Super User eyedabassman Posted January 13, 2012 Super User Posted January 13, 2012 I know that Bass pro during there Spring classic has a reel trade in program. But in my flyer I got today it says Rod and Reel Trade in???? If I can trade in a rod=now that would be cool! Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted January 13, 2012 Super User Posted January 13, 2012 That's news to me and would be a first as far as I know. Hopefully it's not a typo. Did they list what the cost (discount) breakdown is??? Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted January 13, 2012 Super User Posted January 13, 2012 Good maybe I can get rid of some of my old fiberglass rods Quote
Senkoman12 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 they have always had the reel trade in. you bring an old reel and they give a discount depending on the price of a new reel. the reels get donated to kids groups and clubs. last year when i bought my PQ they had little zebcos for $5. you buy the reel you get the discount. i did that and got $10 off my reel. i saved money and a kid gets a new fishing reel Quote
bman310 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 From what I've heard is Bass Pro will be having Rod and Reel trade ins on select dates. -brian Quote

But they have never done a rod trade in!! Oh Boy.!! I think they do it only one weekend of the Spring Classic. And the rod and reel have to work because they donate them to the kids club or make-a-wish or something like that. It is a good thing for the kids that are not well off. A few years, I would trade in two reels and only buy one,it helps the kids out! Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted January 15, 2012 Super User Posted January 15, 2012 Any word on the dates of the potential rod trade in? Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted January 15, 2012 Author Super User Posted January 15, 2012 Any word on the dates of the potential rod trade in? The Spring Classic lasts 3 weekends and it starts Feb. 24 to March 11. I am pretty sure they have it on the second weekend. It will be in the Spring Classic flyer. And if you don't get them just check at the Bass Pro web site Basspro.com ! And they have the reel/rod trade in at ALL stores. Quote

I don't think all the BPS stores is participating the rod trade in. After researching around, only a few stores are advertising the rod trade -in. Could just be an oversight on the individual store sites. I called my local BPS and they had no clue to having a rod trade-in. If anyone have anything different, please advise. Thanks. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted February 9, 2012 Super User Posted February 9, 2012 I did see it as an upcoming event at the NorCal store. It would be a bummer if only a few of the stores do it, so hopefully the local BPS guys just do not know it yet (it's amazing to me how uninformed they are with BPS-specific things sometimes). Quote
Flukeman Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Are the flyers in the mail now or are you guys getting them at your local stores? Quote
tugsandpulls Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 i was at bass pro today the deal is if you bring in a reel you get money off of a reel if you bring in a rod you get money off a rod if you buy a 100$ reel or rod you get 10$ off a 200$ rod or reel you get 20$ off you cant bring in a combo and get money off of a combo Quote

It was mentioned in another post. Quote

bassinKS Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 i talked to them the other day and im not sure on exact prices for everything buy if u buy a 169.99 reel u get $30 off with the trade in i think it is the same for rods i saw the first page of the flyer he had it behind the counter and thats the only page he would show me Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted February 10, 2012 Super User Posted February 10, 2012 I called BPS in Ft Lauderdale yesterday. The dares for rods are different than reels. The reel trade in has a longer time frame, the rods will be only from 3/2-3/6, I did not get the price breakdown. As long as the rods are in good condition, you can use them for trade, has nothing to do with the original price of them. The trade in rods are donated, but basically this is a discount on the new rod you with to purchase. I don't want to donate an old rod, I'm going to buy an inexpensive $10 rod for trade, I'll still be ahead of the game and I'm donating something new, the BPS manager said many do the same thing.

birdy Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I visited the Cincinnati BPS this week and one of the workers said that Shimano was participating in the trade in this year. This however has not been confirmed by a flier as mine has not shown up in the mail. Quote
Reel_Kaotic Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Not sure,I would call and ask for the fishing dept. and I am sure they will know by now!! I just called my local BPS, spoke with someone in fishing department and they had not a clue of a rod trade-in or if Shimano was participating. I'll be calling back this weekend. Quote
