tater555 Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I got a daiwa tdz 103h, daiwa capricorn 2000 (the good silver one, not the dicks exclusive) an okuma vs20, and a daiwa minispin off of eBay for $50. I could not believe it when that auction ended haha I just knew that someone was gonna out bid me at the last second, but somehow they didnt. That was my best deal, but I bought a used lews tournament pro off of there for $50 also. This spring i bought a brand new lews lazer speed spool combo from dsg for $42 Quote
*Hank Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 I was very impressed by My diawa tatula type R! It's a workhorse, no problems at all... Quote
cbass12 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Pflueger Supreme XT 9230 from cabelas for $89 yesterday. When I ordered it there were only 12 left, at least that's what the confirmation email told me, and now you can't even find them on their website. Great deal!!!! Quote
illinifan4152 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Brand new shimano crucial 7'2 mhxf (blk with eva grips) $65 after tax from dicks sporting goods Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted December 23, 2014 Super User Posted December 23, 2014 Years back when I decided to have rods custom made instead of buying stock rods , you get exactly what you want and don't have to compromise !!! What can be better than that ??? !!!! Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted December 23, 2014 Super User Posted December 23, 2014 In stores daiwa lexas 42$ each and rods 3 brent chapmans 9.98$ each.yards sales 1 to 10 bucks for abus and a few falcons,croixs for less then 20 .list goes on im guessing i have only paid retail for a handful of rods or reels in my lifetime.

Super User Bankbeater Posted December 24, 2014 Super User Posted December 24, 2014 A couple of years ago the local bait store was getting rid of their old inventory. I picked up a new Revo-S for $50. Quote
cyclops2 Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Age has taught me that when I wanted & paid the asking prices for top names I was disappointed MANY TIMES for any reason. I expected perfect items. Now I realize that a rod from Sports Authority can be a spectacular buy !!.. Works perfect for years. Everyday. All summer. I am retired. At 1 / 10 the price LOVE the very good low cost rods & reels. Cheap can ONLY get better & better each day Most expensive ? Can only pee me off everytime I look at it if it has any problem. Quote

Super User new2BC4bass Posted December 24, 2014 Author Super User Posted December 24, 2014 I was very impressed by My diawa tatula type R! It's a workhorse, no problems at all... Gotta agree. A great reel for the money. Although I got mine for just under $131 it still isn't my best buy as I got on my Curado 51E for $98 shipped on closeout. Hot dog !! Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted December 24, 2014 Author Super User Posted December 24, 2014 Man. Lots of great deals. Too many to comment on. Only wish I could be as lucky as some of you guys were. Congratulations to all of you for the great finds. This has been a fun thread to read through. Always nice to see when someone makes out like a bandit.........................without needing a gun.

tater555 Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 I bought a new quantum exo 100hpt for $75 and just picked up a shimano clarus for $50. Now I'm just waiting on ups and usps to bring them. Last track on my exo was in Oklahoma on Dec 20, it's now the 24th and hasn't updated since. Gotta love the usps priority mail. Good thing it wasn't someone's Christmas present Quote
Batson Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 New I bought 2 Fuegos from TW when they were closing them out at $144 and one Curado 51E from ohya an closeout at $98. Sure could kick myself for not stretching my funds to the limit by buying a couple more 51Es. I also took advantage of TW's closeout of the T3 1016 reels. I like using the T-wing and the brakes are fantastic on these reels. Used (and cheap) were some 1600C round reels and a couple older "gold" Carbonlites. Both outperform their price by a wide margin. In rods one of my best buys was a Rainshadow RX7. Love this rod. Managed to pick up a couple Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth casting rods the first year they came out for $71 shipped. Another case of wishing I bought at least 2 of each model. ORdered a ML Tatula rod over the weekend from Walmart that ran just over $94 with tax. I expect this rod to be a favorite in its power range based on how much I like the first Tatula rod I bought. Almost forgot the new Quantum 6'10" HF Superlite and Tour Edition. Not a lot of use for a Heavy rod in my area, but I sure like these rods, and the price was fantastic. Thank you for the love!! FYI, we have a whole line up of rod blanks. We are also getting custom rod builders around the globe to offer custom rods built to what customers like on their rods. Check out our lineup: www.rainshadowrodblanks.com Quote

FloridaFishinFool Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 A couple of months ago I walked into a pawn shop and found a brand new condition 7'11" Irod "Fred's Crank Launcher" model that retails for $150.00, and on it was a like new Shimano curado 200G7. The price tag on it said $89.99. Once I had it in my hands I knew I was not putting it back. So I walked up to cashier and asked her if she would take all the cash I had in my wallet at the time which was 3- $20.00 bills. $60.00 cash even. She looked into her computer and said that she could still make her margin with the $60.00 and she was motivated to sell it and she let me have it for the $60.00 I had on me. So I turned around and sold the Shimano 200G7 on ebay for $90.00 in a buy now offer. In the end, I wound with a nice $150.00 Irod for FREE plus an extra $30.00 cash in my pocket. I thought I was doing pretty good with that one. Quote
