paulmandude Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Pumped to have gotten some Havoc baits for $1.50 at Dicks a couple days ago. I believe the sale ends 7/23 or something around there - it's 25% off clearanced priced items. The baits I got were Craw Fattys in Louisiana Bug, and Hawg Hawg in green pumpkin/blue and smokey green pumpkin. Never tried these baits but have good reviews... Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted July 11, 2012 Super User Posted July 11, 2012 is it all clearance items cuz that's how I got my citica for 45 bucks last year and hoping to do it again this year but stock up on revo's but if its just baits that wont work Quote
paulmandude Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 the sign and ad says clearance fishing equipment and lures 25% off... Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted July 11, 2012 Super User Posted July 11, 2012 hmmmm interesting time to send the wife on a mission Friday Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted July 12, 2012 Super User Posted July 12, 2012 anything ending in .97 or .47 is clearance and an additional 25% off the red tag. Look closely to others though, sometimes a clearance item doesn't have a red tag there and you can miss a sweet deal. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted July 12, 2012 Super User Posted July 12, 2012 There aren't many good deals as far as rods and reels go. Last year there were a bunch of baitcasters from Shimano on clearance because they redid their lineup. This year there are some Shimano spinning reels on clearance. I think it's just the Symetre and Saros models that are marked for clearance. As far as rods, there may be a few St Croixs but that varies a lot between stores and then some cheapo Daiwa and Field and Stream rods and a few Carrot Stix and Skeet Reese rods. Also, the Daiwa Takara baitcasters and spinning reels. Other than that, it's mostly terminal and lures. I saw a lot of Strike King (Rage Tail and otherwise) some Zoom, some YUM, a bit of Powerbait, a BUNCH of Havoc, some Strike King hardbaits, some Bandit, some Xcalibur, lots of Rapala, some colors of the Reaction Innovations Kinky Beavers, some Terminator spinnerbaits and buzzbaits, and a little bit of Big Bite stuff. For the most part, there will be unmarked clearance stuff. There's just far too much of it to go through and find all of the lures that dropped to clearance. Some stores will be better at others than separating the clearance from the regular price stuff. Quote
shaun_reid Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Talked to a guy at dicks today that said everything will go to 50% off the clearance items on the 15th Quote
Super User Dan: Posted July 13, 2012 Super User Posted July 13, 2012 Talked to a guy at dicks today that said everything will go to 50% off the clearance items on the 15th For what it's worth, that might be regional. I have not heard any such communication as of yet. Quote
CalebWVU Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I've been busy working so haven't had any time to get out to Dicks yet this week. My buddy swears he saw a Abu Garcia Pro Max with Vengeance Rod combo on sale for $60, but that seems too cheap to make sense. I'm thinking it was either a vengeance rod with a shoddy reel or a Pro Max reel with a shoddy rod lol. Not that either are exactly top of the line, but for $60 I'd pick up that combo regardless. Just from looking at catalogs, it doesn't seem like they have much Shimano or other high end rods/reels on clearance, although there are a few Rapala hardbaits I'd like to pick up for ~$3. Quote
Super User deep Posted July 13, 2012 Super User Posted July 13, 2012 Mine didn't have any baits on sale yesterday. Didn't check out the rods/ reels though. Quote

Yes, those combos were on sale for $79 plus a $20 rebate that makes them $59 Quote
Super User Dan: Posted July 14, 2012 Super User Posted July 14, 2012 Mine didn't have any baits on sale yesterday. Didn't check out the rods/ reels though. At the very least they should have had regular price lures buy 4 get 1 free. As for the clearance, like I said, some stores are better than others at pulling out and labeling the clearance. I'm sure they have clearance they probably just haven't scanned it and separated it from the rest. Quote

I didn't see any clearance items marked, so probably they haven't separated it from the rest, like you say. Quote
paulmandude Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 looked at the online flyer and didn't see 50% off clearance fishing tackle/lures. the 25% off sale was in last weeks though. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted July 15, 2012 Super User Posted July 15, 2012 Clearance lures, terminal, and flies are now ringing 50% off the clearance price. (price ending in .97) Quote
shaun_reid Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Clearance lures, terminal, and flies are now ringing 50% off the clearance price. (price ending in .97) X2 Went in today and picked up some stuff for 50% off clearance price. Get it while you can! Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted July 16, 2012 Super User Posted July 16, 2012 Last year this is how I got my citica for $45 I just told the wife to go try and find me some revo's Quote
Super User Dan: Posted July 17, 2012 Super User Posted July 17, 2012 No Revos. The only clearance reels are gonna be the Shimano Symetre, Saros, and Sahara. Other than that there may be a few stores with some random Quantum Tour Editions that have been on clearance for a while but it's unlikely. Quote

You missed out! There are virtually no clearance baitcasters left worth talking about...and I've looked, believe me. *EDIT* I just checked again and there are something like 100+ Citica201E out there, about 100+ Quantum Tour Editions (combining high speed and reg. speed) about 40 Revo SX LH and that's pretty much it.

GoneFishi'n Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I got my quantum nitrous combo from there for 29.99! I don't know if it's a good baitcaster for a beginner though. Can someone tell me if it is an alright reel and rod for the price? The reel is like super smooth. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted July 19, 2012 Super User Posted July 19, 2012 My cousin had that combo last year. Worked well for a few trips and the reel just went to hell. I think some teeth inthe gears were grinding down or broke off. It only cost him around 20$ so he just chalked it up to a loss and trashed it. Quote
CalebWVU Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I went today after missing out on a citica last night. Dicks had 2 citica 201e models left, and I managed to buy one for $60. I can't wait to get it set up and get started, especially at this price! Quote
