MTB Mini Mystery Fishing Tackle Kit Unboxing #1 And #6

[@bogolyskeepingitreel]

I done solved the mystery.....you got ripped off son! 🤣😂 Crankbait is the highlight for me. Of course it's no Parrabellum crankbait but did look sweet. Good share Joe!

[@ParabellumFishing]

🤣🤣🤣 Bro you nailed it!! And yeah, I think the crank was the star of the video. I do wanna fish those lizards too. I really wish they came with the terminal tackle. But Looks like I got GOT! LOL

[@bogolyskeepingitreel]

@@ParabellumFishing 😆🤟🏻

[@bogolyskeepingitreel]

Thanks for the pin👊😉

[@ParabellumFishing]

@@bogolyskeepingitreel Thanks for the Laugh! LOL

[@BigBaitPosse]

hahah Joe, you seemed so excited with the plastics. 🤣🤣🤣 I believe I'll stay away from those...

[@ParabellumFishing]

Was it obvious? 😂Thanks bro!

[@shannonkirby9295]

Hey, Joe, great to see you! Pray you are well, brother. Great video

[@ParabellumFishing]

Hey Shannon! Always great too see you in the comments brother! I am doing well and I hope the same for you and yours!

[@NoRedemptionOutdoors]

Howdy Joe! I hadn't seen these before, and I don't feel like I was missing anything. 😄

[@ParabellumFishing]

Nope! I would say you aren't missing much at all. How's it been buddy?

[@TheOutdoorConquest]

The banger heads are pretty sweet from Headbangers. Also…their cranky Shad’s are erratic and really make a ruckus. Thanks for sharing Joe. I’ve never seen these before. Pretty nice crank in box 6.

[@ParabellumFishing]

I'll have to track down those cranky shads. I've heard good things about the headbanger jig head and thats why I was...let's say....annoyed...yeah, that works LOL - when I didn't get one with the lizards. That crank does look sweet. But I couldn't find that same pattern online. Exclusive? or poor performer? not sure. But I'll throw it. Bet it works well. Thanks for watching bro!

[@YourNextCast]

That is a really cool kit right there. I hadn't tried any of them but I know that head banger lure is a good one. Hope you are doing well. You are right on the verge of 600 too. Nice job.

[@ParabellumFishing]

Thanks man! Getting close.

[@CrankingYanking]

I have never been impressed with the Mystery Tackle Boxes, Buck and I did our little challenge on them, but what was inside was pretty lacking. I caught them on sale for 10 bucks and picked up 4 of them and still was not sure I got my moneys worth. Better to just buy what you want, the only mystery i can find in those boxes is why anyone buys them

[@ParabellumFishing]

I bought a few off the shelf too. I got one for $8. Still haven't opened it yet. I guess if you dont know what to throw, they can be fun to get. Or If you just have money to burn? I mean, you bought 4 of them. Buck bought some, I bought these....so I guess people with KZbin channels buy them! LOL Thanks for watching James!

[@CrankingYanking]

@@ParabellumFishing Yeah I did, and yea we do, but then KZbin channels do a lot of things that don't make much since- or some of them anyhow

[@willtrax71]

You are correct my friend and tossing in some Hooks maybe instead of the Worms and you could get something going right outta the gate. It’s a cool little Craw though. I was thinking that Pond behind you looks like a great Topwater Frog spot in the Summertime.

[@ParabellumFishing]

Agree! They call it a "kit" so maybe making them more fishable out of the box may be a better direction for them. That is a great craw. Nothing wrong with those Xzone baits. I fish that lake fairly often. Nothing of any real size in there. I think the biggest I pulled was around 2 pounds. I never tried frogging there..Maybe I need to LOL

[@LarrysFishing]

Would love to get a small box like that down here. For new anglers or people on a budget, these would be great. Fishing gear is expensive down here, when I purchased those Tokyo Rigs after seeing them on your channel, $18 for 4 and that little crankbait in the last box, easy $15. I know you didn't look impressed after opening, but I think a youngster who is in to fishing would be excited. Great job with the vid, well done Joe!

