jmed999 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I would love to get a couple of these at this killer price. Anyone know where to get these still...online maybe? Quote
hookingem Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Where Hookingem where? Got one at the dick's in Midlothian one at the dick's in Glenn Allen and one Citica at the Short Pump Location. Oh yeah don't forget your 10 dollar's off coupon :D :D http://oi52.tinypic.com/a4y9e8.jpg Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 17, 2011 Super User Posted August 17, 2011 Are we talkin' 50E? If so, "Book'em, Danno". I would like to buy one. Thank you! -Kent Sorry, no 50E. I have a few 200E7 though. I can get a couple Citica 201E as well. Quote
hookingem Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Dang!!! Yeah none of the Dick's in my area had 50's. Looking to add one more 50 to the arsenal and Im done......for now Quote
jmed999 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Hey can I get 2 200E7's???? I really need these.....can't afford them otherwise. PM sent to J Francho. Thanks a million!! Quote
hookingem Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I really don't understand how Dick's can sell these reels for such a cut rate. I know they get the reels cheaper than we do at the small tackle shop I work at, but still!? We get them for 122$ so IMO they are losing a pretty significant chunk of change on each reel. Quote
Fat-G Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 It's a huge chain, that's how. I doubt their fishing section is their high revenue section as well. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted August 17, 2011 Super User Posted August 17, 2011 Considering that's how Dick's started, it's a shame they lack a good fishing department. Quote
Diablos Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Shimano sells their products for the same price no matter how big the chain is or how much they buy, except places like bass pro,dicks and cabelas skip the middle man and buy direct from Shimano. If Big Rock Sports(wholesaler) sells the Curado 200E7 for $110 to small tackle shops, you can take roughly 20% off that price and that's what direct buyers pay from Shimano. Dick's is probably selling these at a slight loss but when you make 200-500% on underarmour and nike clothing it's easy to handle that. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Super User Posted August 17, 2011 J francho u called me at like the worst time yesterday about that but its all good lol. I was at my inlaws sitting out side with them and they like to put there .02 in on everything and there's no reasoning with them. At least u were able to get in on some good deals Quote
hookingem Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I work for a big rock sports distributor, and they are 122$. So let's say they get them for 100$ Which I actually bet they pay more because BassPro doesn't even offer any discounts on Shimano during their reel trade in. I have receipts for 2 Curado's that I only paid 64$ for before taxes. So they lost 36$ per reel (probably more) just seems kinda dumb..... Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 17, 2011 Super User Posted August 17, 2011 Guys, I ran retail stores for ten years. You can't look at it in that granular, one unit way. You buy pallet of reels. It takes 2/3 of that pallet before you realize profit on that pallet. After that, it's all profit. So, if you're down to your last 100 reels on that pallet, it doesn't matter what you sell them for, you are making money. The longer those last reels take up space, the less they are worth to you. Especially when there is a new product waiting in the wings for you to play the same game with again. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 17, 2011 Super User Posted August 17, 2011 I tried to get a screaming deal on Citicas, but the manager wouldn't honor my $40 off purchases of $200 or more. If you're interested, I have one more Curado, and two Citicas left. See the Flea Market for details. Quote
endless Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Man oh man I should have check this earlier I was gone though. Wow I thought J Francho was talking about Citica yesterday for $80. Well I joined the posse today today. I had to settle for the $139 deal on a Curado. I got the 200E5 for cranking. The 5.0:1 ratio. I also got a Crucial for $119 CRC-C70M, 7' M-MF. I went to BPS and Green Top, purchased at Green Top. I didn't check with Gander Mountain not sure if would have been cheaper anyways and didn't bother with the Dick's up that way. Figure Hookingem done rob them blind, lol. How good is that rod for cranking and deep cranking? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 17, 2011 Super User Posted August 17, 2011 That combo should work out great! Quote
endless Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 For deep too? My wife is very upset that I spent that much but I been wanting a Curado for awhile now and Crucial has a nice buzz. What size line should I use? I might have a lil Trilene 10# flouro left that I can use for now. All my 12# and 14# looks to low. I think I might have enough 12# Yo-zuri Hybrid. Out of the two? Both clear. Sorry Clayton to hijack your thread, I just didn't want to create a new topic on the same subject. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted August 17, 2011 Super User Posted August 17, 2011 Both are fine, and you'll be fine with that rod for everything up to about a DT14. You're not going to want to throw DD22 and DT16-20 on it. It just won't have enough power. That's a GREAT rod for Warts, Shad Raps, Deep Little N, DBN, and Little John MD. The E5 will help with the fatigue aspect, too. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 17, 2011 Super User Posted August 17, 2011 Like hooligan said, super deep, probably not. But for baits up to 3/4 oz. you should be fine. I use 10 and 12# Trilene 100% Fluoro, or P-line CXX 10# for all my treble hooked baits that aren't swimbaits. Quote
endless Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 That's must been what Sam was telling me. I do have 6'6 PQ MH-F and Carbonlite 7' MH-F I might switch off when I use my DD22. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted August 17, 2011 Super User Posted August 17, 2011 I have both of those rods, and while I'm sure they will work, neither have soft enough tips for treble hooks IMO. A MF would be a better choice, even if it is overloaded a bit. Just my humble opinion. Quote
endless Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 That's what my Crucial is I just pick up is just trying to find a switch for when I throw my DD22 out. Quote
s13john Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Il sell you a mh mod vendetta on the cheep works good for dd22 Quote
