I don't know what lengths, powers or ratios though. It wouldn't hurt to call your store. I don't know how we ended up getting more? Question for you, how do you get the @name sign? Cool, I will just call the store... I just type “@“ and then immediately start typing the username (must be a space before “@“ and no space after “@“ should look like “@volzfan” without the quotations @volzfan59 Quote
bobbyg Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Went to BPS yesterday morning for a few things one of whuch was 5 for $10 booyah spinners that were supposed to go from the 19th-25th. Was told they were out of them. Apparently corporate called them and told them to put them out on Saturday. They sold out of them by 3pm on Saturday, 2 days before the sale was even supposed to start. . .I am probably done with them. That just drives me nuts when a store does something like that! Quote
TigerMack Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I made it in on Saturday with the intent to pick up some soft plastics and maybe some of the Booyah spinnerbaits. I had no intention of picking up a new rod and reel. Ended up leaving with the baits and one of the Carbonlite combos. Just seemed too good to pass up. The selection on the combos was somewhat limited, but I did end up with a 7.5:1 reel on a 6.5' MH/F. I wanted a 7', but they had sold out of those in the right hand retrieve. Not a deal breaker. Honestly, outside of the Carbonlite combo, and maybe the spinnerbaits, I was not terribly impressed with the rest of the sale. I may go back to take advantage of the line sale once I decide what I want to spool the new reel up with. Quote

The only combos that can be purchased at the sale price come to the stores pre-built. The ad states "limited quantities, no rain checks. We started the sale with almost 500 combos, 500. Sold out in 2 1/2 days. Not to say that a store manager couldn't go rouge and do it, but they won't if they like they're job. A report is generated every day tracking those things. BPS mothership could reverse their decision, that's up to them. At our store, like yours and all others that I know about, we're not building combos at the sales price, no matter how nicely you ask. It's not a big deal... I wasn't terribly impressed with the reel anyway. I liked how all the drags clicked and everything, but I didn't really need that. The reels I tried didn't have a very good freespool and I was wanting a weightless combo- the reel I have works better than theirs. Quote

They usually cake on the oil and grease. I’ve torn down low end reels, cleaned them up oiled and greased the right way. Night and day difference. Quote

I just don't know the carbonlites internals. I can tear down Penn and some Abus but that's all I know how to do as far as baitcasters/conventionals go. Quote
Drew03cmc Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I didn't buy a single thing. Quite sad really. I miss the Zoom deal. Quote

I've never looked at the internals of a Carbonlite reel as I don't use them They, BPS mothership, tell us they are the same. I do use the Carbonlite rods, in addition to the Patriots. I use the Pro Qualifier reels and can tell you that when we sold the p/q combo's, they were identical. I know this is apples and oranges, hope it helps. Thanks for the reply. I purchased two of the Carbonlite combos during the sale. I haven't fished with them yet, but have spooled them up and practiced with some light weights. So far I love them!! Only time will tell. Hard to beat the pro qualifier for the money though. I will probably try out a pro qualifier 2 soon. Quote
Steveo-1969 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 My closest Bass Pro Shop is 90 minutes away so no shopping trip for me. But I had a couple gift cards from Xmas that I hadn't used so I made an online order instead. I bought SK Bitsy Bug jigs, SK Menace Grubs, SK Baby Rage Craws and some Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon (BOGO). Everything I bought was on sale, I saved over $60 from normal retail, and only paid $5 out-of-pocket. Win! Quote
Blacktail 8541 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Been to BPS twice so far during this sale. Picked up 2 Lowrance HDS 9's . With the 3x rewards and bonus bucks plus sale price, I basicly got 2 for the price of one. $3216.00 out the door and $720.00 back on gift cards and points. I also picked up some of the suffix 832 braid and misc. Will be going back a couple of more times before it is over. Quote
