Not a tackle sale, but I know a lot of us utilize kayaks. Dick's has the YakAttack Leverage Net on clearance. Was $90, now $63. Show the website price on your phone if your store does not have them marked down and they will honor it.

I picked up a castaway 7'3" flippin stick, a daiwa spinning rod/reel combo, and a Shimano Bantam 5:1 bait caster for $30 today. 

 

You can't hardly beat pawn shops if you're patient.

Crazy deals, but this is like winning lottery. I think I have better chance browsing through Japan online flea market sites.

Rule 5b section 4: NO GLOATING, it only feeds the bait monkey and our tackle addiction.

 

Kidding aside, awesome score. Tight lines

Been eyeing those nets off for a couple years, but never pulled the trigger and just kept using my Ego net. Have the Yakattack on the way now, feel like it'll be better for netting bigger redfish and black drum.

Speaking of 'fishy' tackle shops (in this case stores with 'fish' in their name) a store called fishfield.com looks like they are having a flash sale right now and it looks like you can get a decent discount on a lot of shimano / daiwa stuff that isn't discounted as much...among other things it looks like they have that shorter daiwa swimbait rod at a 20% discount.

 

I also noticed another one 'fishermanswarehouse.com' that has some St Croix stuff at prices that look similar to what ALF had during their last 'sell it all' sale a while back...a lot of the rods are sold already from the looks of it but still some nice choices in stock if you look around.

 

Has anyone ordered from one of these places? I haven't bought from either of them before but figured I'd mention it since they seem to be running some decent discounts.

Yeah they're both legit. I've ordered from FishField many times.

A while ago another member wanted a report from someone who had bought mystery rods from Midway.  

 

Well, here you go: 

 

This past December I YOLO'd and bought a mystery rod, or four... I ordered two casting rods and two spinning rods at different price points. I put specifics below, but the conclusion is that I didn't get ripped off.  

 

First, all of the rods were St. Croix. For a Midwest boy that suits me fine. I haven't had a chance to use any of them yet.  

 

The least expense rod was advertised as a "bass crankbait casting rod minimum value $175”. Purchase price $105. I received a Mojo Bass series Carbon Cranker - 7'2" Med Heavy / Moderate. (Market Price $175-200)

 

The second rod was advertised as a"bass casting rod minimum value $200. Purchase price $120. I received a Victory series - 7'3" Heavy / Mod-Fast. (Market Price $200-275)

 

The third rod was advertised as a "bass spinning rod-2 piece, minimum value $200". Purchase price $130. I received an Avid series - 6'8" Medium / Extra Fast 2 piece. (Market Price $200-250)

 

Finally the spendy one. Advertised as a "trout and panfish spinning rod minimum value $400”. Purchase price $220. I received a Legend Elite Panfish series - 7'0" Lite / Extra Fast. (Market Price $385-410)

 

So, there you go. Four samples of the Midway mystery rods. I am overall pleased. The only disappointment is the length of the Victory rod and only because I could use a rod for carolina rigs and bigger swim baits.  

 

I paired the trout and panfish rod with a Seviin reel for a full fan boy setup. The Victory is getting an Ark7 and the Avid is TBD. Final question though: What goes on the Carbon Cranker? Options are a domestic Scorpion DC, an older JDM scorpion (IDC3), or a new JDM SLX DC XT?

@MontanaBasser I’d say you made out pretty good!

[Brian11719]

@MontanaBasser thank you for making me feel slightly less guilty about buying 2 rods within the last 24 hours.

 

Also just a heads up copperstate sent an email about their spring sale (20% off) a couple of hours ago...some items might not be included from the looks of it but Dobyns rods definitely seem to work...

Not sure if anyone fishes Clutch swimbaits but looks like the Copperstate Tackle sale applies to those too
