trav Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Just wondering if anybody knows........how is tackle warehouse able to sell Kistler Helium LTA's for 199 when they're 270 everywhere else? I'm a loyal customer of TW, but 70 bucks off makes me kinda leery. Quote
trav Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 idk.....maybe that they're not the most recent model. I guess leery was a poor choice of words.......I'm just surprised they can trim that much off the cost. Quote
KevO Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I wouldnt be leery of anything from TW. Everytime I have purchased something from them it has been what I wanted and in perfect condition. Not to mention they ship fast too. Quote
Super User flechero Posted April 20, 2009 Super User Posted April 20, 2009 maybe they are selling them for cost... hoping to recoup the profit on reels and line, etc. I trust TW... I've never had a bad experience there. Quote
Super User South FLA Posted April 20, 2009 Super User Posted April 20, 2009 I love TW, but I am guessing it is either an agreement with Kistler or....a concept called loss leader. Here read up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader Quote
21farms Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 my guess is that those LTAs at TW are the 2008 models. the 2009s have a rounder rear grip and less black thread in front of the winding checks. Quote
trav Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks Frank, you answered the question that was really trying to get at, I just picked a horrible way to ask it also.....just to be clear.....I wasn't trying to bring the quality of TW into question. I've never had a problem with them, and their customer service is the best I've dealt with. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted April 20, 2009 Super User Posted April 20, 2009 Those rods pictured are the 2009 models. Looks like they have a different cork on those rods. Probably some of the first runs until they decided to use the burl cork. I think I would rather pay the extra money to have the burled cork. Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 They are just awesome man, that's all! They just recently price matched a rod for me and even gave me two free t-shirts too! I love those guys!!! ;D Quote
aarogb Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I wouldn't worry about it and feed the bait monkey ;D. They just have the best price on anything and everything you couldn't think of that pertains to bass fishing. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted April 20, 2009 Super User Posted April 20, 2009 maybe they are selling them for cost... hoping to recoup the profit on reels and line, etc. That isn't anywhere close to cost on those rods. Quote