[@ParabellumFishing]

Wow really?! No wonder you go through so much bread and cheese! LOL. Seriously tho, I didn't know it was so expensive down under. Even here, the mystery subscription boxes are a good choice for new anglers. But I think even a budget angler would be better off buying off the shelf or clearance bin. Here anyway. The subscription services seem to be lacking recently. Thanks for watching Larry. if it wouldn't cost me a fortune, I'd send ya this stuff! LOL

[@LarrysFishing]

@@ParabellumFishing Yeah, $50 just to ship it over. We do have a monthly tackle club, but at $80, just not worth it for me and the lack of lure fishing I do. Thanks again and take care!

[@CoastalFeverTV]

I think you hit the nail on the head with the review Joe. Very underwhelming set of boxes. I’d rather spend the $20 on stuff I know I would use.

[@ParabellumFishing]

Thanks Doc! I'm down for a good mystery once in a while, but this just felt like I wasted money. Definitely better off buying what I know will work. Although, I may not have picked up those lizards on my own, but they look good. I may have to buy (or make) the terminal tackle to match them just to give them a throw.

[@CoastalFeverTV]

@@ParabellumFishing Yeah. Those lizards are probably the one thing I would use outta everything that came in the boxes.

[@markoharoldoronearmedpoohb7816]

The only mystery boxes I got is when I was a young man, sometimes the mystery stayed with the box, others times……………I certainly enjoy a good mystery box!

[@ParabellumFishing]

Bwahahaha!!!

[@nollieheel]

I'm watching this inside walmart haha. They are 5 bucks now. Still gonna pass. Thank you for your service

[@ParabellumFishing]

Haha! That’s funny. Glad I could help 👊🏻

[@Paul_T82]

Great video Joe! I agree with you, the second box (box 6) was the better of the two, but I don't think I will be running out to buy one anytime soon. For $10 they could have at least given you full packs instead of samples. I ordered one of the 6th Sense garage sale sacks today. Hopefully that pays off. Thanks for the video and take care man!

[@ParabellumFishing]

Agree on the full pack thing. I mean, at least the hooks. But they do sample packs in the full size boxes too so, guess I should've expected it. Good luck with the 6th sense sack. At least it'll all be 6th sense stuff, so hard to mess up. Thanks as always bud!

[@Paul_T82]

I know they do the sample packs in the subscription boxes. Just seems like full packs would make the boxes worth closer to $10. These boxes don't seem at all like a bargain, but it all made for a good video!

[@anytimefishingandoutdoors6983]

I pack of zoom soft plastics is $1.99 and there are 15-20 pieces per pack.

[@ParabellumFishing]

Agreed! And thats why I have several packs of Zoom in my tackle bag.

[@neilbonefishing]

I agree second box is better because you do get the hard bait. I think they're pretty cool for stocking stuffers, but that's about it. Good video pretty interesting 👊

[@ParabellumFishing]

Eh, even as a stocking stuffer, think I'd rather have the $10 LOL Like I said tho, I'll watch some other vids on KZbin and if any of them have anything good in them, I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for watching bro! Talk soon

[@bayoubuckoutdoors]

Well, the crank is a winner. I might try those blue worms once, just because i like the color. Lol

[@ParabellumFishing]

Yup. Paid $20 for a $8 crank. Lol. I got a pile growing for you. I’ll add the worms to it 👊🏻

[@bayoubuckoutdoors]

Sweet! #574. Lmao

[@neilbonefishing]

That's pretty cool man. I've never even seen those before. I think Karl's Bait & Tackle has some of the best marketing out there. Now this comment is before I even know what's in the box. I got to say the box is catchy.

[@ParabellumFishing]

They caught my eye on the shelf for sure. They weren't priced and I carried them around until I found the scanner thing. I was going to put them back but the wife told me to get them for a video

[@neilbonefishing]

@@ParabellumFishing Definitely made for a good video idea. Even the wife thought so 👊

[@ParabellumFishing]

@@neilbonefishing She's very supportive

[@roadendsfishing6416]

You know those would be good Christmas presents for youngsters

[@ParabellumFishing]

Eh, for the price, the regular box would be a better gift I think.

