Hawghead Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 You can get the previous models of the XPS Extreme rods for like $63. Got my first Baitcasting model yesterday. Quote
Branuss04 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 If you can get ahold of him I would talk to "The Natural"... he seemed to always find the "good deals" :-X Quote

Super User Sam Posted January 10, 2010 Super User Posted January 10, 2010 Check out their discounted or discontinued items for some good deals. Look at the catalog for the items you are considering, write down the page number, and if the catalog prices are less than the store prices, have the clerk look it up and they will give you the catalog price. Big BPS sale coming in March so I am holding out until then. In the Richmond, Virginia area we are blessed to have Green Top, where the selection is far better than anything BPS has and Green Top is having their sale beginning this Wednesday to coincide with the Richmond Fishing Expo this weekend. Let us know what you get at BPS. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 10, 2010 Super User Posted January 10, 2010 The Memphis BPS has 1000 yard spools of Yo-Zuri Hybrid on sale for around $5. 8-) Quote

Indiana Bass1 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I started making out my list for BPS spring classic last night. I hope the Pro Qualifier is on sale during the classic I have a couple of them on the list. Pretty nice reel for the money. Looking at the list I better start working some overtime. ;D Quote

Let us know what you get at BPS. x2 BPS has made some changes to their rods and reels for 2010, and last year's gear can be a great buy...if it's something that you actually need. Don't buy it just because it's on clearance. It doesn't matter how good of a deal it is, it's a waste of money if you don't have a use for it. I've noticed several of their rods are now sporting PacBay guides, like the new CarbonLite, Extreme, and Micro Lite rods. I picked up last year's 7' ML Micro Lite spinning rod for about $28 last week, because it has the older aluminum oxide guides instead of the flimsy all metal PacBay guides like the new Micro Lite. I needed a new floating worm rod anyway, so I jumped on it. Quote

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted January 10, 2010 Super User Posted January 10, 2010 last time i was there i got a tungsten flippin weight, a pack of 10" anacondas, and a knife sharpener. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted January 10, 2010 Super User Posted January 10, 2010 last time i was there i got a tungsten flippin weight, a pack of 10" anacondas, and a knife sharpener. Dang Dave, I thought I was the only one that bought the weights one at a time. That stuff blows my budget fast. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted January 11, 2010 Super User Posted January 11, 2010 I agree that rummaging through the discounted/discontinued stuff can yield big savings. Most of the time there is not much worth looking at, but last spring I found 5 or 6 bags of decent jig heads that I use for wacky rigging, for $1 a bag. Quote
SuthernProg Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Hey Sam, Same place this year? The raceway complex? Do you know the times and wether or not there's an entrance fee? Thanks. Marion Quote
Bassnajr Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I gave up on Bass Pro....and the store in Foxboro doesn't have ANY clearance area. I'll order on line, but I hear their shipping has gone up as well. I am taking the hour plus ride to Cabela's in Connecticut on Friday. People say there are better deals there in the Bargain Cave....we'll see!! : Quote
Indiana Bass1 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I was at a cabelas a few weeks ago and the bargain cave was a joke. All they had was a bunch of broken rods that I would not of paid 5 bucks for the whole lot. It was my first time to visit a cabelas and I was not impressed. I will admit though, they had a nice section for the reels to be displayed. Quote
rondef Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 BPS Laser Eye Nitro (The Egg), I have caught some big girls with them. The last one was 6lbs 1oz fishing with Roadwarrior. Quote
JKarbo214 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I am hoping to make it to the Bass Pro Shop in Foxboro for the Spring Fishing Classic. I went a few weeks ago and couldn't find any clearance area there as well, I'm not sure why they don't have one. Has anyone attended the fishing classic in the past and how are the deals? Quote
Bassnajr Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 OK Was at the BPS in Foxboro last week. The clearance such that it is, is mixed in with all the other items, so you have to look THROUGHOUT the store to find any "deals". Stock was limited. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted January 24, 2010 Super User Posted January 24, 2010 I'm going pretty soon as well....I'm stocking up on the new rage tail products....specially the eeliminator and smoking rooster.After that probably some more hooks and weights,never can have too much of that. Quote

I just got back yesterday from the 2 hr round trip. Only picked up a pack of Smokin Roosters and Space Monkeys. Also picked up a Rapala Twitchin Rap (best subsurface walking bait) and some pre rigged c-rigs since I'm too lazy to make them myself. Quote

The Atl. store does the same thing, but they also have a dedicated clearance area. For some odd reason, it's in an area that many anglers would never go thru. They stuck it at the end of the aisle where they keep the kids' combos, over by the saltwater tackle. Quote
