Awesome - I just tried it out - good catch!  Considering I had to cut my newest cranking rod up into 24" pieces yesterday to send in for warranty, I'm apparently in the market for a new one.

Was weird - rod I bought a few months ago and only had fished a handful of times.  Been sitting in my spare room with a rod sock on it.  One of the brands that gets the "***" treatment, but we'll just say unlucky numbers are apparently unlucky.  Pulled the rod sock off, and 6" of tip fell to the floor - looked like a clean break at a guide.  That brand allows you to cut the rod up into smaller pieces to save on shipping when you send it in for warranty, as long as you leave 24" around the damaged part for them to evaluate.

It apparently excludes megabass, I was going to get a swimbait. Could get a President spinning for 35 and looks like it will do free shipping because the original price was over 50.

And I think you could get $10 off if yo can do in store pickup.  Unfortunately, my store never has what I'm wanting.

Not sure how that works, in store was a non deal for me, so just had it shipped, easier that way.

It's hard to resist a brand new Tatula CT for $79.99...Not sure about the 8.1:1 since that's the only option DSG is offering since I already have a KastKing Speed Demon (9.3:1) and a PQ2 (7.5:1).

Yeah - they just updated the banner up at the top of the site to the 40% deal.  It used to read "Spend $50 online, save $10 with in-store pickup"  Looks like that's on hold until after the 40% sale. 

 

So, opinions - Powell Inferno cranking in the 7' medium, or the Powell Max 3d in their 6' 10" medium?  Significant difference in the 2, other than the lifetime warranty on the 3d? Does the glass/composite layup feel better on the 3d?

i haven't used the 3d but i do really like my composite rods that i have it really depends on the use though i find for lipless, squarebill and mid it's nice but for deep cranking graphite is a little better

I did their somewhat expensive swimbaits and it didn't apply the discount, so must exclude some things.

Well, looks like TW has dicks beat on price on the 3d, even with the 40% off.  Even at that point - the reviews on both of the Powell rods I'm looking at are not very good.  Lots of "broke on the 6th cast" type of reviews. 

 

I love my Dobyn's Fury stuff - and the over the counter replacement option if one breaks.  Shame Dicks doesn't carry them - my local Academy does, but you can't find them online. Academy doesn't do nearly as much online sales for their fishing though.  I'll probably just wait til I see a decent sale somewhere on a 705CB.

I just picked up the Daiwa Tactical Tackle Backpack (MSRP $149.99) for $90 after the 40% off, and another 10% off email I got after my Black Friday purchases from them.

Day 8 is also pretty sad, i know they are trying to clear out stock but come on guys

 

[RichF]

I'm kinda glad TW is only putting garbage up for the 25 days sale....keeps me from buying even more stuff i dont need!

Probably will do that. I want that fury cb rod. For the time being I grabbed a Abu Vendetta winch rod on the 40% deal. I had a $10 Dicks cash coupon too. $41 out the door.  Won't feel too bad if it doesn't last.  

[Dirtyeggroll]

Does anyone have a list image of the full 25 days from last year?

[Robert Riley]

DSG/F&S ships items from a store. We call the orders "pick lists" and I have to dig up lures for people 80x a day during this season lol. If we dont have it, it will ship from the next closest store, while the rest ships from the closer store.

TW's 25 days has been absolute trash this year, and I'm sure their sales to date have reflected that. Aside from their Seaguar day, it's been a snooze fest.

Same for the last couple years, and every year people think it will be great, only to realize it isn't.  Still good deals on seaguar, trokar, and Rico's though.

Rico's didn't last long, and saw lower prices on the Seaguar lines that I wanted. Smackdown.

While it hasn't been top of the line stuff the last couple of years I can always find 50-100 bucks of stuff that will get used in the next year. I like that they have added extra off on more brands on the BF sale so they get a pass off this one. For what it's worth TWs 25 days sale has been better than some other ones out there and still over half of the days left for something good to pop up.