[@live2fishofficial]

Those Karl’s Amazing baits have a decent ribbon tail worm that goes on sale for $1 a pack during the holidays. That’s why I never went back to their boxes. Way too many sample packs and not full products. The MONSTERBASS boxes were a better value, but in the end I cancelled them as well. $10 isn’t a huge investment, but I like buying what I like/want over this format. That shallow crank from Arc wasn’t too bad tho. Definitely loud heavy knock to it. Good informative video, Joe! I agree with Chris - way to take one for the team brother!😂🤣 On a side note, I think that’s the first MTB unboxing video thumbnail I’ve seen that didn’t have the creators “O” face in it…😮

[@ParabellumFishing]

Well, they go on sale for $1 IF you pay them $40(?) annually to be a member. Then you can buy their branded baits at a discount. Genius! LOL I agree with the monster bass thing, but like you, I cancelled them too. I may have kept them for content alone if they had faster shipping. I would pay on the 5th and get my order on the 20th. By then, too late to make a video. I was just telling someone else how I bet I could do way better for $10 and I may try that as a follow up video. I proudly jumped on this grenade for the community! LOL And I genuinely refuse to make the "stupid thumbnail face" Although, it may have been funnier if I did. LOL Thanks Joe!!

[@live2fishofficial]

@@ParabellumFishing well, that membership actually paid for itself when I got my Jackhammers and Bucca Bill Shads replaced with their insurance, so it was 💯worth it to me

[@ParabellumFishing]

@@live2fishofficial no doubt it has its benefits and clearly I’m in the minority with my thoughts on it. Lol

[@live2fishofficial]

@@ParabellumFishing naw, you’re in the majority, I just know my toothy critters and bet accordingly 😉

[@ParabellumFishing]

@@live2fishofficial that’s fair. In fact, the jackhammer you got for me is in my tackle bag, but doesn’t get thrown in “toothy” waters.

[@JoeNajorFishing]

I have a couple Ark square bills. Those are actually great quality baits. Everything else in those boxes really don’t impress me. I stopped my tackle box subscriptions. I feel they just throw anything in there. Thanks for the review Joe. 👍

[@ParabellumFishing]

I have a couple from them too and I agree, they are pretty decent. I used to enjoy the subscription boxes. But yeah, the competition created a true decline in the quality. Thanks for watching Joe!

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Those were some boxes Joe 👍🏻

[@ParabellumFishing]

Excellent commenting friend 🥳🎉🎉🥳

[@timothyleger4385]

Great review 👏 👌

[@ParabellumFishing]

Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It cost me $20!! LMFAO!

[@fishsmack]

Nice review Mr. Joe. Thank you for saving me money! I owe you brother! I hope you are doing well brother. Be safe.

[@ParabellumFishing]

Trey my man! Good to see ya in the comments buddy! Yeah, I would absolutely pass on these. Living the dream over here! LOL. Hope all is well in your world.

[@Paul_T82]

Hey Joe. Just checking in to see how you are doing. I hope all is well.

[@ParabellumFishing]

Thanks Paul. Fishing has been slow and some other things going on. I won’t have a video this week either. Lost my mojo a little bit. But I’ll keep trying. Hope all is well on your end bud! Thanks for reaching out 👊🏻

[@Paul_T82]

I haven t been fishing in a while either. My normal spot has been just mud with the river drawn down. Hopefully you'll be able to get a few. It's definitely more difficult to get out there with the holidays just around the corner. Take care Joe and have a happy Thanksgiving!

[@ParabellumFishing]

@@Paul_T82 So true. Happy Thanksgiving buddy! I’m sure we’ll both get back to it soon! 👊🏻

[@caroferg8857]

Meh. Underwhelmed for sure. Haven’t seen those yet. And I’m ok. Thanks for sparing the rest of us Joe :):)

[@ParabellumFishing]

Yeah. I dont think these will last long on the shelves. Glad to take a hit for the team as it were! LOL

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

I think you gave the right review brother!

[@ParabellumFishing]

Thanks brother!

[@timothyleger4385]

Yeah I saw those at my local Walmart too ! I thought "MEH !"

[@ParabellumFishing]

My exact reaction in the store. Then I opened it and confirmed the feeling LOL

[@beardzerofishing]

😂🤣👍 well to answer your question... did you waste your money? I would say no! You got content for your channel for 20 bucks. You also saved others from buying them as well lol. The only thing that stood out to me was the crank. I would atleast try all the plastic out and challenge myself to catch a fish on all of them. It's funny how they just folded everything up in the box like it wouldn't affect anything lol. Those trick worms had a bad looking kink in them. Well done bro! Atleast you made it into content for your channel so it's not a loss.

