Rob G. Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Just a heads up. Check your local WalMarts for fishing clearance. I did not get an spectacular deals, but better than mail order or internet. Filler spools of 50lb Power Pro $9.00, Chatterbaits $2.50. Not bad anyways. Quote
Davis Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Everything that I saw on sale was nothing that I was interested in. Quote
fooman Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I've heard that differant stores have differant items on clearance...the store I hit last weekend had garbage..have to try another 1 Quote
slomoe Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 My walmart doesn't have jack shizz on sale. I went after Burley's post about it. They did get some lake fork magic shad in though, I picked up a few. Quote
Masshole Mike Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 i picked up a bunch of 5 packs of matzuo EWG hooks at $1.50 each, but that's all my local wally world had that caught my eye. Quote
Just_Old_Fisherman Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Walmart had some display reels they were closing out. Picked up a Quantum 5:1 ratio baitcaster for $25. Nice enough reel with 3 bearings, liked the 5:1 for slowing down on big cranks. Figure why not for $25. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted January 31, 2008 Super User Posted January 31, 2008 My local wally-world has Vanish for 5 bucks and Trilene Maxx for four bucks. I picked up 7 or 8 spools. They also had Glass Shad Raps for 2.50 and Minnow Raps for 3 bucks. Not sure how many they had, but I bought them all. Going back this weekend to see what else they put out. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 31, 2008 Super User Posted January 31, 2008 Got to go by and see what they have at my local Wally Mart. I can go by two of them. Maybe pick up some Shimano reels; some Lucky Crafts; a few RICOs; some Senkos; and Trileen Maxx. Not to forget the G. Loomis rods they have in stock. Quote

Never ever have I seen Loomis rods, senkos, or Lucky Crafts. If your being serious than I want your walmarts lol. Mine have nothing but cheap tackle for the most part. The best thing they have going for there isles are Power Pro. Quote
ABC123 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Our local Wal marts don't seem to want to compete with the local stores. They have one isle of fishing tackle. Low cost basics. The highest end products they sell are a few Rapala's. I noticed the closeout of the above mentioned line though. They have half an endcap full of the line. Some of the best deals I got on hard baits was at the local bait shop. X-point hooks, Spooks, ect.. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted January 31, 2008 Super User Posted January 31, 2008 The clearance merchandise will vary on a store by store basis. It is based on actual sales at that store. Which is why I can't get anything more than 10 lb. test at my local store. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 31, 2008 Super User Posted January 31, 2008 For awhile some of the Wal-Mart stores were carrying Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft. If any of you guys run across 1000 yard spools of #12 for under $10, pick up a couple for me. I haven't seen it around here. Quote

This makes it very difficult to find stuff for bass at Wally world. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Looks like I'll finally be upgrading to some Zebco spincast combos. I've been needing a new setup for swimbaiting and diamond jigging for lunker stripers, so this is perfect. Quote
tritz18 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 My local walmart has a decent amount of things on sale, but most of it is cheap crap thats not worth buying. sometimes you do find something nice for cheap Quote

Cory20 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 My local Target has something called Catch of the day Rapala lures. Usually between 4-5.50$ for their DT series, not a great deal but sometimes there's a few good ones. I heard rumor that Wal-mart was pulling most of their fishing stuff because they lose money on it. Just a rumor, anyone hear anything about it? Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Got to check it out.... My local wall mart just has cheap fishing stuff. However out of the cheap stuff they have some of it is good. They carry rapala hard baits, zoom flukes, senko knock offs, gamakatsu hooks, as well as roboworms. I think il have to go and get stocked up on these lures.... Quote
AAbbCCdd Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 i dissagre with tritz18 walmart has valued merchendice that is of high quality you dont know what your talking about go fish with someone elses tools Quote
Jake. Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 i dissagre with tritz18 walmart has valued merchendice that is of high quality you dont know what your talking about go fish with someone elses tools Wal-mart's fishing merchandise varies from store to store, there might be crap at one store and good stuff at the next.

Rob G. Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 Walmart does 'market studies" on each of it's stores. They stcok what they believe the "market" will will purchase. Some have more fishing, some have less. Some have more hunting, some have less. Some no longer sell guns, some have many. They have an idea what will sell and what will not. Quote
Davis Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 It's amazing that our dunkirk walmart doesn't sell crap for fishing stuff (for smallies and LM anyway). It's literally less than 3 minutes away from Lake Erie and a marina. There is a good selection of walleye stuff though some maybe that explains it. While the Springville location which is about an hour away from Erie...has a much better fishing selection when it comes to bass. Quote
Fishing Doug Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Earlier this week, I picked up Mann's Baby 1 Minus crankbaits for $.99 each.....31 of them to be exact. other than than, not much to chose from. FD Quote
Super User burleytog Posted February 2, 2008 Super User Posted February 2, 2008 Cleared the Wytheville VA WM out of Vanish Transition and Owner hooks tonight. :-[ Quote
