    I am not a Box/Bag guy. I prefer to shop deals on Omnia, Tackle Warehouse, Discount Tackle, and a few other sites. Most sites are $50 for free shipping. I watch a few CZcamsrs unboxings like on your channel, to see what is new or different that I might be interested in trying. Once I know what I need or want, I then like to pick the brand, size, and colors of the lures that will work best for me based on the water that I fish.

    Like some other comments here I get 6th sense, Monsterbass and occasionally Lurenet bank and creek bag. I think that I may be addicted but I do try and use all of the baits I get at least once. I also now have a small bait shop in my basement lol. Good video guys. Thanks.

    Good job guys! I struggled with getting a subscription. I have a several hundred dollar order built to send in. I added and removed a 3 month subscription several times. Currently it isn't on the order. After your video that included unboxing their brand I couldn't justify getting the same stuff over and over!

    In 2022 I wanted to add to my small assortment of classic hard baits. So, I joined the 6th Sense 6Sack for 1 year. In 12 months I received 2-Munch40, 2-Curve55, 2- Curve finesse, 8-Crush25, 6-Crush50, 3-Crush75, 4-Crush100, 1-Snatch70, 2-Thud70, 2-Quake70, 2-Quake80, 2-Cloud9, 1-Swank66, 2-Swank77, 2-Axis metal2.0, 1-Speedglide, 1-Speedwake, 1-Catwalk, 1-Dogma100, 1-Movement80, 1-Spashback70, 1-Vega Frog, 1-Flat FinesseF4, 1- Duke65, several packs of Stout WG, Jugular, Shacky head, jig head hooks, Swim Jigs, pitching jigs, 23packs of soft plastics and 1 slow sink 6”Trace (in a color not intended for my area unfortunately) BUT NOT one single Provoke Jerk-bait WTH!!! The subscription was good to easily acquire a wider selection of hard baits and to help me compare baits and develop preferences. Overall, it was a good experience and education. As for what it would take for me to rejoin another fishing subscription box… A hell of a lot of customization. Which in the end would just about the same as placing an order with one of the many tackle shops. Thanks for all the videos gentlemen.

      Did u ever take the time to count up the retail cost of the "booty" u grabbed up during ur subscription to compare what u got @ sub price vs retail cost of the same gear? Just curious if ur really making out or if ur only saving $30 but getting a majority of shit you'll never use anyways...

    When I got into fishing crankbaits I got a garage sale sac from 6th sense. Always a sucker for that. I don’t do subscriptions. I buy what I like and try new baits all the time and I usually can get value watching the different sales more than the mystery box of baits. I do like when the you tube guys do a partnership with monster bass or bait works because I can support their channels and get something tangible in return that I usually have watched them use on their channel.

    I have had most of these subscriptions. I have to say the one I have like the best and have kept the longest is the 6th Sense. I also had one for awhile that I stopped late '23 was from Dark Horse Tackle. I usually just keep the lures I like from them and then set the others in a large tote to give away to the scouts or new anglers. It has been nice to have the stuff to giveaway.

    February MB box is my 1st one ever. I'm going to see what's in the March box, but if I had to make the call based on the 1st one I'd be cancelling. The book that came in the box is mostly an ad, and the 1/2 the QR codes lead to 404-page not found on the MB site. I could deal with that, but the value in the box is mostly tied up in a super high end lipless, which is nice but you could have 4 that catch fish for what this hand painted dude goes for. And then there's the setup for beta-testing a MB plastic. Very nice terminal, but I didn't agree to pay for the privilege of working for MB for free - oh and the plastic they want me to test is not even remotely appropriate for Feb in the northeast. In the end the contents of the box is a good value, but seems like strange choices to me. The educational value of this box is, so far, drastically over-sold.
    Unrelated note - I caught my PB largemouth in January using a bluegill color pattern spoon. Almost fell out of the kayak I was so surprised. Was trying to catch trout...

