J.Bass Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I went to Bass Pro Shop Fishing Classic Sale on Friday Feb 22nd. I Was going to buy Revo Stx Baitcaster... Then I felt and touched the Abu Revo Mgx Baitcaster only 5.3 ounces! I was sold! I bought a Abu Garcia Revo MGX Baitcaster 7:1:1 in picture below What Reel or Rod did you buy? or will be buying?

Diggy Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Congrats on the reel, bet youll love it. I cant buy anything now, between v day and my friends wedding.....im broke! Quote
0119 Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Congrats on the reel, bet you got a good deal with all the trade-in, coupons they were handing out etc. I took Roadwarriors comment that I was an old stick in the mud to heart and picked up a Revo S and matching Veritas rod. Too good a deal to pass up with $15 trade in value, 10% off, quadruple preferred customer points and $20 off the rod. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted February 23, 2013 Super User Posted February 23, 2013 Man I am super jealous. Those MGX's are a piece of art Quote
J.Bass Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Congrats on the reel, bet youll love it. I cant buy anything now, between v day and my friends wedding.....im broke! Thanks alot! I looked extensively at a lot of reels. They had a shimano and abu garcia rep there. Talked to both. When I picked up the abu revo Mgx I knew I wanted it. Congrats on wedding! I will purchase my tackle items when my tax return comes in. Happy shopping! Quote

Too good a deal to pass up with $15 trade in value, 10% off, quadruple preferred customer points and $20 off the rod. Yes I got 50 bucks off with trade in. Also congrats on reel! They were selling alot of Revo S Baitcasters. Man I am super jealous. Those MGX's are a piece of art Yes thank you. That's what I said when I touched it. I had the money and couldn't pass up the opportunity. Im going to pair it with a St. Croix Legend Xtreme MHM 7'2 Rod. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted February 23, 2013 Super User Posted February 23, 2013 Congrats on the new reel. I'm sure you will love it. No BPS around here. Had hoped to pick up a few plastics at one of the Online sales. Some tungsten wights and swimbait heads as well. Last 2 weeks I have purchased 4 rods and 2 reels plus a few smaller items. Well the macro lens wasn't a small item, but wanted to be able to take closeups since I plan on starting to do some of my own reel maintenance. Guess the plastics and weights will have to wait for the next sale. Quote
dias869 Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 That's going to be an awsome rod and reel combo, nice pick up. Quote
Greenstealth Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Great great reel. I got one last year, Had a blast with it, I'm getting it tuned up as we speak. I bought the revo premier and a PQ. I wanted to get a 100 mgfv core and my crappy bps had none, nor did they have the regular 100, nor did they have a 50 other than the display model which they weren't willing to discount at all. I hate bps.If I didn't have a ton of gift cards from birthdays and christmas, I wouldn't shop there at all. It's hard to say no to a new premier and pq for $200. Btw my mgx (when it gets back) sits on a 6'8" mf xtreme. Ridiculous setup. Congrats on your purchase you wont be dissapointed Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 23, 2013 Super User Posted February 23, 2013 Nice. Should serve the cause well! Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted February 24, 2013 Super User Posted February 24, 2013 I went up today and picked up a PQ in the 4.7:1 ratio for cranking, some dt series rapalas and power pro. Place was packed for sure. Quote

There's always time for fishing! Thanks all. I love it already and haven't fished yet. Ice frozen here *sigh* Quote

Hanover_Yakker Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I'm actually volunteering with the Central VA Heroes On the Water group at the local BPS here in Central VA. I took a few minutes at the end of the day and snagged a few small terminal tackle items and some line but avoided any large purchases. I figured I would snag a spool of the Seguar Kanzen braid and wanted to give it a try. Also snagged some more PLine Flourclear and Yozuri Hybrid. Quote
fl_bass Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I picked up a PQ reel, veritas rod and yo-zuri line. Bait monkey happy for now. Lol Quote
Flukeman Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I was waiting for the rod trade in to go, but a friend talked me into riding along so he could buy some reels. He got 1 MGX and 3 Premiers (it was all the Premiers they had). I did check out that new Bionic baitcast combo after the conversation on here. I must say for $69 it felt like a nice set up, of course someone will have to fish it to really know. But for that price I think a guy starting out can't go wrong, and it may prove to be a great buy for experienced guys as well. the one I picked up was nicely balanced. I picked up some Shad Raps, swimbait jigheads, tungsten bullet weights, XPS Floro, rod socks, and some Kermy's. I will be there again for the rod trade-in and my juniors are volenteering there the last weekend. So I am in for some more bait monkey time! Quote
Blues19 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I got a Revo S. Almost got a Veritas. Tryin to wait for the rod trade in though Quote

coak Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 So far I've picked up a BPS Extreme casting reel in the 5:1 ratio. I'm waiting for the rod trade in next week......it's either going to be a carrot stix ml or st. croix premier ml casting rod. Still haven't made the decision......will wait to throw a reel on'em in store and see how they both feel in hand. Quote
