Shimano reels 20% off Black Friday on TW?

[pauldconyers]

From you guys past experience were Shimano reels 20% off for Black Friday at Tackle Warehouse? I've got my eye on a Curado DC and for 20% I could justify buying it!

[JLewis134]

No I don't think Shimano/G Loomis is a part of that sale

[FishTank]

Not that I have ever seen.  Usually Shimano, Daiwa, St. Croix, and G. Loomis are excluded (plus many others).

 

I bought my DC at Dicks during a customer appreciation sale and got it for $199.00.

Well poop

You can often find Shimano reels much cheaper on EBay.

Shimano is still on sale but it doesn’t say so until you make the purchase and get the email. Basically only megabass does not discount.

I have heard of some sights that an item does not show as for sale until it is in your cart. You are saying you do not see that is discounted until AFTER you make the purchase? That makes no sense because obviously before you make the purchase you see your total due for all the items. You agree to that price and make the purchase. You are saying after that you then get an email showing you actually they were "just kidding" and were giving it to you cheaper? That doesn't sound correct.

Yes they will be 20% off after you check out. I got 2 DCs last year during the BF sale.

When you say "AFTER you check out" are you saying I will see the actual price I would be charged when it is in my cart BEFORE I technically make the payment OR are you saying even in my cart it will show me the normal price and will ONLY show me the discounted price AFTER I have paid? Not sure how I feel about having to actually pay for an item and "hoping" the price is discounted after I already "bought" it.

If 20% is keeping you from buying them you must not want them to bad ... lol

Unless you're on a limited budget and the 20% means the difference between a class 2 item and a class 3

Call them and find out for yourself, I don’t think you’ll be satisfied with any answers from this board.

A fool and his money are soon parted. Pretty smart to wait for a sale that will save $50 I say.

Exactly, especially since due to weather I may not even fish anymore this year. I'm in no hurry.

A smarter would shop around and might find even better deal to be had from flemarket, eBay etc without waiting with uncertain.

Edit: my friend is selling his new Curado DC XG for 200 and I can guarantee his equipments, he always put the cover back on his reels every time he changes his setup.

Officially no, technically yes. When you check out the sale should be applied but they cannot advertise the sale for Shimano. I believe the only TRUE exception to the sale is Megabass.

It's the same one that has already been said.

 

 

No matter if it's 20% off or not, just don't let your wife find out.

[zell_pop1]

Some years ago I bought a Daiwa Lexa from them on one of the holiday sales and it was discounted. So Daiwa should be included in the sale.

Shimano has not always took part in the Bass Pro spring trade in, so I would call about whether you get the discount on them.

Lol this is exactly what Junger and I said  

[Lead Head]

Things might have changed, but years ago when I worked at Academy they were not allowed to advertise when shimano stuff was on sale. If you didn't stumble across one in store, or know someone who worked in fishing, you would think shimano never went on sale.

DSG has a 2  day online special 15% off, but as you posted Diawa and Shimano are excluded.  BTW if gold card member free shipping with no minimum.
