Gander Mountain Sale

[Lunker Chunker 88]

I just saw that gander mountain is having a big fishing sale and I'm not sure if there is already a thread for this but I was wondering if you guys went and what you got and if there are any good deals that make it worth going to.

Thanks for telling me! I think I'll head over there now.

 

I regularly go to Bass Pro, Dick's and Gander Mountain, and Sports Authority, and Gander Mountain always has large clearance bins in the aisles as does Bass Pro, but Gander Mountain has a much better selection usually. Sports Authority comes in next, and Dick's is always in last place on my list.

Theres a memorial sale on tw? Darn it I just put in my 100 dollar order a few days ago.

[Brnnoser6983]

There had been in the past. 15%, there is a 4th of July sale to I think

[A KGB Operative]

Oh. I usually get 15% off anyways. Military discounts. The small things

I picked up some clearance dt6s and dt10s, and some full price shadow raps

I went to Gander Mountain yesterday and saw nothing worth bragging about. Better deals online if you're persistent.

I got a *** green spinning rod and a Humminbird 798ci si for $499!

[FloridaFishinFool]

Not the greatest sale, but a few good deals.

 

Some of their own brand Gander Mountain rods were on clearance for $19.99 each so I got a couple of those. Some lures were discounted 75% including Rapala deep diving cranks...

 

One thing that surprised me was they had a Shimano Curado 300EJ on display that no longer functioned. The spool would not turn when the handle was cranked even with the drag increased. But the spool would release for cast spinning freely, but once engaged the handle would not turn the spool. I was kind of surprised they would even keep a broken reel on display like that.

 

Another thing that bugged me about all the reels was how many of them were missing the cast control knobs which had been removed and stolen off more than half of the reels. I guess this is a common thing found in all reel displays in all the stores.

 

Gander Mountain has the best lure clearance bins of any sporting goods store!

The guys that work there are usually cool, I always ask if they have any hidden deals, same at Dicks, you find crazy stuff that way, Gander is hit or miss, Sports Authority is king when they shut down a department with up to 90% off, Man those were the days when we had 3 in tampa, was 75 plus 10% coupon so 85%, I grabbed all braid and expensive lures and made a pretty penny and got to keep more stuff I didn't need for free.

 

 

BPS had some deals the other day but I knew if I opened the wallet then I would go to Gander and Dicks and I was in the Orlando region which is worse with bridgemasters and all the clearance stuff from past few years in one place.

 

Gander rods were good this year, price was on point and mine held up and I got them for $29 last few with dings but were the Torray blanks that sold for over $100 and felt nice. Gander Reels used to be Pinnacle so I could order parts but now they are using *** in Tampa for some and they are outsourcing them so they are junk, but I had old Guide series reels that had pinnacle on the schematic and I was able to fix my baitcaster last year by using the parts from the Pinnacle Inertia but now it is some name I forget, but Tampa fishing or 13 is getting down with the new stuff and responsible for tampa store since they sell to my buddies store same reels.
