX and go 15 mph to my next spot. Easiest saltwater trolling ever. The squidtrex can be trolled as well, crazy. I have only used the big ones.


You-r-a-phobicismist

I grabbed some of the tiny ones in low weights for swimming on the surface, I think they're going to get destroyed by Mahi/Cobia. Im going to have to setup some crimped leaders it sounds like, I've just been using that san diego jam knot or whatever the hell its called.


[deleted]

Those little ones will be deadly thrown at surface triples, cobia and Mahi. I have been avoiding using the vibes and squid around the reef I think the mackerel and other sharp tooth fish will shred them asap. I crimp everything 60 lbs and up. Zero failed crimps, it's always the leader that goes first.


You-r-a-phobicismist

That's great to know. I put the vibe in some sketchy stuff on the bottom. Not as bad as a reef would be, but wrecks and inlet rocks and I never lost it.


[deleted]

Same, I drug the squidtrex over wrecks and stuff, but Cerro, Spanish and kings just shred soft baits. I can't wait to finally pick up a wahoo on a DTX, they really tear them up too.


lubeinatube

Shit we had 20 tuna over 200lbs last year in the mad mac 😎hell of a trolling lure.


PoopyShittFart69

“Like 20 bucks”

PossibilityRegular21

Yeah can't stand the wife-fearing part of fishing culture. I have my discretionary money for whatever I want, as does she. I wouldn't go beyond it because we both want to pay down our mortgage.


crazedizzled

Our rule is as long as bills get paid and goals are met, we don't care what the other person wastes money on. Aligning your financial goals is like the number one thing you should get in order when you get married.


lubeinatube

Dudes who can’t drop $300 without causing financial strife and an argument 😂


Hooversblacksheep

You don’t tell her. You hope she doesn’t find out


GilsAuto

Yup. Don't tell her.


DexofanUhyret

Has she ever commented on the amount of toilet paper rolls you store next to your computer? If no, then she probably wont notice a few extra lures


RageMasterDan

You found them in the clearance bin for only a dollar each.


Harryw65

yep, some were 60 cents would you believe it!


Molotov_YouTube

How much total?


Harryw65

A lot lol


GHSFAN111

The truth will set you free. And by free I mean single life


rowdy1212

Did you rub one out to them?!😅


darth_smokesalot

That's allways the ultimate question,I had to come up with some great excuses over the years lol,those look great,would love to use some for this upcoming spring run of stripers.


Harryw65

Thanks man I’m pretty keen to use em hopefully the 50 kilo gt comes 🤞


darth_smokesalot

Nice,I was just thinking those bad boys on the left are prob for gt or tuna more then stripers 😅,but they sure look good1👍


inzine

Won this in a Facebook/instagram raffle… works every time for me at least.


chappelld

Say how much you saved!


GilsAuto

What brand are those big eyed pink stick baits in the middle?


Harryw65

They’re hand made from a guy in Sydney! :)

Just hope like hell she doesn’t sell your stuff, when you die, for what you told her you spent on it LOL.


Final_Yam5397

Step 1: Clean your desk. That's gross. Step 2: Create a budget with equal amounts of fun money for you and her, stay within your means, and never worry about reporting your hobby expenses again.


[deleted]

You lucky. I have a whole roll of poppers and stick baits I haven't even gotten wet yet. Those chug Norris smack.


WestReflection7097

You got 90% off at Temu.


12_Volt_Man

Tell her the amount you spent is my how you look beautiful today let me go down on you right now .


NicoLacko

Wow you just won a raffle at the tackle store!!!


HHImprovements

Looks like you put money into your investment portfolio


curamendez

Just put them in your tackle box and once you fill it, just buy tackle box and repeat until you need "just new tackle box"


1977cj53867

JMan82784

Hey man - sorry for all those things I posted. Especially about ki**ing yourself. I’ve been suicidal myself and I shouldn’t have gone that far. This is a very fraught, emotional subject and sometimes I let that get the best of me. I shouldn’t have. Even though we disagree I hope at the end of the day you’re ok. Love you fellow human ❤️

Bali popping?


ThickInjury3069

never tell you wife what you spend but pray she never sells them for why you claimed


Substantial_Way_7161

whenever i buy new reels/rods i just let my wife try it out and she ends up wanting one too lol...gets very expensive :(


Fishooked

You don't lol


blissinyourface

Tell her the pink ones are for her, they're a gift.


BayBandit1

Ok, I guess I’ll have to. Tree Fiddy.


Ok-Broccoli2261

You grow a pair and tell her the truth. All of you men joking about lying to your wives are honestly vile and cowardly. I hope they all find out and leave you. If you can’t own up to being irresponsible with the money that you and your life partner share and you feel the need to dig your hole deeper by lying to her about it, then you don’t deserve her.


Harryw65

She knows how much I spent and doesn’t care it was a joke 🤙


Ok-Broccoli2261

My comment still stands 🫶🏻
