As a subscriber to the bento box, its the best you can buy. Ben is the best retailer in the US for sure. Keep those sleeper craws seperate btw. Just a higher quality elaztech, but they do melt. As a collector and someone who loves the hook up, it was so cool to see the excitment you had going through the bento box! 🍻
The hookup tackle bento box is always awesome. Something to keep in mind: they do special boxes throughout the year like you bought. The retail value on those is usually way over the selling price. I don't recall what the value of the anniversary box was but it was more than 100. Their normal bento box you get a $100 value for $100 but you get sweet limited edition baits. Unlike the other subscription boxes I have seen, pretty much everything that comes in the bento box is something I would want and a lot of the items are things you can't buy anywhere. Definitely keep an eye out for deals at the Hook Up Tackle. For the anniversary box, they were giving away a free $100 gift card with any tatula product. I bought a tatula elite rod I wanted, then used free gift card to buy the bento box. For $180 plus tax I got a ton of value. They also do 20% off gift cards multiple times through the year. They even encourage you to use the gift cards to buy things that are on sale. I honestly don't know how they make money on some of their sales.
I’ve been getting the 6sack for about half a year and absolutely love all their products. The #2 hooks I used to tie a few little flies for creek fishing
I spend so much money at thut. I’m a bento subscriber a little over a year and I can only remember one box I was initially disappointed in but later grew to love. It’s a sick subscription. I too canceled my 6 sack after a few months. You guys do good work here. I’m really enjoying the content
I have that Teckel Qlinker. It’s a super cool lure with a very unique sound. You’ll understand the name when you hear it. Sounds like a metallic jingly whopper plopper. Love the bladed hollow body frogs. They destroy the snakeheads here in Maryland.
I’m glad you were able to get on the Bento Box. I had this box for a while and was super excited to get something outside my comfort zone! Great video!!
OSP Asura Varuna and the OSP Durga are the best made jerkbaits and have the BEST quality hand painted colors patterns on the JDM market. Check out their downsized jerkbaits like the Durga. &$ in the bank on tournament day
The Megabass Sleeper Craw is absolutely amazing! It is a smallmouth killer, that also catches big largemouth. The color I have done the most damage on to be scuppernong, and the only way to screw them up besides getting them stuck, which does happen rather easily actually, is to let them touch other baits, which will cause them to melt. Keep it in that plastic pack will not use, and you’ll be good to go.
hey been loving the content from both you and fish everything. also an angler in mi, you should try the gary yammamoto fat ika in a watermelon gold flake. you can get em off tackle express ben throwing them on a weightless Texas rig and just been killing larges all around here near st clair
I love “The HookUp Tackle” I have went through the same y’all have went through with the bento. But the few that I’ve gotten I’m not disappointed. Aside from that these folks go out of their way to put out information and dare I say teach people how to fish specific techniques. I borderline want to make a trip to Arizona to party with the hookup folks
Love the unboxing videos over anything else for some reason, i admit ive been getting into fly fishing and find it hard to keep up with both types of content but cant help but keep up with you guys, debo, and fish anything. Missed the last few lives but wont miss the next one for anything lol keep up the good work boys
The super fish roller is insane it suspends horizontally meant for mid strolling I’ve been using it from the bank and it gets crushed they have a partially hollow body
Flambeau: "That YakAttack BlackPack accessory looks very familiar... 🤔" Z-Man stuff is just awesome, especially for BFS. Their micro finesse GOAT, TRD, Shad Fryz, Shad Headz, etc. all keeping me in the fish. Especially their Paddlerz in The Deal color. I literally catch everything from bluegill to 5-lb largemouth all on the same gear/bait.
I just canceled my 6th sense sack, too. I also have several hybrid jigs. The other reason was their shipping. They send out month specific gear. They don't send it until the 15th of the month. Then it takes 10 days to get it. If everything goes perfectly, you get it with 5 days left in the month.
Wow that's actually a little insane on the price for those storage totes 😂. You can get something similar and save money I suppose though lol. No way the average guy can buy many of those if any. No way it costs anywhere near that to make them either.
@@aaanglersI can imagine shipping isn't great with that size item lol. Have to get fedex, dhl or ups to handle it. But if they ship enough they should be able to get a big discount. But I bet if they do get the discount even down the road price won't change lol. I've seen boxed like those much cheaper but don't think they had dividers, you can get them at a couple places. Think they was around 40/45ish dollars. Which imo is still expensive for a storage box 😂. Oh and I found some boxes like their tackle storage I may see if they are the same or very similar but....I have to order them out of Asia so might be awhile before I can test and check them out. No shad on buzbee at all but since they are pretty much the only actual fishing tackle named specific in the US they can charge what they want and sell them 😂 which is a little wild in pricing at times. Those boxes don't cost anywhere near that to have manufactured. I also know at half price my local guy made a good profit off the boxes when he clearanced them, I have a little inside track shhhhh 😂
Without a doubt the bento box is the best subscription box you can get in the USA. There is nothing that even comes close. Pricey yes, but worth every penny !!!
And yet, if you’re not subscribed already, you can’t get it unless you’re one of the lucky few that happened to be online right when they release the handful of extras.
I only use hooks that small in places I KNOW there are no larger fish. Sucks damn near killing a monster bluegill trying to get that hook out when they swallow it whole. 😖
Yakattack short stack gives the same vibes that new iphone 'features' have when you look at what android (and milk crate) users have been doing for years.
I think it was a win for me. I store my big ole Newport battery in the bottom along with a food bag and few things I dont need often. Used a yakattack thru hull kit to run wires to the back of blackpak pro and the plastics go in the shortstak.
Disappointing hookup puts Lucky Craft USA lures in a JDM box. They are already half the price of the Japan versions and most of them end up at Ollie's for even less.
Lucky craft cut their prices in half on purpose to flex on all the other company’s. You would know this though if you did your homework. 😂😂 It’s people like you that spread bullshit around the internet cause your buddy who throws Googan baits told you so.
Favorite bait from this unboxing?
All of the bento, I got that one and it’s been killing it for me.
Same got the 25 box as well favorite has been the q-linker and the osp jerk Jerkbait
That varuna is crazy good. Thats bens special color called ghost geisha. Perfect for almost all water clarity.
That Zman frog.
That Pop Max is awesome!!
It always amazes me how "tight" the fishing community is. Love 💗 from IA.
Super fish roller is a mid strolling bait. Has lots of hype

