Really??? : : Mass hysteria over a BPS flyer.

They must have ran out of paper, I have only got what? 10 catalogs since the start of 2011.

Yeah idk why I'm all hyped up about it. I guess being stuck in all winter is why, but i know once i see it they will have the same things as last year, but its still nice to look at them.

what I see is good is  5 for $10 Terminator Spinnerbaits and 3 bags for 10 bucks BPS "Senkos".

I love those stuff

Don't shoot the messenger. Just passing along what was told to me. Like I said, I was quite surprised to hear what was coming out of his mouth.

Nothing personal, but these things get repeated over and over on forums like this as if it's gospel.

In my experience, the managers at BPS are typically no more knowledgable than the teenage girls running the registers when discussing factory warranties and the reasons why the big companies do what they do. I had one tell me that the bad cork on a Shimano rod wasn't covered under warranty...even after Shimano told me to ship it back for replacement. :

If you want to know the truth, don't ask the manager @ BPS, contact Shimano.

I resent that fact. I am a cashier at BPS and feel like I know a great deal about the products in store and even more about fishing and hunting products.

Hey guys,

I'm looking to get a new baitcaster from BPS. Really looking forward to the spring classic sale. The reel trade in sale, have any of you done this before? Is it worth trading a used reel for a new one. I have a couple of reels that I could trade up. If BPS donates them to charity, that sound like a win,win!

Why do you resent the statement ? you're not a teenage girl , are you ?

You're only going to get a certain amount off the reel you're buying dependent on how much the reel is you are buying..

As far as the reel trade-in - unless you're looking at a BPS brand you may find a better price online.  That said I don't mind spending a few extra bucks supporting my local BPS store.  It's the baits that usually make the classic a good deal for me.

teenage guy. I knew someone would say that though.

Any boat covers on sale??? Man, I need to find a copy of the ad somewhere.

I feel your pain! You would think someone would post the flyer!

Per the Bass Pro Facebook fan page....earlier today they stated that information should be on the website "later this week." Ahhh this wait is killing me 

I get bps flyers about every week and a half. My mom hides 'em from me though! ;D

You need to get 'em from your friends and then hide them under your mattress.

It says view the circular online but it is not showing yet.

Cracks me up:

5 or 6 catalogs a year, usually in triplicate

2-3 emails a week

Flyers for lesser sales weeks in advance, usually in triplicate

Biggest sale flyer of the year out at the last minute...

priceless   :

I'm not worked up, I think it is funny. They inundate you with paper and web broadcasts until it is one that this audience happens to be waiting for.

Got my Flier today, not impressed. A couple things that  are fair (for a deal) mostly disappointed though, only 2 pros giving ho-hum seminars. :'(

Got to at least see who will be doing the seminars out my way (deals not online yet). Bummer that I don't know any of the pros' names considering the number of shows and how much reading I do.

I see its finally on there website...Nothing to get me to drive 2 hours for...

Same for me - I have a 190 mile round-trip and there's not enough savings on anything I want in the sale flyer to pay for my gas and time. However, if you live close to a BPS, it would be worth a trip, there ARE some things on sale at pretty good prices including 20%/25% savings on baits and other stuff that might be worth a look.

The BPS PQ and CL BC reels are at their usual sale prices. I "need" another CL but I think I will try to get price matching on a phone order.

Well the ad made me happy.  A lot of items that are on sale, I just purchased last week.  Now to call and get my refund!

Hey Goose are you in east TN?  There's a new BPS in sevierville. Is that the store you're talking about when you mention a 190 mile round trip drive?
