Has anybody tried "Into the X" from Megabass?

Don't know if this is a new thing or not. But it seems a little pricey for some special colored lures, a hat and a shirt.

It's new. $79/month. Thought about it, but decided not to. It's one special painted lure, one seasonal lure (standard retail lure) and then either a clothing article or a test lure. If it was all 4 every time I woulda bought in, but 3 items for $80 is a bit steep.

I do want the gong hat though.

It's more stuff than what I originally thought (I'm not good a reading Japanese-English). It is a bit steep but I may end up doing it (I'm really bored given the cold spell in Boston...). That "factory pride" display would make a nice conversation piece in our cabin even though I generally like to fish all the stuff I own (if I start collecting, it is going to be all sorts of trouble).

If I end up doing it and get the gong hat, I may propose you a trade :o

Ended up pulling the trigger on it, looking forward it!

Will post on here when I start getting the stuff. Extreme cold weather and cabin fever have a way of loosening the wallet :oops:

Like I usually tell my brother, if you can't get out to fish, the next best next best thing is buying fishing stuff, tuning the equipment and planning outings.

I also took the plunge. I passed on the clothing and apparel and took the surprise lures.

I didn't realize that there was actually a choice between apparel and surprise lure :?

But that's ok. Once I get that gong hat, I can get Teal to reveal all of his secrets :lol:

Sweet! My package arrived as well but I haven't been able to get to my office since.

Got a bunch of goodies waiting for me and I will retrieve them on Saturday and post as well. Good stuff! =P~

Was finally able to pick up the first box.

Inside the box is whatever was advertised on the web site:

* Dog X in Factory Pride Color
* Knuckle LD in Test Color
* Shading X Seasonal Lure

Also included some stickers and a letter of apology for the "Factory Pride Display" not being shipped in the first shipment, will come in March.

Pretty nice stuff and looking forward to the next box with surprises! Teal, will have to wait at least another month for the Gong Hat!!
