WiregrassRiverRat Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I know labor day is approaching and TW will be having a sale.. I am trying to get things as cheap as possible.. Will this be the best time.. or Do you guys wait till a specific time to get your gear at good prices? Any suggestions.. other stores and deals etc? Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted August 20, 2013 Super User Posted August 20, 2013 Get on the email lists of all the major online tackle shops and they will let you know when they're having a big sale. To me, the sale that is going on when I have extra money to blow is the best sale. 1 Quote
Super User bigbill Posted August 20, 2013 Super User Posted August 20, 2013 This is the time right now to start browsing. I think these sellers aren't waiting for the end of the season or till after New year's to have there clearance sale. Dicks Sporting Goods usually puts a table in from of there fishing section with deals and steals on reels and rods. Wal-Mart already has sales on reels. It's listed on there website with the in-store pickup. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted August 20, 2013 Super User Posted August 20, 2013 They will have a good sale for Thanksgiving and for Christmas if you can wait, but they are all usually 15% or so Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted August 20, 2013 Super User Posted August 20, 2013 Black Friday sales are generally the best in terms of greatest percentage discounts offered. Labor day will be a good sale as well. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted August 20, 2013 Super User Posted August 20, 2013 You will get the best deals on closeouts. Wait a bit and the prices go even lower, but you will be severely limited in your selection. Usually they will be down to 1-3 rod selections by then. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted August 20, 2013 Super User Posted August 20, 2013 The best time to buy fishing tackle is when you've got spare money to buy fishing tackle. Yeah, a few times per year Tackle Warehouse and other major on-line retailers will have good sales, but the chance that they will have what you want is problematic. Besides, I can't buy rods & reels on-line, unless I am getting something that I am already familiar with. I've got to touch and play with the rods & reels prior to buying them, that's just me. For my, that means buying local at brick & mortar stores. I have used on-line prices to negotiate a deal. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted August 20, 2013 Super User Posted August 20, 2013 BPS has a lot of stuff in there outlet section. Mister Twister has added more stuff too. This is my favorite time to spread the wealth and shop smart. We get more fishing stuff for less money. But don't go to crazy with the bait monkey on your back, don't buy what you don't use. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted August 20, 2013 Super User Posted August 20, 2013 Buy TW giftcards when they have their 15% sale off giftcards. Then wait until they have one of their sales, and you can apply the cheap giftcard on the sale prices. 1 Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted August 20, 2013 Super User Posted August 20, 2013 black friday is my favorite time to buy. late winter/spring seems to hold the best discounted prices /w shows going on and the classic beginning. Bass.Tackle. Depot seems to have the highest % discount most of the time but some reels/rods aren't always on sale. TW will usually price match though and their shipping is top notch. Quote

JeziHogg Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Black Friday defiantly, also look at St Croix's webpage from time to time and check out there bargain bin. I got the Legend Xtreme (Cork split grip w/ recoil guides) for $198 shipped, retails for $400. Quote
einscodek Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 How often do they do giftcard sales? I have never seen one I got a TW giftcard when they were offering one for father's day I believe.. either that or easter? Either way this year cause I spent that on some nice lures I liked. Quote

Bill B. Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Does TW offer a gift-card discount in the fall? The only one I can recall seeing is the Father's Day discount. Last Labor Day, gift cards were excluded from the discount. I'd like to buy some discounted cards to use during the clearance sales this winter. Quote

If I'm not mistaken, It's Fathers Day and again either Black Friday or closer to Christmas Quote
Bill B. Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I asked Santa for $5,000 worth of TW gift cards, but Santa just laughed and rolled her eyes. Quote
bassin is addicting Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Buy TW giftcards when they have their 15% sale off giftcards. Then wait until they have one of their sales, and you can apply the cheap giftcard on the sale prices X2...or 3....or 4.. whatever it is by now. you get 15%...then another 15% off when they have sales...no sales tax...and free shipping... that is when the bait monkey is the happiest.
