No close BPS's here!  Ugh!

 

Bummer that! And it is in-store only...  :(

I went to BPS on Black Friday a few years ago. I still have nightmares about it.

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.

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.

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.

Noticed this also. I really like my 10 bearing Prolite. It's a smooth reel, durable, versatile, and extremely light and well palmable.

So is the Extreme combo a good deal or not?  Is the reel and the rod sub-par to the originals or what?

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.
