Just a reminder - the selection is small but Dick's didn't exclude Megabass on Black Friday, and I think they were all 25% off.

I had the free shipping - but I didn't really pay attention to when it should be delivered. I will send them an email tomorrow if I haven't heard anything - I just figure they are a small operation and I didn't want to bother them with an email if it was common that you just got a package on your doorstep. EDIT: And just like that - I got an email that it is on the way! I just needed to be a little more patient!

I ordered a rod and reel from them on Friday and haven't gotten any shipping info. I got the confirmation email but that was it - is this par for the course, or should I send an email? With those great prices (and good service from what you all have said) I don't mind slow shipping, but I want to make sure they have my items so my order can be processed.

Dick's has the 20% off every item* again today. *Usual exclusions it seems. Also, Rakuten/Ebates has a deal where you get an additional 10% cash back. I did this a few weeks ago when it was 15% and the money was in my Ebates account the next day (they mail checks every 3 months I think). You just have to go to ebates.com and click through the link. Anyways, I got an Old Town Topwater 120 for 20% off, free pickup, and then 15% cash back. My out of pocket (not including taxes) was $680 for a $1000 kayak. 32% off an item that never goes on sale. I think if you sign up with my link, we both get a bonus ($10) on any purchase you make: https://www.rakuten.com/r/SOWDER70?eeid=28187

There is a bigger profile brat coming out at ICAST. Also, Cabela's has them on sale from time to time - right now they are 6.49 there.

I only have used the 50. I don't know if they can hold up to the 50# label, but I have never had one fail. I also find the 50 is small enough to get in a popper's cupped face. Difficult, but you can do it if you want to make a quick change.

Thank you. I got 2 Pflueger President XTs for 95 after shipping and taxes.

I'll also agree. Used them all last year and zero issues. I have used all the snap types and these are by far the absolute favorite of any I have used.

This morning I had a $5 off any $5 purchase on Ebay, didn't seem to be too many restrictions. I found a Spro Little John for $9 that came down to $4 shipped with the coupon. I think it is targeted to select folks, but worth logging into Ebay to see. The code for me was FUNFIVE

When the sale first rolled out online, the PQ2 blue version said original price $69.99. That threw up red flags for me. It has since then changed, but I would be a little careful. Of course, people said the same about the Carbonlite 2.0 reel from last year as well, and I bought it and could not be more pleased after a year of use.

Do you all think this will work if purchased off eBay? Like through americanlegacyfishing's eBay site??

You can with most reels, but you can not with the pro qualifier 2 according to the ad.

Click on the link, select your store (make sure it is a BPS, not a Cabela's) and then the link will pop up under it. Here is a link to BPS in Concord. NC - although I am not sure it will work:https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/online-catalogs?catalogCode=BassPro/SFC_19_07_tab

BPS Spring Fishing Classic ad is out: https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/hidden-kale-3 I am pretty disappointed, but I was focused on rods/combos (specifically the Carbonlite 2.0 deal like last year). I guess the Pro Qualifier for $50 isn't bad. Anyone see anything that is worth getting? I guess there is Booyah spinnerbaits for $1.99?

The ad is out at this link: https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/hidden-kale-3 Not very good if you ask me. I did the Carbonlite 2.0 combo for 119.99 last year and loved it - was gonna buy 1 or 2 more this year, so maybe that is slanting my view, but it seems like the worst SFC in recent memory.