    The last box I got was the Monsterbass 2022 January Z-man takeover box.
    For me the 'in house' brands drove me away, especially from Monsterbass, too many misses to believe that the hard baits are worth $10-$12 just because it has your brand on it...

    I'm about ready to launch my website. I've been pouring plastics/lead, tying jigs, etc. since 1994. If I ever offer boxes/bags, I'd never buy someone else's stuff to resale. It will only be the stuff that I make. Lots of people buy on Amazon and Temu and claim it's a subscription box. As a little guy in the business, you have to be on top of things. I plan on doing a set amount of subscriptions to start and have 2 to 3 months ahead of schedule. It's in the future, but not a priority right now. Tight lines!

    I’ve been getting 6thsense on and off for 3 years. First time I stopped was only cause I had a ton from them and had more than enough for fishing. Then I started it back up when they revamped the sack. Also side note it took alittle over two years before I got a repeat bait in the same color.

    This was a great video. I got the 6 month sub to Monsterbass as valentines gift from my lady last year. And ended up keeping it 3 extra months. It’s not a terrible box, but I feel like it’s more for new fishermen that aren’t sure what to start with. My favs were the Strike King, and Zman take over boxes. And I love their shirts and hoodies. I also gave my 13 year old the 13 fishing reel that was the freebie, and he loves it. Other than that. Only 1-2 items per month actually worked in my area. I still have a plastic tote somewhere with things I didn’t even open. But never had a month where I was disappointed in my box. And it turned me onto my new favorite scent maker. Liquid Mayhem, and the monster bass top water walking bait, which I can’t remember the name of slayed early fall last year. I watched some un boxing videos on the others, and there’s no way I’d buy one. Minus maybe the 6th sense sack, but it seems to come with a lot of orange, and craw color lures. That only work very specific months in my local lakes. And I don’t need more a gear that only works a month a season. I’d rather spend $50 a month and hand pick my selections. I just ordered $200 worth of 6th sense gear, and can’t wait for the waters to warm up so I can try it. Especially the 5 & 6” Trace, speed glide, and provoke 97
    And a second shout out this week ? Y’all are gonna make me blush 😁

I've had MTB a couple times, I've had Monsterbass during their takeovers and teaching months on dropshot, Carolina rig, Texas rig, and a few others. The comment section is gonna hit it home when it comes to the 6 sack where it feels like u feel like ur getting stuff that's not selling like that swank 77x or that axis 2.0 (still a cool looking bait tho) along with the clout worms and divine shaky heads. 3 months seems like the more reasonable way to go just to see what ur getting into for the most part. The garage sack is by far the best part of 6th sense because it really is a mystery and in terms of value holy smokes. Also I'll take that lanyard off ur hands if you don't want it lol.

I then subscribed to 6th sense and like you said got 40 crankbaits and not even different ones, the same ones just ‘new colors’. Just got annoying, a lot of the lakes around me are so grassy its hard to even fish most crankbaits, didnt need them and got tired of it. Not worth it in my opinion. I just buy $200-300 at a time and usually do it during site sales so i stock up for the year. Much more worth it, plus its baits i know i will use in colors i will use. Great video, nostalgic.

    I prefer a subscription “bait”. A tackle shop in my area used to send out a custom color lure from a popular lure company, once a month. I saltwater fish mainly. The local shop partnered with a very popular lure company, Mirrolure. Mirrolure would do custom colors, as long as you purchased 600 units. That tackle shop would get a custom color of one of their lure models and ship it to you with a cool sticker each month. You couldn’t get those lures in those custom colors anywhere else. Unfortunately that shop went out of business due to unfortunate circumstances. They were still very successful and known up and down the coast, but had to close the doors 😢.

    The points you made are exactly why I did a box for the first year I was learning to bass fish. At the end of the year I stopped due to my learning growth and what I gravitated toward in preference. No reason to buy a basic box when I can tailor my purchases towards something that suits me more. The only “box” I buy now are the selective bento boxes from the hook up tackle. I’ll be trying to get in on their monthly subscription next year when it opens.

