Academy clearance in store...75% off   6th sense lures (Good ones), Berkley, Spro frogs and cranks and tons of $100 rods marked down 75% but that was Saturday...Stuff goes quick...Invisx, Berkley, Fins braid, Gamakatsu, tons of owner and Buckeye shaky heads, Crappie lures, Academy lures.....Was a treasure trove......

I had already bought a bunch at 50% and was waiting for the 75% to pick up more stuff. Got the email on Saturday night and went back up there when they opened on Sunday morning. Everything was cleared out, appears that on Saturday they had gone to 75%, the day befor the email went out. The two stores near me went from having lots of stuff to almost nothing...so ymmv at your local store, if they still have lots of stuff its a great deal, wanted some deep diver spro crank baits but everything was cleared out ..

I didn't see alot of the deep diving cranks except for the berkley flat side Fritts cranks and some Store brand....Maybe some Strike Kind 6xd...I went back yesterday to get more and it was basically empty. I grabbed a few more of those Spro Demon Cranks, store brand cranks and some Trilene....I cleaned up on a bunch of the other stuff the first time. That was my first time seeing 75% at academy, never knew they put clearance in the back of the store.....Was amazed how they put out what seems like everything. Found a nice Lews Mach casting rod and Shimano GLF medium light casting rod which was worth it. 50% still a great deal....

They do it every year starting late Jan and increase the percentage every couple weeks. Mine had lots of stuff at 50% but wanted a few more. Was in there on a Thursday and still tons of stuff, didnt know that Saturday the had increased and got the email Saturday night. One day it when from full to empty. Honestly i think you have flippers and ebay sellers at that point and they just buy everything and resell it. Walmart did similar thing in January but they skip the steps they just went from normal price to bottom price. I bought lots of stuff, will wait for it next year vs black friday lots better deals.

You are correct. The girl at the counter told me one guy came in and purchased almost all of it. I went on Ebay and googled "Quake 70 6th sense" and boom...3 lots for $27 etc.....Then looked on Facebook market place and rods were $50.....They should put a limit on it. Everyone should have a shot to get some stuff at that price.

I tried this the other day, but not sure what happened? Just a heads up to add on to the DSG sale ending in 2 days. The local store tried to over charge me since they upcharge them at $20 i walked out, i spoke to a woman from their customer service team on their website and had them price match Bass Pro, this IMO is the deal of the year. Next up i gotta place my Siebert order for some Fogys and Tremors.
