It's where members put up things for sale they don't use anymore.

It’s not like me to want to be all about their sale but I laid off for awhile. Mostly because a few things I wanted were “no back order” I’m ok with that I can wait. Didn’t want to get hung up impulse buying vs. what I truly want. 
 

I’m pretty sure I have a few gift cards coming my way. I’m always helping people out one way or another and I never take any money for it. Recently put the word out that I’d take a TW gift certificate instead. 
 

I have a bit of a short list but colors and  patterns I wanted as duplicates and spares they are out of now. They don’t have a reel that I want since long before this sale. All is good. 
 

You guys enjoy your new toys, I’ll have what I want/need by March 31st.

Ballistic LT is basically Tatula LT with magseal. I don't know; I don't like reels that I can't service by myself.  So the choices are: 1. Tatula LT, market price ~$130;  2. Stradic FL, market price ~$150;  3. Vanford, market price ~$180.   I think Tatula LT has the best value among these 3 choices, but I really want to try the new Vanford.  According to Tackle Advisor on Youtube, Stradic FL is the best reel among sub $400 reels. I think that's a little overstatement; Stradic FL is much heavier than Tatula LT and Vanford.  I really value light-weight when it comes to spinning tackles. 

 

Perhaps but I also don't care for those thin bail wires they use on Shimano reels unlike Daiwa's. A bail on one of my Shimano reels got bent during an innocuous fishing trip, and that was one time too many for me. I still use Shimano from time to time, but Daiwa looks and feels much more sturdy. My two cents.

   Odd; the only bail I ever bent was on a Daiwa Fuego 2000SH spinning reel.      jj

Cabela’s / BPS has the Pflueger President XT limited edition on sale for $49.99. An awesome reliable reel.

Love mine, I keep looking to replace it with a Stratic Ci4 now that Vanford dropped their prices, but I cant justify it because it works so well haha

Okay, so now that Black Friday sales have come and gone when does TW's 12 Days of Christmas sale start?

I think this Friday - gives them a chance to catch up on the BF weekend orders.

And hopefully replenish their stock. It feels like they are sold out of basically everything worth buying, lol.

It's actually '25 days of Christmas'.

Okay - Dec 2 'What's New' vid says it starts the 7th - so next Monday.

Sounds like California may be going back to a stay at home order. I wonder if this might cancel the 25 days of Christmas sale?

Well, BPS/Cabela's just emailed me saying my Revo Premier ordered a few days ago was canceled.  Out of curiousity when I ordered I added 10 to my cart and it could fulfill that order at the time.  I obviously only ordered one but what the heck!

I have had that happen 3 times.   3 strikes and your out.  I am done with them.  A business that size should have a system that works, it doesn’t.

Yeah I had the same problem last spring with them!  They had a motor guide trolling motor on sale and I put it in the cart three times and said it couldn't complete it because there wasn't enough stock.  It showed stock every time I looked at it!

I had a pair of Leupold Binos cancelled twice at BPS. After 6 calls and hours on the phone with customer service I finally drove 4 hours to get them in store. Once I got home they were defective so I drove back to return them, problem was I had paid my CC off. It took 2 weeks and 7 calls to customer service to get my refund. Bass pro sucks!

Other than Stik-Os I don't bother with Bass pro anymore.

I found out that these days you have to sign in to BP website just to order their stuff. Too much work for me. No thanks.

I wish I hadn't seen that. Dayum......

I do get the BPS 370 boxes - like them better than the stock Plano boxes as the compartment slots are more customizable than the standard Plano 3700s. You can even create more/smaller compartments which is perfect for my terminal tackle.

 

Only other thing I've ordered from BPS/Cabelas was the Striker Plus 7CV...otherwise I go elsewhere.

I usually buy them in person every other year when I'm around a BPS store. Haven't ordered online in ages.

Is that scale pretty good? I'm in the market for a new one and been looking at the Rapala High Contrast or Kast King Floating Scale. I bought the Rapala 50 lb. Digital scale bit returned it tonight because it sucked.

I just bought the Accu-Cull and so far I really like it. It replaced a Rapala High Contrast that finally got to where I could barely read the display and that was just after about 6 months of use. I tried new batteries and that didn't help. I prefer to weigh in oz as opposed to tenths so I just convert them now since the Accu-Cull doesn't do oz.