Had a 3 month Monster Bass and went back to MTB because they would send so much spam and e-mail about what was in my box and a video that would auto play on the 1st well before you would get the box that ruined any surprise of buying the box :/ I also did not like their "Take-Over" boxes as it limited the brand variety and I ended up with TWO in a row, one Z-man and one Lunkerhunt.
    *Also worth noting that the nearest BIG tackle store it almost an hour away from me

    You might want to give the PBJ Zman a second chance. I know guys definitely crush on that color worm. If you think about it, it resembles an earthworm, in my opinion

    I had mtb for about 2 years. I liked it cause it kind of forced me to use things out of my comfort zone. However they used to send like 2 crank baits a box. I haven’t had a mtb in 2 years and still have more cranks than I can use after losing half of them.

  • @NStone90

    I got rid of mb a long time ago. The box was going downhill, but being personally disrespected by Rick is what set me over the edge. That being said, the boxes last year would've been enough to get me to cancel. I do however have the 6th sense sack and couldn't be happier. Not every box is the best ever but you get a random $35 swimbait that isn't micro. The 6th sense thing is, they're supposed to send an exclusive, be it a color, new bait, or the swimbait that really boosts the value of the sack. I think there's only been the months that haven't had the exclusive, one being I didn't get an exclusive color, but they right bait. This months sack was actually really disappointing, no exclusive and a lanyard instead of an extra bait.

    2nd product (blue hooks) is usually tied with a snell knot. Usually seen as ocean fishing. 3rd bait (spoon) is killer for winter baits. Cast, let it fall to the bottom, lift up until you feel the line tighten up and drop it. Repeat until you feel a bite.
    We were contacted by some of those subscription box companies and its not the best "deal" on the baitmakers side.

  • @kylewright9399
    @kylewright9399 Před 6 měsíci +1

  • @egomaniac247
    @egomaniac247 Před 6 měsíci +4

    It's never "worth it". I'd rather spend money on things I know I'll use/need. THAT SAID - it's a cool gift to get random lures every month, especially for the chance to try stuff you wouldn't normally use.

    Boxes from Mystery Tackle Box, MonsterBass and soccalled “suprise”boxes are not worth the price or subscriptions. Sorry. But its true. There is another CZcamsr did an unboxing for one year’s worth of subscriptions. And out of the 12 boxes; only one box had DECENT baits/lures. The rest were caca baits.

  • @Brobro449
    @Brobro449 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I actually bought a box a few years ago from simple fishing for walleye and actually had some really good stiuff in it and i was supporting kinda local in spruce grove alberta. I got there walleye box but they have a pike, bass,trout, walleye, multi species and ice box. Should check em out if you ever do this again they used to be subscription but now just do like mtb.

    I was an ltb sub back when it first came out and it came with the golden ticket and they did the monthly live with prize drawings. Was pretty cool. Did mtb for a bit both were good then they started giving half packs of plastics then off brand lures all the time. 6th sack is by far the best I've never got a monster bass box but did get monsterbass lures in ltb box back in the day and they were good lures if it's the same company.

  • @WayOfDCea
    @WayOfDCea Před 6 měsíci +1

    First off, super helpful vid guys. thanks. I've had pretty good experience with the mtb ... all around the board though companies have a tendency to pick 2-3 items from their clearance rack to put into their tackleboxes. I disagree that MTB is sacrificing For a while on the Karl's site they had discounted Googan Jr Scouts for like 5-6 bucks... I can't find a better deal for a jerkbait of decent quality, they've since gone back up to the 10 dollar range which is a bummer. But especially discounted googan scouts are legit, particularly at their price point. Not really seeing the difference between an mtb pro and the monsterbass, but those two were definitely strongest imo. Great stuff, dug the customized / special edition baits coming out.

