Super User Micro Posted September 29, 2007 Super User Posted September 29, 2007 I went to BPS today to buy a few Extreme rods on sale for $64 when i found out the BPS Pro Qualifier rod, normally $119, is on sale for $59. I bought 3. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_58455_100002006_100000000_100002000_100-2-6 Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted September 29, 2007 Super User Posted September 29, 2007 that didn't last long.they are $119 again. Quote
Super User Micro Posted September 29, 2007 Author Super User Posted September 29, 2007 I went into the store. There was only a small sign indicating the sale price of $59. I was told it's a close-out price since that model will not be carried next year. It may be in-store only. But it might be worth a try calling in an order and asking for that price. Quote
Super User David P Posted September 29, 2007 Super User Posted September 29, 2007 Man I wish there was a BPS near me! I'm too lazy to call and go through all that automated junk, but if someone does call and they say say $59 please do post and let us know. Thank you. Quote
Super User Micro Posted September 29, 2007 Author Super User Posted September 29, 2007 YES!!! I called the 1-800 number. It is NOT a internet sale, but rather an IN STORE sale in the Hampton, Virginia store. However, if you call in your order, THEY WILL match the in-store price - $59.88. Make sure you tell them it's a sale in the Hampton store's sale flyer. Quote

Guest muddy Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I called that number those are not the 119 models they are older models that they sell wioth combos usually. You have to watch BPS, they sometimes put Extreme combos on sale and when you get them they have a rod that says extreme and it is not the same only they are currently selling. I AM NOT SAYING YOU GOT A BAD DEAL, and I really like and use a lot of BPS products I have just learned that some of their deals are not as sweet as they seem Quote

I was just passing along info on a great deal. I'm quite happy with my new rods. I heard the older BPS Pro Qualifiers were made with 80million modulus which I wouldn't mind one bit. Micro, which ones did you get , i'm a bit confused? Quote
Super User 5bass Posted September 30, 2007 Super User Posted September 30, 2007 I think he got the close-out Pro Qualifiers which are/were sold this year but will not be carried next year. Muddy was talking about the Extreme's which are totally different rods. Micropterus, I saw on the receipt that you slid in a Revo STX.....nice pickup man! Quote

I think muddy was just saying that happened to him with an Extreme, but that it's the same thing they're doing with the Pro Qualifier. I was going to pick up two of these for beating the bank instead of bringing my glx when I around bank fishing. But now I'm not sure.. Are they the ones on the website now for $120 or a different model? Still the 70million modulus and fuji guides.? Just a tad confused right now. Quote

I can't just throw it and let my thumb off like my Curado, I have to keep my thumb there. reel Mech had some advice though, i'm going to try it and hopefully i'll love my Revo too! Thanks again Micro Quote

Guest muddy Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Nice Buy; Unfortunately the Harisburg store has the other rods. Im glad we called before we made he trip because its 68 miles each way! They have the other rods, and we stockpile now for a project we run each spring. PS What are the top 2 red Revos are those the ones on sale that are exclusive to Cabelas I think they are the SC?

Muddy, how can you tell which are the old ones and which are the new ones. I'm going to call the 800 number and order them for delivery as there's no BPS in Northern California. What should I ask to make sure that it's the correct rods and not the older ones you speak of. The Red Revos are the Cabelas version, the Revo SC , only made in high speed 7:1 Quote
Guest muddy Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Just do what Micro did READ THE LABELS ON THE RODS, when i went to get the extremes I knew the rods were green and just took it home. We had 3 of them 2 were the older models you only get on the combos and one was reel. There actuaclly was a idfference in the wrappings, and THE LABELS. I hope you are closer than we are to the nearest BPS , but it still is a good ride and a day with the fellas. We buy stuff for a special service we run , so we have to be right on what we buy, because a group of people pay for this stuff, and we do not want to mislead them, even if by mistake. ALSO ANOTHER THING THAT MICO DID BRING THE MODEL OR PRODUCT CODE AND MATCH EM UP : Quote
Super User Micro Posted September 30, 2007 Author Super User Posted September 30, 2007 I inspected the rods yesterday before I bougth them. All seemed ok. This morning when I looked at them closely in the sunlight, the medium-heavy rod has a gouge in the blank just below the first eye. The two mediums I bought were perfect. I took it back but they didn't have anymore medium heavies. I ended up buying a Johnny Morris Elite MH 7' with Recoil guides. It was already on sale $129 (down from $179) and they gave me another $20 on top of that for goodwill. Quote