[@ParabellumFishing]

I suppose it's never a waste when it leads to content. And I guess $20 isn't bad for a KZbin video budget LOL. I dont think they put a ton of thought into how they were going to pack it up. Basically they had some left over stuff that wasn't moving, so they came up with this idea I guess. Thanks as always for your support bro!

[@SJBassin]

I agree the amount of $10 wasn't worth it. I got lucky, these are only $5 at my local walmart and so far (Box 2 and 3) were pretty solid for the money. Good video and thanks for the review!

[@ParabellumFishing]

For $5 I would be pretty happy with them. In fact, maybe I’ll check for them again and see if that’s the price here now. Thanks for the heads up! Merry Christmas! 👊🏻🎄

[@SJBassin]

@@ParabellumFishing Merry Christmas to you as well

awesome thanks for sharing Mashaa Allahhhh looks like

[@ParabellumFishing]

Thanks for liking and commenting!

[@CamTheManFishinn]

Your #1 &6 are the same at my local Walmart 😂😂

[@ParabellumFishing]

Oh Im sure they are. Funny tho, I haven't seen any other numbers out there. Kinda strange. But they have that advent calendar they are promoting now. So maybe that has taken the marketing priority.

[@BreamBassBeyond]

Boxes are too hit or miss for me. I'd rather just buy what I want than take the chance. Good video though man!

[@ParabellumFishing]

I came to that same realization a bout a year ago and cancelled my subscription boxes. Saw these tho and thought I'd strike before they got played out LOL. Thanks Matt!

[@jimlima4066]

Hey Joe👊🏼👊🏼. Did you say no more MTB subscription boxes? Unique concept, not sure 🤔. Maybe for someone with less money. Karl’s just opened a store up here at Mall Of America

[@ParabellumFishing]

Did they really? Ok, I would like to shop there and check it out. Once at least. I haven't gotten MTB boxes in a while. They were the same stuff it seemed and it was piling up. Thanks Jim!

[@jimlima4066]

@@ParabellumFishing Gotcha. They opened up a few weeks ago

[@SimonSays_]

The crankbait was being sold on Karl’s website for 1$ lol. I bought 5 cranks for 5 bucks

[@ParabellumFishing]

A buddy of mine sent me that link lol. What a deal!! And I’ve noticed the box has dropped to $5. They know it’s a stinker!

[@SimonSays_]

@@ParabellumFishing yeah the mystery is wondering if you will ever get your moneys worth

[@ParabellumFishing]

@@SimonSays_ 😂😂

[@neilbonefishing]

That's funny I was thinking the same thing. If they would have put that hook in there I would have been like 10 bucks not too bad, but without that hook it definitely it's a little lackluster.

[@ParabellumFishing]

Exactly. A sample pack of a bait that specifically calls for a particular terminal tackle,...and no terminal tackle included.

[@bassboxingoutdoors]

Great video man keep up the good work boxes not worth it

[@ParabellumFishing]

Thanks buddy! Yeah I'd have to agree with you on that one.

[@SaskFisher]

"save your money" Hahah yah, maybe hey? Good to know!

[@ParabellumFishing]

Yeah, I'd save for something better. Thanks man!

[@ShaneFlintOutdoors]

I wouldn’t buy another one not worth the $$. I have never joined a tackle subscription service it seems like a good way to collect a lot of tackle I will never fish with.

[@ParabellumFishing]

I used to think for a new angler, the boxes would be a great option. Try new things, and on a set amount of money spent. But lately, the ones i've seen unboxing videos for, I wouldn't even back that statement up anymore. Thanks Shane!

[@EvansFishing]

very recommended, special

[@roadendsfishing6416]

That craw speaks to me

[@ParabellumFishing]

It’s a good lookin craw

[@josephhrnciar9376]

Definitely not worth it…..thanks for giving us a heads up what’s inside. You saved me$$!! 🍻🍻

[@ParabellumFishing]

Yeah, not for me either. Glad you enjoyed it bud. Happy to help! 👊🏻

[@coty7228]

This is one reason why I’ll never sign up for MTB, seems like all sample packs but the house brand baits. I know I’ve never seen a 2 pack of hooks for sale anywhere 🤣.

[@ParabellumFishing]

Right?! A 2 pack?! 😂 I feel ya bud. I had their subscription but canceled a long time ago. For some people they are great! Just not for everyone. Thanks for watching! I appreciate you takin the time to watch and comment 👊🏻

[@txhuntsman]

They were not a rip off really but not much over retail value either. Maybe a gift for a kid just getting into fishing or something but I can't say I would buy this for myself.

