I love Bonehead gear!
Hey guys been long time since been on here. What has been going on in Oklahoma. I apologize Mr. Crappiepappa I did not forget about you. But I will be 100 percent honest I did forget your order. But we going put it on the fast wagon across the red river!!
Got to appreciate the honesty, lol!!!
Ryan- just look at the signature line below any of Ranger's posts for his guide service contact info or send him a pm. You will not find a more knowledgable or harder working crappie guide anywhere and as a bonus he is a genuinely nice guy and a great teacher of technique. Money well spent for me.
For sure there Ciller, and Josh is a stand up guy! His desk is as cluttered as mine!! Feel the pain bro!
Mark McGuire will teach, laugh with you and as a result you will not want to get off the water. 6 star on a 5 star scale. Oh, and catching crappie is a bonus!
I get to give him fits this weekend
Looking forward to a report GCG. Probably won't sleep well until I read it. I am like a guy on a diet who can't stop watching the food channel!
LMAO, ok,ok, will do.
Fished Bonehead slim sticks for the first tonight and the crapps approve.
crapAlicious, is Paul Bunin your cousin? Your thumb is the same size as the fishes mouth!!
Ranger was not able to make the trip due to his Father's health issue. He needed to be with his Dad. Family first in my book. Ranger will have another invite to come down for a visit. It turns out the water WAS UP, DIRTY AND LOTS OF DEBRIS floating. Wind was switching too, what little there was. Faburwell and I have not been spanked that hard in a LLLLOOOOOOONNNGGG time.
Ledge I have big hands for a little guy.
.....more Bonehead porn
Nice hands Paul Bunyon but can't compete with Fishers. Maybe he could give us a combo seminar at the next camp on manicures and selfies since he is so awesome at both.
Cant resist. This is from a couple weeks ago at Sardis. 1.99Lbs Attachment 177770
See what I mean? Now THAT is a beautiful and yet manly hand! ROFL! Perfect timing Fishers.
Just noticed I have my little pinky stickin out. Fishers pinky is just semi erect. His selfies are definitely more masculine.
I hope everyone is paying attention here cause that right there is a great tip.WTG cA and thanks for that mini selfie seminar.
Good looking bait
Wow, I have had the exact opposite results. Must be be something wrong.
Hmmm I haven't had this problem.
Like Fishers, I too have the opposite effect. Call Josh and let him know. He'll make it right but more important he needs to know if there is an issue. I have a couple of spools I'll loan you Jaime if needed
crappie_jiggin....sorry to hear about your troubles bub. I have been using BH line for a while now, have used the 6, 8, 10 pound mono and 12 pound braid and I have found nothing but positive things with it. have actually turned guys who swore by Viscous onto Bonehead line for two reasons, first and main reason was the breaking strength, and second was the lack of memory it has compared to other mono. I have straightened out several hooks with 8 pound mono and if you check out my post about blackwell, a lot of those fish were caught on 8 pound mono, the rest on 12 pound braid. we have caught hundreds of fish in a week all on the same line and have yet to have a problem. I do know Josh stands behind his product 100% so share your concerns with him and I bet you will walk away a happy guy. Please let the forum know what the end result is, so people are not left with reading about your negative experience and then having to wonder if Bonehead made it right or not.
I too have switched from using mister crappie 6 pound mono to bonehead 8 pound mono. Nothing but positive experience for me. I was reminded how much better bonehead is when I was using my 5 foot rood with mister crappie 6 pound mono and the jumble mess from the memory. As far as strength is concerned my experience has been the same as Josh. I was horsing over over 30 plus crappie over a pound with it breaking off. Please give bonehead another chance.
I didn't take it as you bad mouthing the product. You were simply stating what happened and if anyone else has experienced it. I did have a spool of 8 lb orange mono that was kinda spooled wonky which made it a little hard at times unspooling but that is it. Never had any problems breaking or slipping. I would contact Josh.
Just wanted to ask....have you checked all the inserts in your eyes? If you have one that is missing, broken, has sharp edge, that could be the cause of the fragile line. The friction of it rubbing a bad spot on the insert or lack of insert could weaken the line causing your problems. Just a thought is all and something to check. sometimes, those inserts are never noticed to be damaged, but upon closer inspection, you may find something out of place.
Ok, I just got off the phone with Josh at Bonehead Tackle. The first thing I did was apologized to him for knocking his product on an open forum. He stated he appreciated that I took the time to call him and let him know. After talking to him he mentioned that there was a good chance the spool of line I received got mislabeled and could very well be 2 lb line instead of the 6 lb I ordered. He asked for my address so he could send me a new spool and I told him it wasn't necessary because they had send me two spools of braid by accident on the original order and they would not take them back and told me to keep it because it was their mistake. We worked out a deal that I will send him back his 2 spools of braid in exchange for a spool of 6 lb mono.
Now for me to apologize on here to Bonehead Tackle for the bonehead comment I made in an open forum. I am sorry for my comments and with great regret wished I hadn't made them. I have asked the moderators to delete my comments about Bonehead and am currently waiting on them to do so. I am unable to do so, because of comments made after my post.
After this my days of posting on here are going to be slim to none. You guys have a great day and continue to catch crappie.
Wait, wait, Jamie, where you goin? I have always enjoyed your posts!Quote:

I believe Josh and I have figured it out. He stated the spool may have gotten miss labeled and after checking this out the spool I received seems allot smaller diameter than the other 6 lb I have. We are thinking I may have gotten 2 lb on a 6 lb spool.
Newsflash straight from Josh at Bonehead. They are now being sold at Basspro.
Merle, I learn from my mistakes and sometimes my actions get the better of me. I speak before I think. That is why I will not be posting much on the open forum any more. Now if you want to shoot me a pm I will talk all day.
Jamie - don't quit posting!!! Everyone has their own experiences with any product. As I said in my PM to you I don't want to openly criticize a company in an open forum but will not hesitate to give my experiences face to face or in a PM. I believe Merle is like me. If you hadn't had your posting we wouldn't have exchanged PMs. You have way too much to offer to the forum to quit, or even slow down, your postings! Besides, I need someone to help me keep giving Ranger a hard time! We are all friends here.
Floyd
Hey it was nice talking to you today on the phone. No reason not to post any more. I would be mad to if my line keep breaking on me every time I tied a jig on. Specially if I was loosing big fishing. We will get ya another spool see what you think about it see if it's any better. Hope you guys are having a great day. It sure is pretty out today!!
There is never anything wrong with telling the truth or how a situation made you feel. Josh's reputation on backing his products is solid as a rock. He is one of the very few that does what he says he will do. That is very rare today! NO harm no foul at all in my book. Jamie, Floyd is correct. Please reconsider.
When you are self employed, there are times you take it on the chin. It's business. You posting your concerns openly prompted you to contact Josh. You posting openly let you be aware that something was amiss. It's a natural thang. I've had issues with vendors both in fishing and real life. If nothing's said, nothing's known. Keep posting.
I pour my own jig heads and I really like Matzuo sickle hooks. Every once in a while I will get a batch in that breaks very easily. Nobody is perfect and I believe Bonehead sells quality products. Bonehead supports this forum, as well as several members in the Okie forum. I will continue to use their products for this reason alone.