  • @gamingdreams2142
    @gamingdreams2142 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I didn’t know Lucky Tackle box still existed. I have tried most of these boxes over the years and 6th sense is the only one I thought that was worth it.

  • @theoohler4749
    @theoohler4749 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Fascinating wrap up gents. I don't like "Subscription" anyyyythingggg, period. Butttt, if the manufacture gave me upper end, those new special release baits, those custom or super hard to get colors that would probably make me honestly consider a subscription. Currently they can all go pound sand.

  • @willhoward9865
    @willhoward9865 Před 6 měsíci +1

    The hooks in the one box are designed to be snell-knotted I believe.

  • @666bluegreen
    @666bluegreen Před 5 měsíci

    I'm on the hard no side of boxes. It doesn't cost much to buy a lure or 2 to try, and you get the color you want. However for a new fisher, these boxes are useful for getting an assortment to get started. Although, it is still easier to buy a few lures here and there. Also, now that there is so much more information on the internet, it is easy to get an idea as to what you really need to put into your tackle box, and it will save you a ton of money to only get those few lures that you will use. So for me, that small savings really isn't enough to offset the cost of just getting the few lures you need/want, as well as a few spares and not have random things take up space on something you won't use.

  • @repairdrive
    @repairdrive Před 6 měsíci +1

    I think the boxes are great for beginner fisherman. I discovered some of my favorite baits through them. But after about 3 years I have most of the stuff I NEED and I just go buy the individual baits I WANT so the boxes don't really have a value for me anymore.

    Pbj ned rig is killer in clear water its my favorite color and go to when the water is cear. Take 1/2 or3/4 inch off the big trd and put on a regular size ned head to give fish a little different look especially if you throw a ned alot. Pbj it works in 20 ft vis water pbj is a clear not dirty water color anything clearer than you would use green pumpkin in

    I asked my wife to get me a MTB Elite Box sub for 1 yr. ( December 2023 ) as a Christmas gift. I love it because I’m early into getting back into fishing and building my gear/tackle. I plan to stop the subscription because I don’t believe I’ll need the extra tackle after one year. We’ll see if there’s any special offer for re-subscribing. The other benefit is this might give you a style of lure you don’t normally fish.

    I have gotten the sixth sack in the past about a years worth. Their bates are nice and am a fan. As far as savings I would think sixth sense out of all of them could give you a bigger bang for your buck because they are their bates. They choose to only give a little savings and at the end of the day like you guys say I can shop and get exactly what I want for the same money or maybe even cheaper if on sale.

  • @takG6
    @takG6 Před 6 měsíci +1

    The only one I really ever considered was the 6th sense bag. Mostly because I do like their cranks a lot and the random chance of getting a trace/draw or one of the upcoming releases. But I can’t justify it solely for the fact that I have no confidence in some baits and I can’t get the colors I like/know work. Sure the custom colors are cool but not enough for me to justify subscribing when I can get baits that will end up just being a waste of my money.

  • @Willy3677
    @Willy3677 Před 5 měsíci

    when I first got into Bass fishing 5 years ago I did the Lucky Tackle Box and it was good in the beginning but I soon grew out of it as it was low budget stuff that did not get used. I would rather shop for myself now at all the outlets we have and find stuff I want, in good colors and good price. To try them again they would need to have some change at really higher end stuff to make it worth it. or do a build a box with what you want categories....No more cheap knock off baits

    That same ned jig is my go to, except the non weedless version. I use zoom trick worms and cut like 2 inches off of them. That is my go to finesse set up.

    first time ever purchasing a subscription bait box was last month, i went with monster bass (premium box 6 months) off impulse and the best %off deal i could find. Im typing this without watching the video. Hopefully i made a good decision and i'll let you know. First box was the zman box and i wasnt that excited. Seems like if you added the baits up you saving a few dollars.
    EDIT: so after watching the video, few things i noticed different in my MB platinum box. The baits were the same but the colors varied on a few items, more specifically the big TRD and hellraizer
