Grumpys Tackle

“Grease up to my elbows, my eyes are going blurry, I’ve got a pounding headache, but otherwise I’m fantastic,” said Frankie at Grumpys Bait & Tackle. Frankie is keeping busy at the reel bench, very busy. Other than that guys are wandering in looking for new stuff. He said they met a lot of folks out at the NJBBA event over the weekend which was a good one, and they’ll be out at Lacey High School this weekend for the event. Don't forget about Grumpys annual winter sales event on January 31 with seminars by Shell E. Caris, Nick Honachefsky and Scott Thomas.

Franky from Grumpys Bait & Tackle is back in the shop now following his tarpon trip to St. Marteen. He took an 8’8” Tsunami travel rod with Penn 4500 Slammer with NLBNs and enjoyed the warmer weather, but is back at the table catching up on reel servicing and repair. “I am swamped,” he said, noting that there are three rows of reels that need to be picked up. “I’ve got grease up to my elbows with about 150 reels to do,” he said with reels coming in for servicing as far as Alaska and Minnesota. The crew will be out at the NJBBA show this Saturday. Nothing registered for the Polar Bear Striper Tournament but all three prizes were awarded by raffle anyway. Don’t forget the annual Winter Sales Event on January 31 and February 1, with all day seminars, blowout tables with great prices, and a full lineup of plugs from Big Rock Lures.
