Super User Darren. Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Check your mailboxes, folks! BPS flyer has arrived and there are some good deals. Like Carbonlites for $70... 1 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 20, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 20, 2014 And here's a link: http://www.basspro.com/Color-Multi/Small-Price-Under-5/_/N-1z0w8b4Z8aw?cm_sp=6Hr5DyNov2014_EMAIL&om_rid=Do2Izz&om_mid=_BUbkhGB89oOdID Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 21, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 21, 2014 No close BPS's here! Ugh! Bummer that! And it is in-store only... Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted November 21, 2014 Super User Posted November 21, 2014 I went to BPS on Black Friday a few years ago. I still have nightmares about it. 2 Quote
Super User Sam Posted November 21, 2014 Super User Posted November 21, 2014 Only problem with the information in the flyer is that each store will have a minimum of 300 .22 long rifle bricks. Those will be gone in the first fifteen minutes. And I don't feel like getting in line at 5 AM to beat (or join) the crowd this year. May go on Sunday, may not. Quote
Daniel Lin Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Heads up, the Extreme combo is so cheap because it's getting phased out with a "new" Extreme reel. So far as I can tell, it's actually the 7-bearing variant of the Prolite Special with the carbon drag stack (and main gear) of the 10-bearing variant. I own both Prolite Special variants so I'm pretty sure about this. It's in the Christmas II catalog under "Online Catalogs" on the website but last time I checked there was no page on the site for it just yet. Quote

For me it is just the Carbonlite I'm interested in. Glad it is on sale for a 4 day stretch. At least I hope I'm reading it right.... Otherwise, I'm not getting up to get in line, either. Quote

It's a smooth reel, durable, versatile, and extremely light and well palmable. Quote
wordty Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 So is the Extreme combo a good deal or not? Is the reel and the rod sub-par to the originals or what? Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted November 26, 2014 Super User Posted November 26, 2014 It's definitely a good deal. I'm not much of a fan of the frame of the reel though. I like the new frames better. Quote
Trey Harpel Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 BPS Black Friday sales SUCK for fishing stuff... They always hold out till the fishing classic....TW will have 20% off and has a better selection.. Quote
