Bass Pro Spring Classic Flyer and Sale?

[wordty]

In years past, when has the flyer come out and when does the sale usually start?

[wdp]

I'm thinking it's usually mid February. 

[Allen Der]

seems like it comes earlier and earlier every year.  the current sale runs though 1/29 so it will be at least after that

[kcdinkerz]

not sure when but ive been dissapointed in them these past few years most of the stuff are house brand. they do have a decent reel and rod trade in program.

[npl_texas]

I noticed during the Black Friday/Christmas sale it seemed like most of the items were store brand.  Most of the things that I was interested in (Carbonlites) where hardly reduced.

 

Is the spring sale typically really good?  I just got back into fishing about 5-6 months ago and hadn't fished regularly in 15 years or so.

It will start on either February 12th or the 17th, I believe it to be the latter.

 

All of the BPS searches return a "coming soon" result, but this one from Springfield events page https://www.springfieldmo.org/events/39392/bass-pro-shops-spring-fishing-classic 

says it is February 17th thru the 26th.  My guess is they have the end date wrong, it is probably another week longer.

 

According to this link, http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPageC?storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId1&appID=206&template=sfc-initial.cfm 

they have different start dates, the 12th & the 17th on the same flyer.  My guess is this is a mockup using the 2016 flyer and they didn't change all of the dates.  It typically starts on a Friday, last year the 12th was a Friday, this year the 17th is one.

just seen that they posted the flyer online, not much in it from what I can tell. such a let down on he electronics sale.  http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPageC?storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&appID=206&template=sfc-rod-reel.cfm&storeID=66#sfcMenu

Got my preferred rewards notification today for the Spring

Fishing Classic. Small flyer in mail. Basic stuff, BPS products

featured as usual... Rod/reel trade-ins, door prizes, etc.

 

Hopefully when the main flyer is released there will be some

good discounts this year on soft plastics so I can restock.

Wonder how many they'll have in left handed... is there a sale on the PQ 2 as well? Can't decide what reel is the best deal, planning on getting two!

Where did you see this? It's not advertised in the flyer.

It was on the next to last page of the circular flyer

Does the trade-in only work on certain products?  I'm going to get a Lews' Tournament Pro, what are the odds I could trade something in on that?

 

$49 for the qualifier - that has to be after the trade-in, right?

The Pro Q is NOT with trade-in. And it is limited to 

quantities on hand...

 

And unless specified, you can get any reel at a discount

after trade-in.

Yup, just got my circular yesterday and saw it. Now my decision is should I buy the Pro Q for $50 or should I buy a Daiwa Tatula CT or Abu Garcia Revo SX for $90 off eBay?

At those prices, all three. 

 

I'm not passing up on a $50 Pro Q, that's for sure.   On the trade-in, as long as the reel/rod is functional they take it?

The Pro Q doesn't qualify (get it...lol) for the rod/reel trade-in. As for getting all three...can't see the wife going for that!!!

The rest of the "deals" aren't spectacular.  Half of the items in the sale paper aren't even sale prices!  Regular prices with fancy pictures.  Unfortunately this sale seems to get more predictable and less worthwhile each year.  And each year I get Bass Pro gift cards for Christmas, wait for this sale, and find none of what I want on sale.

[ElectricSlide19]

Are there sometimes sales that don't appear in the flyer? For example, I've been looking at the walleye angler rod (yes I fish for walleye as well as bass haha) and was hoping it would go on sale for the classic, but it's not in the flyer. Aren't normally all the BPS rods on sale during this time, to go along with the trade in? I would have to agree with everyone else though, besides the PQ for $50 and it's the discontinued version at that, the sale leaves more to be desired. 

[The Fisher]

The sale starts 2/17, but in my flyer, the trade in starts 2/23 Kind of weird

I couldn't agree more.  Don't buy much of anything from bass pro anymore.

Same here. I get gift cards every birthday & Christmas. At least I can use them & trade in a rod or reel, then get a new one with minimum investment. 

 

It's a shame the sale event isn't what it used to be. One good thing about the event this year at the Memphis Pyramid store - KVD is making an appearance.

Yes.  I have found quite a few items on sale that aren't even mentioned in the flyer.  I don't know why they would do that, other than not wanting to commit to having huge amounts on hand at sale price.

[U-boat Aficionado]

Looking at the flyer online, I didn't see the Carbonlite Rod/Pro Qualifier combo like I picked up last year. The $49 PQ is tempting but I've a feeling the local store will quickly be sold out, not have any left hand models and with the new model hitting the stores, I'd like to wait to see it. 

 

I might trade race in an old junk rod to pick up a two piece Veritas or Carbonlite or trade for another President reel.