[@ParabellumFishing]

Yeah, "rip off" may be a bit harsh but not a good value, and not a "kit" as the box suggested. Maybe as a gift for a kid like you said, but even then, I think they'd be better off with a full size MTB. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate you!

[@mandogfish7418]

no hooks???

[@ParabellumFishing]

One of them had hooks, but not hooks that worked with the plastics in the box. Since I made this video, the boxes have dropped to $5. I think they know they made a mistake with this one.

[@garysfishtales]

Joe, The sticker is $5..There's your bargin..lol I won't be buying them. Thanks Buddy for saving me $.

[@ParabellumFishing]

I mean, it was a pretty great sticker...LMAO Thanks for watching bud! Save your money! LOL

[@josephscalone5402]

went to my walmart they have them for 5.98 so i got 2 of them 02 and o7

[@ParabellumFishing]

Any better? My store is also down to $6 but still only has 1 and 6.

[@thefishboneexperience7697]

Waste of money When you already tried the regular 20 dollars boxes and was already a disappointment not surprised those 10 dollars box is just as worse lol 😂 Hey you get a nice sticker for the 10 bucks

[@ParabellumFishing]

100% This was to be expected, and more of a PSA. 🤣 Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@HenriVineFishing]

For 10 bucks that's OK, but it's stuff that is probably not being sold separately. Great unboxing video but yeah, I feel why it's underwhelming!

[@ParabellumFishing]

Yeah I think I could easily do a better job spending $10 on tackle. In fact, that may be a good idea for a follow up video. LOL Underwhelming is definitely the best way to put it. Thanks Henri!

[@owlsnestoutdoors]

Nice video, but save your money 😂

[@ParabellumFishing]

If I knew then what I know now. LOL. They dont even have them available anymore I dont think.

[@mikesr.7185]

I walked passed em I gave up on them a long time ago I only get my 6th sense subscription

[@ParabellumFishing]

Don't blame ya. I got rid of that box a while ago but saw these and figured "why not?" Well, now I know why! LOL 6th sense makes some great stuff. I saw a recent unboxing and it was a great month.

[@chortlesinthecorner]

At $10 it's not really worth it unless you just want to try something different. At $6(I see people say $5, but it's $5.98) then it's actually a decent value IMO. Still, feel like at least with the hooks they could put a full 5 pack in or at least 1 headbanger head to go with the bait lol.

[@ParabellumFishing]

Seriously! One headbanger jig would’ve made all the difference! Lol!! I agree with ya. Overpriced at $10. Thanks for watching! 👊🏻

[@gspotmxgilmore5080]

Thats why I don't buy mystery boxes.. thanks joe

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

😂😂😂

[@ParabellumFishing]

I don't usually either. Think I'd learn by now but I'm sure this wont be my last mystery unboxing. I'll just look at it as this video only cost $20 to make. LOL

[@gspotmxgilmore5080]

We have spent more for less.. thanks for the video's

[@F.A.R.T]

I ain't going to lie Joe but you definitely saved me some money. I would not buy these

Happy to take a hit for the team! LOL Thanks for watching bro!

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

Thanks for spending your $20 on em so I don't have to.

[@DCOutdoors]

Sorry that these are disappointing. Moat mystery boxes you just get random junk that companies can't sell lol

[@ParabellumFishing]

It sure seems that way! I honestly didn't have high hopes but I did expect better than what it was.

[@mod-lfishingandoutdoors]

Looks like a waste of money to me. Great video tho!

[@ParabellumFishing]

I completely agree. The crank is nice, but nothing I would normally buy. And I like the lizards, but without the headbanger jig to go with them, pointless. Thanks bro! 👊🏻

[@crazycarl6922]

Good for people that are new to fishing that have no clue what there doing but that a hard pass for me

[@ParabellumFishing]

Right there with ya! At least I got a video out of it lol Thank you! 👊🏻

[@RaisedOutdoors]

$10 dollars worth of lures per box so no real value and you get stuff you won’t use…..better to spend the $20 on baits you’ll throw . Pass

[@ParabellumFishing]

Yup. My thoughts exactly. 👊🏻

[@Lowballinoutdoorz]

Definitely not worth it
