How was your shipping experience? My rod arrived in a very bent tube...

Rods showed up on time and the tubes were in perfect condition. 

[tim_kovar]

This was my rod tube from the Midway sale.  It was busted up in the middle and barely intact.  Somehow the rod was okay though....for now.

I am waiting on a new spinning reel to come in from Japan and was needing some line.  I fished with a guy today that uses Sunline Xplasma Braid and he loves this stuff.  I had never seen it before and I have been one to stay clear of braid on spinning gear.  But when I found a 600 yard spool of 16lb on Amazon for $44.00 instead of $76 at Tackle Warehouse, I thought> it will last me forever and I can't beat the price.   We will see how it goes.

Yeah, there was nothing wrong with it, unless ALF is a no-no now, or we aren't allowed t post monkey pictures. Either way it'd be nice to get an explanation if there was something wrong with it so we'll know for future reference. 

Repost it!!!     Ill blame you for buying another reel!!

Outlet bait and tackle has a decent deal on 1/4 oz spinnerbaits. They have 2 and 4 packs. One of the 2 packs is 6.58ish, but they only let you buy 5. The other 2 packs are 8 and change. I was also a first time customer so got an extra 10% off.

Looking for my first fishing kayak. Probably perception pescador pro 10ft. Anyone know any place I can get a deal on one??  Cheers!

Does anyone have a $5 discount code for tackle warehouse? I’m $3 off from being able to use my PayPal to buy a new rod. Help a guy out!

Daiwa Revros M spinning combo on sale for $49.99 at a local sporting goods chain here in St. Louis. Please buy all of these up so that the rack of them in the store will stop tempting me every time I go in, even though I have absolutely no need for another M spinning combo right now.

I received one of my 2 rods today, in a very bent and damaged tube. I have no idea where the other rod is as the tracking info doesnt work. No one is there to answer phone calls, the live chat never works and havent received a reply to any of my emails.......

I got mine in a big box with the 3 rod rod tubes in it. All were in good condition. But the stone cold spook and trap was wrong. I ordered a MH and the label on the box said MH but the rod is a H. Not anyone there's fault as im sure the Irod was loaded into the wrong tube at the factory. But same issues as you. No phone number, no chat, and no response from email for almost a week.

I was wondering if this was going to happen. I looked at a few of these sale rods. The description said one thing, but when I cross referenced the actual part # on the iRod website they were for a different rod. I wish I had posted something

My experience with Midway USA has been awesome!   I had to return 2 items and my communication has been awesome.   Free return shipping was seamless.  Printed it off at home and sent it with the UPS man when he stopped to deliver other stuff.  With the deals I received, I will be doing more business with them for sure.   I have been very impressed with this company.  Thanks again for the heads up.  I have another $75 in my cart right now.  Deals are still there.

Seems like this line has been on sale everywhere, but there's a St. Croix Premier Crankbait rod at Tackle Direct for less than a $100, shipped.  It's a 6'6 MH. https://m.tackledirect.com/st-croix-pc66mhm-premier-crankbait-rod.html

Honestly the amount of censorship here is getting close to China. Can I say China on here??

Big difference between here and China.  Here, you are free to leave if you don't like the leadership.

That was more of a joke but just so you know Chinese people can still leave China...that Great Wall thingy is more of a historical monument than an actual wall...plus airplanes and stuff are way more relevant now. 
 

Glenn is going to tell us to get back on topic so let’s go that route

Hey BR! Its been a while!

 

Yesterday when I was in Dick's Sporting Goods there where tons of sales on alot of things! The best 3 being Big Bite Baits buy 5 or more and get each one for only $1! And Rage Tails for $4.50! And lastly there was a 3 For $10 on ALL Live Target or Storm Arashi Lures!! There were Bluegill Swimbaits, Mini Alabama Rigs, and for some reason a ton of Live Target Bait Ball Series Baits! 

 

Anybody know why there is such a good sale right now? Will this sale be the same next year to see if I should buy some more now?

 

Thanks,

Martin Sierra

Judging from the dicks stores locally I wonder if they aren't getting out of the fishing game all together.  There are 2 locally and one has some stuff while the other is basically empty in the fishing department 

[adrenalnjunky]

My local DSG stopped carrying fishing too.

I'm pretty sure Dick's is getting out of all the outdoor stuff because they own Field & Stream.  My guess is that they want to direct those sale to that store and keep Dick's focused more on other sporting goods.

Probably, except (maybe) markets that don't have a F&S in them. All we got here is DSG - closest F&S store in my area is apparel only. Closest full F&S is over 5 hours away by car.

[Landis Carrier]

Remember stores like Dicks and WalMart are seasonal ordering stores. They order in the fall for fishing season and once they sell out they don't replenish. With Covid shut down everyone was buying outdoor equipment and supplies.

Multiple Dick’s employees at multiple locations in Nebraska told me they were no longer carrying fishing gear before COVID.

Same here. My local DSG removed all of the floor space for fishing and replaced I with expanded kayak racks and gear. My area has several locally owned fishing shops that are top notch and incredibly well stocked, and an Academy, so it is no big loss, except for the random deals and ability to return online order stuff to DSG locally. My local DSG was really oddly stocked too, lots of big surf casting equipment, despite no where to use it without a half day drive. It seemed more like a placeholder. No F&S anywhere around either, so it’s a complete loss in this market.
