Replacement for the Pflueger President coming?

[snake95]

Pflueger President reels have been on discount on Dick's 24-hour sales each Thursday for the last several weeks, selling for $48.98.  I got a couple via the website today marked with Dick's price labels indicating "clearance" ($49.97).

 

Cabela's has also been selling them at significant discount recently.

 

Just out of interest wondering if Pflueger is planning to come up with a replacement?  I know they are a very popular reel on the board.

Don't forget your 10$ off rebate on top of that price. Ends in September. Making the reel 40$

Hey anytime you intend to purchase something at a Dicks I always do it in two trips. Stop in and buy something cheap. I always pick up a Jawbone Jig which fish well but also make great casting plugs at $3.00.  Ity is hard to find a 3/4 or even 1/2 ounce casting plug. 

Anyway go buy your line or a lure or even a pack of gum. Return home, fill out their online customer survey in order to print out a $10 off coupon.  That will make that reel only cost $30.

The associate at the checkout counter is supposed to make every shopper aware of the survey but not many go home and fill them out.  Hey $10 off is worth a few minutes of my time.

I also employ a similar approach.  But I don't usually have to make more than one trip since I am in there so frequently "saving money" that I have no shortage of surveys filled out at any one time. Marketing genius at work.   The Thursday "flash sales" get my attention too.  I have "saved" a lot of $$ at that store since I took up bass fishing.

Thanks, good point - also part of my strategy.

 

Actually @fishnkamp I owe you one.  The reels are now on clearance at DSG all week long for basically the same price.  Thanks to you it dawned on me to just buy them in store and combine both the $10 rebate and the $10 off on $50 deals.  I pride myself in being the ultimate deal finder but this one escaped me until your post.

 

Guys - have fun buying new/old Presidents for $30 after rebate!
