The only way you can get on my good side is to mail me a couple and have me send you the cash. ;D Quote
bigtimfish Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Ya know, I honestly feel sorry for you guys out there that don't have an academy store around. I have always wondered why they don't have internet sales. It's a shame. Quote

L a r r y Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Dag gummit....I was in there looking for the frog kit and could not find it in my local Academy :-/ Quote
MattinOK Posted December 13, 2009 Author Posted December 13, 2009 Dag gummit....I was in there looking for the frog kit and could not find it in my local Academy :-/ Did you ask an associate? Sometimes they hide the good deals at my Academy, and I have to ask. For example: On Black Friday I wanted to buy one of the six piece swimbait kits for $30. They had it on an end-cap BEHIND the rods on that end-cap. It took me three different stock monkeys to find it. Quote
bigtimfish Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Sometimes you really really have to hunt for what you want. At our local store they stock the Spro frogs by where they sale pistols. No where near anything that has to do with fishing. Quote
-nick- Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I wish I could trade my crappy local dick's sporting goods for an academy. They would make so much money off of internet sales it's not even funny, ESPECIALLY since they don't have many stores. Quote
okiefisher8 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 went and picked up the crankbait kit today for my brother. Trying to start him his own tackle box. Figured it would be a good christmas present. Thanks for the heads up on these deals Quote
L a r r y Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I'll be sure to ask one of stock monkeys when I stop by on my way home tonight. Quote

These have great salt content and shimmy. You are right... excellent deals this year! Better than last year, I think. I stock up at Academy this time of year. I also got a 5 piece lipless set for $10, as well as a 5 pc jointed swimbait and 5 pc jointed shad sets for $29 each on Black Friday Quote

Bigbub Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 The only Dick's I've been to has a selection one step below Wal-Mart's. Quote
Bassnajr Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 OK I am putting it out there....... I think the guys that live near an Academy should help the guys who don't have one near them. :-[ I, for one, would be willing to compensate my fellow BR brother who was willing to help me with, oh..say..lures for themselves for their troubles. I'm just saying!!! Quote

The Dicks here has a selection that is one step up from Wal-mart. That's not good. The one here has just about any lure you could want. A good selection of good rods. The only thing that is lacking is reels. Quote

Unless you can get lucky on ebay. Quote

Crowcommander Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I know Dick's and they don't have near the selection or prices as Academy in our area of Central Arkansas. Quote
