XPS tackle trays wanted!!!

[Teri C.]

If anyone can find the double sided crankbait bait trays by XPS Performance Series at Bass Pro, please let me know. I will pay you for them plus shipping and I throw in some tackle goodies for you. These hold about 30-40 small cranks and aren't that much thicker than the typical tackle trays. They do have latches and grooves when open on both sides. I was told today they discontinued them and I really want 2 or 3 more. These trays save so much room in my tackle bag when I am a coangler. Thanks!



These trays are called:

Going Thursday, Ill look

 

[Bill McElroy]

Teri,..I think Falcon makes a similar box....

 

[JR F]

I have Falcons, try them

 

[Teri C.]

I have a few Falcon trays and bought 2 more last night. They have the grooves but they are not double sided. The XPS trays I am talking about hold twice as many crankbaits as the Falcons.

Teri,



I know which ones you are talking about. They are NOT being discontinued (I had the Merch Mgr of Detroit BOS look it up), but they be changing them. I bought 8 on Sunday last week. 4 skinny ones and 4 thick ones. I think they only had 4 left in the store.



Call up to BPS Detroit (248-209-4200) and ask for Brad, Fishing Manager. He should be able to help you locate some or ship you what he has left. Tell him I sent you.

 

[Teri C.]

Mini, Brad wasn't there. I talk to Rich and he said they had 3 left but he would not ship them to me. He did tell me the name:

Teri,

Do you know the Plano model #?

Is it the 4700-00-Two Tier Stowaway?

 

[fatrap]

Teri

do you want me to look at my store tonight?

fatrap

 

[T AMBURGEY]

Ill still look thursday

 

[Teri C.]

I would appreciate anyone going to BPS to look for me. I know shipping is a pain but I will try to make it worth your time by sending you back some good stuff.



Ken, I saw some Plano models at BPS that were 2 tiered but they had "fixed" sections in the box instead of the grooves that keep things single file and the treble hooks in check (if that make any sense). If I can't get the XPS's, I will stick with the Falcon crankbait boxes. They have the grooves but are single sided.

No sponsors and fish alot.

 

[Ken Neeley]

My website is messed up at the moment.....



But I am only a phone call or text away, and I will ship to you, unlike the big-box store you called today!!!

 

[Mini]

Teri I will share. Do you need them now or can you wait to get them in person?



I can send 2 of the thin ones and 2 of the thick ones.

 

[Tom Jones]

Teri,

When they call it "tackle", that doesn't mean you have to buy enough to equal the weight of Albert Haynesworth!!

I went to Bass Pro tonight and got on the computer. That particular model has been discontinued due to the manufacturer quiting production. I'm having a buddy in fishing (I'm in guns) try and pull some in from other stores. Unfortunately there are few left and the other stores may hang on to them.

Funny I was told by our merch mgr that they were NOT being discontinued....strange how i trust this info more....



fatrap have they discontinued the XPS Signature Series Monofiliment???? I was told yes. And that they are reformulating the Excel line. I hope they come up with a premier mono soon......I have enough to last about another summer and then??????? Might have to move to Berkley.

 

[Scott Allen]

Mini,



Try the Sufix Elite series mono. It kicks Berkley's butt IMHO. Small diameter and great strength. It also doesn't have the memory that I find with Berkley lines.

[Greg Meyer]

I have been using Sufix for four years and am very happy with it....

 

[Jim B]

+3 on the suffix. I use the siege and the elite and i really like them both. The elite is nice and limp and the siege which is what i use most of the time is super, super tough. I like the camo color too, it's almost invisible in stained water. I like Excel too but i find it a little stretchy.... I have never really liked any of the trilene lines at all, too stiff and way too much memory.



Teri, i will be at my local bass pro on this coming Tuesday and if i see any i will grab them for you.

 

[Teri C.]

I appreciate everyone checking. If I could get my hands on one small XPS crankbait organizer and one big xps crankbait organizer, I would be super happy. I don't want to take Mini's from him.

 

[Dan J.]

No luck at the ATL BPS. Sorry!

 

[Bill McElroy]

Teri,...don't worry about taking Mini's....he's got more chit in his basement and garage than most mom and pop stores!! He's got rod's in plastic from 5 years ago!! TAKE anything he offers and DON'T feel guilty about it!!!! LOL

 

[Teri C.]

Mac, I broke down and asked Mini for 1 small tray and 1 large. It's amazing how bad a $10 item can create a "want" when you can't "have".

 

[T AMBURGEY]

no luck here either

 

[Teri C.]

Todd, thanks for trying!

 

[Mini]

I will send them out next week T. Good luck this weekend.
