At least you were able to catch something! For me, catching something is better than nothing.

Nice! I really need to get there more often! I just hate that the gates don’t open until 8!

Thanks! I actually haven't tried fishing at Carolina Beach, but I need to! I usually go to Atlantic Beach or someone on the Outer Banks.

@@ENCFishing all great places 👍🏼 brother..Keep grinding 💪

I really appreciate it!

At this point, I've only caught one pompano, but it was unfortunately a small one so it wasn't much of a fight. I definitely want to try to catch some more though!

Nice! I'll have to give them a try next time I can get to the beach!

Yeah, I completely agree! I don’t understand how they think these are ok to send out! If they at least said they were all private label lures, I would say it’s ok, but still a little on the same side. But claiming they’re the best baits puts it firmly in scam territory for me!

Thanks for watching! To me, it does seem like a decent deal. I don't know if it's really a big savings over buying each thing individually or not, but I didn't feel cheated with what was in there!

I hear they are too! If that one had been bigger, I would have probably given it a try. But that small one wasn't worth the effort to clean it!

Honestly, I would have thought this box was way over priced a couple years ago, but after getting into surf fishing, I realized it's actually not a bad value! But I can definitely see where it comes across as really expensive!

Thank you for watching and commenting! Comments really help me out!

It stands for Eastern North Carolina!

@@ENCFishing thats where i am

@@ENCFishing any paticular beach?

@HookinwithHolden24 Nice!

Most of the time I fish around Atlantic Beach when I surf fish.

That’s what I heard, that they used to put name brand lures in the box when they first started. If I remember correctly, they started having financial problems shortly after MTB started taking off and disappeared for a bit. When they came back, it was under new ownership, and they used lures like these for every box. It’s really sad to see a company go from something promising, to just completely garbage. I’m afraid MTB is heading that way to with it being sold.

@@ENCFishing Yeah that is almost certainly true. It's a lot of factors. Fishing hit its peak during the covid lockdown, as everyone stuck out of the office and factory decided to take it up. Small companies were flush with orders and profits, but had difficulty getting material and manufacturing. Then all the Private Equity Groups bought up all the companies. A small mom and pop tackle company can't exist now. Just look at Pure Fishing and everything that they own. Then they maximize profit by moving all production into sweat shops overseas using the cheapest components while minimizing the workforce. Then everyone goes back to work, unemployment has shrunk and few people have time to fish. Sales plummet, innovation has been rubbed out and baits and gear are of poorer quality. The wheel comes around.

It’s been a while since I got a Monsterbass box, but this box was far worse than any monsterbass box I had gotten!

Thanks! My main reason for doing any subscription unboxing is to let people know what they can expect from them! This is definitely one to stay away from!

@@ENCFishing I do the same thing just would rather get something I can fish with! Thanks and keep up the great work!!

@All_is_Outdoors Yeah, I definitely would rather have something I can fish with too!

This was my first experience with them, and I had seen that was case, but I wanted to check it out for myself! I definitely will not be getting another LTB though!

@ENCFishing yeah I blew up on them years ago they black listed me because lots of people had money stolen by them.

I agree! None of the lures seemed necessarily bad to me, but they were obviously cheaply made, and none of them were really special! I really appreciate the kind words! And thank you for watching!

The packaging is a dead giveaway to me! I know there is only so many different packaging designs, but with them all looking exactly the same minus the slight changes in the graphics and colors, it just screams scam! I really don't understand how they're still even in business! MTB is so much better, and you actually do get some recognizable brands, and they've had major financial issues causing them to be sold!

I’ve been happy with most of the boxes I’ve gotten this year, but I definitely agree that they have gone downhill overall! I canceled my Karl’s membership after having it for about 4 years because they quietly did away with the discount you get for being a member, which was about the only reason I signed up!

Thank you for watching and commenting! That whole camping/fishing trip proved to be tough! We did catch some fish, but they were spread out over different videos we filmed. This one ended up being the toughest video to film!

Thanks! I really appreciate it! That trip definitely proved to be tough for us! We camped for a long weekend, and spent most of the time fishing with very few catches to speak of! I'm sure the couple days worth of storms before we got there is the main cause of the slow bite!

Well, people have to start somewhere, and I'm still learning myself.

🤣

Thanks! It was definitely a surprise to see one that big where I was!

Thanks! I was definitely surprised to see a flounder that big there!

Biggest was 24in, off of white gulp shrimp, 1/4 jighead...best time catching flounder, caught 12 keepers on jigs in 40min. Lol they were stacked on a sand flat in 2ft of water, coming in shallow midday with the tide. Love them flatties fried or stuffed with crab/shrimp on the grill!

That's awesome! I was using a 1/4 trout eye jig head with a SaltStrong Mulligan for this one! This particular trip had a ton of flounder catches! I had to cut a lot out of the full length version of this video because it could have made the video an hour long, easily!

I don't think it's complete garbage, but it's now where near the best I've seen.

You're welcome! And congrats!

That Ark crankbait was definitely my favorite item in the box. I liked the Euro Tackle soft plastics, but if I were buying some, I would prefer the Mule Fishing lures instead.

That Ark crankbait was definitely my favorite thing in the box! And I agree, it's not a bad box, but its not great either.

Wow! I can't say that I've had that happen, but I can definitely tell that sometimes you don't get good quality lures in any of the subscription boxes that I've tried!

@@ENCFishing nice thing about the boxes if you find something you like it helps you to expand your fishing. I never used a jerkbait until this and fell in love with it all because of a subscription box.

You're absolutely right! There are definitely lures I've gotten over the years that I had never tried, but ended up liking a lot! I think where subscription boxes really shine is for people that are new to fishing, and want to build a collection of lures to use.

Thank you! Good luck!

Good luck!

I definitely like it! Not necessarily the best place for big fish, but I always catch something there. Good luck!

@@ENCFishing hey I’m the kind of fisherman that enjoys every fish I get to reel in. I’m going to start kayak fishing the coast here in Texas. I’m nervous since I don’t do a lot of fishing off a yak. But it’ll be interesting to say the least. That flounder looked is a nice catch.😎

I'm definitely the same way! Catching big fish is great, but I'm happy if I'm catching anything! You'll love kayak fishing! I do it some, when I can get someone to go with me to help load my kayaks (I only have roof racks on my SUV), and I always enjoy it! Even when I don't catch anything, just being out on the water is really fun!

I definitely like the idea of them, but I feel like it could have been a bit better for the cost of it. That said, if they do them again this year, I'll definitely get one again!

I definitely haven’t had any issues with the Googan lures I’ve used, but I can’t saying I’ve used anywhere close to all they offer! I definitely agree the 6th sense baits seem like a higher quality! I just got tired of getting the same thing every couple months from them. I’ll definitely have to check out those other options when my MTB subscription is up!

I really was too! We had heard that there were a ton in the area the day or two before, but I guess the wind changed things.

I wouldn't say it's a bad box, but its definitely not the best I've seen from MTB. But I can see how some people would be unhappy with it, especially if they don't like Googan products.
