Holy cow. I've never seen deals on reels like Academy is selling right now. It's hard to resist a few of them. The Lews SP, Curado MGL, and Curado DC are soooo tempting. 

 

I think I'll grab a Tatula at $77 though. That's crazy.

I didn't really need more reels at the moment, but that Tatula deal was hard to pass up. The Bait Monkey definitely had his way with me.

Same. I have more reels than rods right now. 

But a Tat for $77? I mean???

 

That Lews TP for $111 is nuts too. 

 

I WISH I needed a whole new lineup of reels, lol. Because now is the time. 

Ummmm...  Fuego CT's are $47.98. ?

Good God I wish you guys would stop posting these reel deals.  I don't need any but they're insane and the itch is real.

And if you're a Rakuten member add an extra 10% off at Academy today. That is quite a discount on some items.

Does that really work? Trustworthy?

It for sure works. You have to decide if it's worth selling out your data. I figured they're keeping tabs on your shopping habits when you sign in into your account so why not save a little dough.

Those sales are wild. Ended up getting a Fuego CT, Falcon BuCoo SR Trapcaster and a Dobyns colt 734c for like $200. 

 

Didn't exactly need but oh well. Fills a couple of holes in my rod lineup.

Okay - I wasn't going to buy anything more this year - but that deal was too good to pass up.

 

One Fuego-CT HS on it's way to me - that gives me the full set of CTs (already have a 6.3 on my crank rod and an 8.1 on my frog rod).

@MN Fisher  I couldnt resist and ordered 1 as well, never seen them that low, love the Fuego I have.

Im actually pretty proud of myself. It could have been a LOT worse than it was. 

 

 

Then again, the sale hasn’t ended yet. ?

 I hope the Lews lovers are buying up that Tournament Pro. That’s one of the better deals on the site.

Curado DC's for ~$208 at Academy right now.  

 

 

Looking deeper there are a LOT of good sales at Academy today;

Tatula 100 - $77

Vanford 200 - $192

Ha, I was in there today for a non-fishing item and wandered over to the fishing aisle because of course you will. The salesman kinda whispered to me that H20 Express rods were 30% off. There were no signs of anything being on sale that I saw.

 

I'm not really in the market but out of curiosity I took a couple of Shimano rods I've been halfway thinking about over to the price scanner and they came up at 20% off. Resisted today but will probably succumb to the monkey by the weekend.

Thanks for the heads up.  Just grabbed a Lew’s SP for $111.  Great deal.  Wanted to try one.  

Wow, a Lew's Tournament Pro at $111 is as good as it gets. If I didn't already have one I'd jump on that.

I just bought two Tatula 100 BC for $77 a piece. I wasn’t even in the market for these but the reviews are way too good for me to pass on 50% off. We get a lot of sales at 20% or so often but it’s rare to get 50%. I have two older reels that are showing age and this became a great reason to replacement them with a solid option. 
 

I have two Tatula Elites so I am hoping this is a decent comparison. I don’t expect the same distance or fit and finish but these…are $77 and not $250. I got the 7.3 model which should be a good do it all. They’ll be going on a medium heavy/fast and medium/fast rods.

I thought I had fought the urge so far but I think I've actually just been in a trance watching this gif instead of thinking about deals.  Thanks @MN Fisher

They turned off all the Shimao products. Says they are still in stock, but can't add to cart. Hmm. 

Looks like the Tat's and Fuegos sold out quick.

Ok I need that half hour of my life back... Actually came here to ask how to add an item to my cart ?
