My local DSG removed all of the floor space for fishing and replaced I with expanded kayak racks and gear.

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

Our DSG removed the hunting section, moved the kayaks/canoes there, and actually added a couple rows of fishing gear.

 

With the closest Cabelas being 40 minutes away, Scheels 30 minutes and Sportsmans Warehouse 40-50 minutes, our DSG I think is going to keep the fishing section. Local shop 10 minutes from DSG is small and mainly caters to the walleye/northern crowd.

Luckily our DSG is still fully stocked with fishing gear...we're talking 6 double aisles of rods, reels, lures and terminal tackle. Hopefully it'll stay that way as there's really nothing else around for a 100 miles (other than a couple small mom & pop type stores with limited selections) as far as fishing gear goes!

My Dicks completely stopped fishing gear, can't find a hook no where. Never did buy much from Dicks, Academy is just 3 minutes away.

You're lucky regarding Academy. I wish they would expand up here into New England!!! I'm sick of the over-inflated prices of DSG and BassPro.

[Hook2Jaw]

I'm going to sell you all to another bass forum if I have to keep clicking this hoping something is on sale only to find all this talk of DSG!

 

I'll get us back on track.

There are some fire deals on jigheads right here.

This one isn't a sale, but at the price it basically is.  I like their standard ball head jigs and the Manic Mullet in the applicable sizes!  Eat them up.

Thank the Lord every day I have one of the best small tackle shops I have ever seen within 20 minutes of my house!

Blah....They jack up their prices then keep having sales. The rods are still over priced IMHO.

Thank you!  You just saved me $55!  Four hours ago I ordered a Zbone 7'0" Medium/Fast spinning rod for 20% off, which seemed like a pretty good deal!

They have really jacked up their prices in the last couple of years and then they make comments like this.

Same and these are in my price range but that attitude is garbage compared to how great companies like Dobyns are with customer service.

Boycott for one post on Facebook and probably posted by an intern in charge of social media?   But hey, its your money. 

 

I bought 4 zbones from them this year and the customer service on the phone and via email were top notch.  Looking at their lack of inventory, I think they are probably doing pretty well despite the price hike.   At the end of the day, its as simple as supply & demand.

All 3 of my local Walmart’s are doing fishing clearance. I bought six Zman Original Chatterbaits for $1.05 each. Six RattLTraps for $2.45 each. Four Berkeley Shad Raps for $2.65 each. You get the idea. I ended up with two full bags of hard baits for about $60.

Was there a variety of colors? I was in Cabelas here a few weeks ago and they had a similar sale, but it was a giant bin filled with only one color (Sexy Shad) Booyah squarebills--like 100s of them LOL.

My terrible Walmart doesn't have any fishing gear left to clear out on clearance. 

[Chonch12]

Anyone have decent prices on Zakos? Can only find them at the standard $6+. Thanks

[Phelptwan]

DT has them for $5.84/pack.

Good haul Angus and good if surprising news.  This means fishing gear clearance is happening at Walmart stores nation wide.

 

In case you don’t know the pattern, every store will vary to a degree in terms of what is on clearance, and what the price drops are.  Prices will drop down in steps on each clearance item, until everything marked for clearance is gone. 

 

In some stores, and on some items, the initial cuts in price are modest, and it may not seem like the deals are great.  Occasionally, the initial cuts will be substantial. However, the price cuts indicate what is marked for clearance and sometimes that first drop in price is enough to drive sales.  

 

The drops in price usually occur across the board on all clearance.  To my knowledge, there is no way of predicting when the drops will occur.   However, the timing of the price drops seems to be consistent from store to store.

 

In some stores, clearance stuff will hang around long enough for the prices to get into the dirt cheap range.

 

In general - similar stuff will be on clearance from one store to the next.  For example, this might be the year KVD 1.5's are being sold off, among other things.  However, the sale items will not necessarily be identical from store to store, so you might get chart/black back 1.5's for $1.50 in one store, but no red craws, where it is vice-versa and the next closest store.   Walmart clearance has tended to happen in March-April.