bento box is so cool so much fun in that box

Bento box is absolute 🔥 I’ve spent like 4 grand at the hookup in the last 2 months. My wallet hates me though 😆
The Berkeley finisher looks a lot like the 6th sense hyper jerk. You should run them head to head, to see which one works better!
That fish roller is the Hover strolling beast lol
U r gonna love the pop max
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beto box
You need to check out the missing at sea swimbaits

Yay love the vids guys!
Bento box is worth it.
The Bento is the best. It’s pricey but worth it. Every month they sell some, keep an eye if you are not subscribed to the monthly subscription.
Without a doubt the bento box is the best subscription box you can get in the USA. There is nothing that even comes close. Pricey yes, but worth every penny !!!
Correct!
And yet, if you’re not subscribed already, you can’t get it unless you’re one of the lucky few that happened to be online right when they release the handful of extras.
crl is chartreuse, red, and lime?
sounds right
6th sac probably a 5.....
Will that yak attack crate fit in the old town predator? Any one know? Thx!!
Yes, but you need the risers that Yak Hobby makes to use the rod holders properly
@@aaanglersthx much appreciated
Great unboxing can you send me some information on the best ultralight baits and lures at walmart thank you
Plenty of Rebel and Bomber tiny cranks, and strike king spinnerbaits. BUT, Order mule fishing jigs and plastics from mulefishing.com instead.
@@aaanglers I really do want to get them
It is taking a while to get my 6th sense bag not on them though ups fault 15 days and says should get it today
Where in Michigan are you from?!
Jackson Ann arbor area
Love zman, except in AZ summer. Ruins them every year. Wish they were more heat resistant
Scottsboro paddle tail clamshell is unnecessarily massive... the Flush clamshell is a distant 2nd. That's how obnoxious the Scottsboro is.
True

All of the lucky craft lures are made in Japan. You should do some homework before you ramble off disinformation and make yourself look like a fool.

@@Daiwa_Is_King you should do some homework. They use lesser materials to come in at a lower price point on a lot of them.
@@Daiwa_Is_King ok simp, if you say so. And I order directly from Japan and cut out places like the Markup Tackle.
The hook up tackle are located in ARIZONA down the road from me the owner and employees are awesome @thehookuptackle
