Cool thanks for the info 

My understanding of DSG clearance is that ANY sale item ending in .97 is also an additional 25% off.

So it would seem, but at my DSG they balked saying the items with .97 ending weren't "in the sale section", even though they were on sale.

I probably still should have punished them for that. And gotten the bag of soft plastics they accidentally labeled "$0.01".

Was that at the register? This is chain wide so it should ring 25% extra. 

 

There are excluded departments though. Guns, optics, camping, and golf equipment are not additional off clearance. All fishing is extra off .97 endings. The whole store is 75% off .93 endings but those are used for clothes /shoes not tackle.

Yep, at the register.
My DSG is a perpetual disappointment.

My local DSG has a big sign at the entrance that says "Clearance Sale - Ends in .97 Additional 50% Off"

However, everything ending in .97 is only an additional 25% off.... Sigh.

They suck! I went there with a gift card looking to buy a particular spinning combo they had advertised on the website. Pfleuger President. They didn't have but maybe three combos of lower quality on the rack. I asked about it and they told me come back in a few weeks and they'd have their "seasonal fishing equipment" out. I went back and nothing had changed. So I spent my money and some more on a kayak for my daughter. It was a backup plan I had already discussed with the wife and we surprised my daughter on the spot.

Dick's doesn't even seem to know what species of fish we have here.

Pick up some kietech 4.8. A pack $3.73.

 

 

Once they opened Field and Stream in suburb of Detroit they closed the Dicks across the street. F& S is overpriced with minimal selection from my perspective.  

I was able to snag a Shimano 2500FD for 21 bucks and Stufix 832 briad for 11 bucks a spool. The hardbait selection this year wasn't as good as last year

I also cleaned out one MN Twin Cities dicks location of their $4 packages of Senkos. Sorry! Only two colors were discounted. 

Man, I seriously hope that there are no deals like I found last year on Crucials in this sale.  I am literally afraid of finding a MXF in a "too good to say no" deal.

same thing, but they did have a sign that said 75% off .93 items and it was true... got some micro chatter baits for 23 cents!

man i wish!!  they were "on sale" for like 7.49 at mine...  for 3.73 i'd have cleared them out.

I just went to a larger store in my area and got a Field and Stream Tec Spec Arsenal rod for $70. These things are great. I already have 2 and love them. They were originally $129. Love the Fuji SK2 reel seats and K alconite guides. 

 

Got some Livingston 10ft cranks for $9 and lipless crank for $5! 

 

 

Awesome price on those Keitechs, I would have wiped them out as well.

Ok....noooooow I'm ticked haha. I don't understand what is wrong with my stores?! The only things on sale are garbage! Stupid eau claire 

Now that we have a cabelas here in Buffalo, I spend my money there or order online from bass pro.  Don't go to dsg anymore. .

There was only these 3 along with another pack which one of the store assistant took after I told him to scan the item.  There were alot more keitech but they were not mark down.  They also had the Megabass Dot crawler onsale for 4.09.  I might go back today incase the mark more stuff down.  The worker there did say they are continuing to marking down more stuff during the week so we'll see.

Ugh now I need to go back and see if more stuff is being marked down.  Does this go through the end of January?  February?

Less than $8 all together.. finally!

I checked out three DSG's  close to me and bought a RevoMGX for 149.98 and a Veritas 6ft 9in for 56.23.  Senkos for 4.48, in watermelon, bought one bag. That was all that was left. KVD squarebills  in 2.5 DB craw for 2.98. That was the only choice of color and size. They had Strike King Perfect Skirts-magic tails for 1.49 and I got one pack. I got everything from one store the other 2 didn't have anything worth buying.

I saw the Revo one day and left without buying it. The more i thought about it the more i wanted to get it. I was happy to see it was still there. The reason i didn't buy it the first time i saw it was because i asked one of the clerks if the .97 ending price was good for the 25% off  the reel. He said no. Well i remembered later them saying that one other time Citicas were marked down. They were so I thought what the heck. i took it to the checkout and if they didn't reduce it the 25% more i would tell them i didn't want it. The extra came off so i was a proud owner of a new MGX. They didn't have any other reels marked down with the .97. but I'll keep going back to check. I remember when Wal-mart was marking down the old Curados and i got three for $25. I guess you just have to persevere.

I grabbed 4 Xcalibur craw squarebills for $2ish a piece last week. Pretty terrible selection for bass at the one near me. For some reason they still have Megabass though.

I just swung by my Dicks and grabbed a Abu Orra SX combo rod without the reel for $13 whole dollars. I figure it'll be a good learning rod. Who cares if I break it?

Don't break it!  It's a good combo.  Was my first pair.  In three years I repaired one guide and Mike DVT serviced the reel, but it has been good to me.  If I came across another anywhere near that price I'd grab 2

I don't intend on breaking it. It was just the rod, missing the reel.
