One guy found them in-store @ his local Dick's marked down to that price. I'm running by mine after work just to check.

Ebay code - today thru tomorrow morning 10% (lame) off everything (better). Code: PICKUPTEN Also - Dicks has the Lews Mach1 Baitcaster combo on sale for $89, but a guy on another forum said his store had marked those down to $49. Also said that his store didn't show them in stock online, but they had 2 of them. YMMV.

Dammit - I had a $10 reward that apparently expired last week.

Always need another Fuego CT for <$60. And a Stratos T-shirt cause, hey, where else you gonna find a Stratos t-shirt these days.

Overtons.com - flash sale today - 25% off your order - no electronics or trolling motors, and maybe some restricted brands. Use code: DEEPWATER

Picked up a Loomis Mossyback BCR 853 - 7' 1", MH/XF, at an estate sale for basically pennies. Looks in good shape, but I honestly don't have a good idea what I want to use it for. I guess it is the XF tip that is stumping me - I just have never fished anything that appears to be this quick/snappy. It's rated 3/16 - 5/8. I was thinking something more like a Ned rig/shakeyhead baitcaster setup? I've got a finesse spool I can put on a 6.3:1 daiwa - just not sure it's the right tool for the job. Really had other plans for that reel.

I've been eyeing those. But, I'm also a cyclist, and in Shimanos cycling components SLX is good stuff but kinda mid grade, but I'm having trouble not buying higher spec stuff when they're labeling it the same as their bike stuff. Hmm, wonder if my bike shop discount carries over to the fishing gear.

Yeah - same here. I have had good luck with the SPRO Little John MD 50's and unfortunately, they're not super cheap.

Well, not exactly a "sale" but I picked up a pair of factory refurb 7" Garmins with Side View for pretty decent prices. EchoMAP 73sv with the HD inland lakes mapset for the console: $419 shipped from GPScity.com Striker 7SV for the trolling motor (wish it were the newer Plus model, but oh well): $319 from thegpsstore.com Under $750 shipped for a pair of 7" seemed like the easiest route to go for now. Unfortunately it doesn't seem anyone makes much in the way of console mounts for a 98 Stratos. Maybe tomorrow I'l even put the boat in the water for the first time, lol.

Ditto, unless it is an electronic control board that has died, dryers are easy and parts are cheap on the internet.

Honestly - my lizard brain is telling me I really want/need a 9 at the console, and maybe a 7 on the bow. Local CL guy has been trying to sell a HDS 10 HDS 8 - both Gen2 - and a structure scan unit for $1000. I just don't know if that's really a great deal.

Dangit - that $50 max discount on the ebay deal isn't helping me get to the point of no return on a graph purchase. Also - have been spending the last year or more tweaking my "Small footprint, but maximum amount of tackle and 5 rods or less" setups for fishing backseat out of a small aluminum stick steer. Now I sit in this new boat with all the compartments open and wonder what the hell I'm going to put in them all. Apparently too much storage is just as bad as not enough. Will I regret settling for a single 5" display for now?

Uggggh. Bought a boat Saturday morning. Need graph(s). No money now....because boat. Recommendations, lol?

Time to start stocking up on discounted gift cards?

/sigh Having to ignore the bait monkey lately. (Well I did restock some when you guys posted the 40% BioSpawn code). But it's because I'm boat shopping. If all goes well tomorrow, then I'm going to be looking for deals on graphs and a stronger trolling motor.

Dang, Added scent shouldn't be what justifies a $1 raise. Although, the 4 for $14 Powerbait deal + $10 rebate deal now has something I'd prefer to stock up on more than chigger craws.

I saw an interview with Skeet Reese during the last Elite event where he mentioned that the Pit Boss is going to move into the PowerBait Line. With the new MaxScent stuff coming out, they may be folding Havoc up to make room on store shelves. I can't even find MaxScent anywhere yet.

Dangit, I was going to go all in on those. I just started using them and love em.

I did that deal a while back too. As a member it's $29 w/ free shipping. One thing though - I'm pretty sure they're not all 5xd's. I know the ad says it that way, but the pics show 6 5xd's and 6xd's, and I can't remember for sure exactly what I got, I do have several of those exact baits in my "overstock" bin in 6xd, and I wouldn't have bought them individually.

Heard Skeet Reese mention yesterday that the Pit Boss is moving into the Powerbait line, which is fine for me, means it will fall into the $10 rebate category, and I think the scent is better too.

They're my go to flipping craw. Been liking results on the Big Texan color lately.

eBay code for the 4th = partyinusa. 20% off the typical participating sellers list. ALSO today only until 9pm Pacific time zone. code = perfectday for 15% off anything from any seller.

I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that the H2O baits are made on the same line as the Strike King stuff. Regardless, they run great, and have a lot of variety. I just wish they would make their naming conventions something that made more sense.

Yeah - really up in the air on these. Even the pundits are kinda shrugging. I'm sticking with: a) Wheeler (maybe changing to Strader or Ashley - KVD is a sure bet, but for the points, I'm staying away) b) Feider (maybe switching to Faircloth) c) Elam (or Combs) d) Hunter Shryock (but looking really close at Dustin Connell) e) Williamson? You could really throw a dart at the top half of that category. Would like to see Horton have a good outing.

Walmart has their website (and their Jet.com site) set up kinda like Amazon, where some things are sold in stores, and they have a network of 3rd party sellers too.
