Sticks0808 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Alright guys a need help making a decision. Should I go with a Diawa Lexa 100 for $69.99 PLUS a $10 gander mountain giftcard. OR Ardent Apex Tournament PLUS a $100 gander mountain giftcard? I know the Lexa is a better reel, I really don't know much about Ardent. I need to make my decision by the end of the day. Any and all input welcomed. Thanks guys Quote
paul. Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 i've got 2 lexas. love 'em. i can't speak for the ardent, although i have picked them up and fooled with them and they feel legit. they are crazy light too. both are good reels and i don't think you'll go wrong either way. i'd say if reel weight is an issue, go with the ardent. if not, i'd take the lexa.

Sticks0808 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Well at my Gander Mountain they are giving away a $100 giftcard with the purchase of an Ardent Apex. I was skeptical at first because how can they sell a reel for $100 bucks then give you a $100 giftcard? I asked a sells associated and he confirmed that was the promo they are running. So, I guess the question is does the $100 giftcard justify getting the slightly inferior reel... Quote
Dylcook91 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Get the reel that gives you the $100 card, then use the card to buy the other reel. You then get two reels for the price of one. Problem solved 8 Quote
5fishlimit Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Get the Ardent, and use the $100 gift card to buy the Lexa. 2 Quote
Penguino Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Where are you seeing that Ardent deal at? On Gander's website, it states that for the 99$ Apex Tournament, you will also receive only a 15$ gift card. Quote
Sticks0808 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 It was an in store promo. It said it on a sign right by the reels. It didn't make sense to me, but the sales associate confirmed. Unless he didn't know what he was talking about which could be possible. Quote
jhoffman Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Get the ardent, get the gift card, ebay the ardent, buy a lews Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Get the Ardent, sell it for a bit of money, use that plus the gift card to buy a nicer reel. Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted March 7, 2015 Super User Posted March 7, 2015 For sure buy what gets you the $100 card. Not even sure why that is a question.... Quote
Brandon Moss Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Buy the Ardent, get the $100 then buy a nicer reel, sell the Ardent. Unless you like it, then you virtually got it for free. Quote
SenkoGuru Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 this should not even be a question. From you have told us they are going to give you the Apex for free. WoW, I think someone might lose their job over this one. 1 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted March 7, 2015 Super User Posted March 7, 2015 Why don't they just put a sign in front of the Ardents, "FREE, TAKE ONE". Hootie 3 Quote
kadas Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Why don't they just put a sign in front of the Ardents, "FREE, TAKE ONE". Hootie LOL--this was my exact thought Hootie!! Quote
