Dicks Sporting Goods Tackle Sale Countdown

[Choporoz]

Sorry.  I misread.    The rod isn't the most sensitive,  but not bad at all.  I still use it for swim jigs and frogs.

Picked up a few steals all for under 15 bucks terminator titanium SBS $1.12 each. Thanks for the info guys

...And my DSG was a disappointment as always. Virtually nothing on sale.

[snake95]

Just stopped in to my local DSG.  After reading everyone's posts and going for myself today, I'm thinking their post-holidays sale may not wind up including the deep discounts I remember from last year.  Select items, and not at every store.  Seems like they are holding at 25% off clearance to average about 50% off retail on certain very select items (or colors) nationwide at this point. I noticed that one store might have an item discounted, while another not at all (e.g. particular colors of KVD jerkbaits).  I asked a manager if they would go lower, and he said he didn't know (said it like he truly didn't know, FWIW).  Will be interesting to see if anything changes.

We're getting a DSG in the fall.  Can't wait until I have a second option that is better than wal-mart.

I toured my local DSG today and nothing was really on sale.  

[buzzed bait]

stopped in yesterday and got some jackall flick shakes for $2.60/pack and thought i'd give the scatter rap another shot so i scooped up 2 of the deep cranks for under $5 each, also found a 10' livingston crankbait in the "pro blue"  color for under $5...  

[5fishlimit]

I stopped by a larger store near my parents house and was able to get 6 packs of Jackall plastics @ $2.60/ea. 2 scissor combs in crawdad, and 2 in green pumpkin/chartreuse. 2 packages of the 5" flick shake in watermelon red flake. 

I'm happy I stopped in. I think these scissor combs will be interesting with a punch rig.

I went to one in mass and it wasn't like last year when I got a lexa and a veritas for 75 bucks and tons of tackle for real cheap. Maybe I went to late last year I went right after Christmas and it was like heaven.

[SPECIAL ENGINEER]

I stopped into one of the local DSG stores and the guy working in the fishing section was wearing a tackle warehouse long sleeve t-shirt. 

No wonder that store never has any good lures on clearance, they have a fellow addict on the payroll with first shot at all of the good stuff.

My local DSG had a bunch of the Missile Ike mini flip jigs on clearance, as well as chigger Craws. I bought 10 jigs and 3 packs of the Craws. Great deal.

DSG clearance going into February?  I went last week thinking it was over in January and found a stash of 7 bags of KVD Dreamshots in Morning Dawn and Brown Purple for like $1.70/bag.  I wiped them out because I use the Dreamshots, in those colors, regularly!

[Allen Der]

the DSG by me sucks.  when it first opened 5ish years ago it had a nice fishing department but it has shrunk every year since.  only thing I buy there is line when they have good sales

[BaitMonkey1984]

The two DSG by me very rarely have good tackle sales. I was visiting my brother and had $90.00 in scorecard rewards so I stopped by the DSG near him. I got some really good deals on a few Livingston Lures (lipless cranks and the howlers) which were marked from $12 to 6. Other than that, a few boo yeah buzz baits for $2.00 and that was it for lures.

I did fare well with terminal tackle. The VMC hooks were already on sale and then they were an additional 25% off. I love my gammys, but I break off before my hooks wear dull and straight outage pack I think these VMCS are equivalent. So I bought all the wacky hooks, trailer hooks, swimsuit hooks, and flipping hooks they had. I would have bought more but that was all they had. Somewhere around 30 packs of hooks. I should be pretty set for hooks this year, and looking forward to finally trying out tungsten. 

[BannedForSpamming-1234555]

I wish we had these deals up here in Canada.

The sales we have up here are pretty sad.

[ranger7717]

seems like us northern guys don't get much love from dick's - they're just like all the big stores....sit around in meetings deciding what we need by demographics....bass pro isn't much better. they've decided to sell mostly johnny morris and bps more than anything else. you used to be able to get anything you wanted from them years ago. corporate america rules !!

[Big Bait Fishing]

you guys are lucky ! the two DSG stores out in my area of San Diego , Ca . both don't sell ANY fishing stuff , the stores are worthless .....

[snake95]

Stopped in today.  Still had the same baits on clearance as they've had for over a month (many of them have been on "clearance" back to early October) -- whatever was left.  The store I went to said the 25% additional off is now over.  Not sure what they'll do with the remaining "clearance" stuff.  

Here in north Georgia and the Carolinas I have seen some decent prices at the various DSG stores, especially when they have their periodic sales   As other posters stated, it turned out January was not as good as a year ago, but there were a few decent deals here and there.  

[Borderline11]

I found a quantum smoke on sale, but they only had the floor model left.  When they went to find the box, they couldn't locate the side knob so they sold the reel to me for $30.  The side know cost me 2 bucks from quantum.  Can't beat that.

[Last_Cast]

I wish my DSG had good stuff.. Around me thats pretty much all I get as far as a fishing store.
I tend to stick to shopping online. 
Hopefully one day it gets better!

[seyone]

i think i paid about $45 with markdowns,+ 50% off

[blckshirt98]

Nice haul!  Is this from back in January or is your DSG giving 50% off clearance right now?

[seyone]

This was from this Thursday 

[Philo Beddoe]

I stopped at a DSG near Cincinnati and was amazed at the stuff they had. It blew away the ones I go to here in Louisville. Only picked up one square bill, a kvd 1.5 in pb&j color.  I'd never even seen that color anywhere online.

[xDirty]

Interesting thread im gonna look around more next time i go to dicks
