For some reason the Cabela's Bargain Bin on their site has mostly gear that isn't on sale.

As expected, BPS will turn them into the K Mart of outdoors outfitters. No way will BPS allow them to have anything of better quality than you can get from them.

 

That's a real shame. One of the first things I noticed after the merge was the Tournament ZX line of rods disappeared. It was a line of technique specific bass rods in the $100-or-less range. They have no higher-end line of rods anymore. I don't know what line of BPS rods compares, so I probably wouldn't look to BPS-Cabela's for another one when and if I buy one.

Used to be a great place to get off season items. Since BPS has taken over I have noticed few items in there at any big discount..

I’ve noticed too,  but realized it’s because the models that had a sale price are now sold out.  For whatever reason they haven’t removed the lines from the bargain cave.  

 

Welcome to Johnny Morris marketing.

If something is on sale for 20% off it is usually at least 30% too high to begin with. This is another aspect of Johnny Morris marketing.

I just checked. Out of 185 items in the fishing/boating section of the bargain cave, only 6 were not listed as sale prices.

In the bargain cave there are 244 items in the soft plastic section alone. Only a handful are listed at sale price. Your looking at the “new this week “ section. I’m talking about the “bargain cave” section under fishing.
