I held back this year and I only spent $ 240.00. Two reels,line, and plastic's that I don't need,hooks. I had to load up on them spin-shot hooks.

Just over $100 unless I forgot about something .

$50, of my own $, the rest was points and gift cards, so maybe $150?

I spent $320 CDN for a 7:1 JM Carbonlite for my brother and a Daiwa T3 Ballistic HS for myself.

About $250?? JM carbonlite reel and 7' MH Crucial crank rod using the trade ins for both.

Something like $2K, but I bought a trolling motor, two rods, and four reels, as well as a bunch of baits.

J what trolling motor did you end up with? Just curious!

Same thing I already had, Maxxum 70. Actually have three of the things now, but only a back up and the new one work. Got it on sale for $759 and will get a $50 BPS card as a rebate, along with the points.

Got ya!

I actually didn't spend a dime this year....there's a first for everything!

I think I was close to $125, Pflueger Supreme XT, glass beads, havoc plastics, 1 KVD 1.0 to round things out. I got in on the reel trade in and had $50 in gift cards

$1111.14.

Two phone orders: first for 2 JM Carbonlite baitcasters witih price matching for the in-store sale price; second order for a Humminbird 798ci SI.

Still need a new TM battery and maybe another rod and then hopefully I can keep the bait monkey away 'till next winter...

Much less than in years past at BPS. I think I spent roughly 200 bucks this year in the store. Was nice to see the Dania location selling some new products though. I buy the majority of my stuff online now from various other places.

650.00, then spend 100.00 at ganders sale, and rounded it abut 100.00 at dicks, but i had lots of coupons and certificates at dicks

$30. Everything I wanted was cheaper from local stores ( Walmart , academy, etc) than the stuff on sale at BPS. I was pretty disappointed. The biggest value that I saw were the bps line of reels but it wasn't one of the things I needed.

I did not spend a thing. I very seldom buy anything from BPS anymore. Their C/C is thru Bank Of America & they are part of the finical problems we are having. It's called greed so BPS is off my list because of Bank of America. I did inform BPS of that & they chose not to respond.

$0.00

Paintball killed all fishing funds, but I did pick up an 07 vicious ego, an 08 etek with star frame, and a rotor.

That's cute. No really. It is.

Rather than blame what we should, the people that don't know how to manage their money, we blame business. Lay blame where blame lies, man. If people are too stupid not to spend money they don't have they deserve it. Meanwhile, I'll continue to ride one of the best years I've had for investments in companies like BOA and reap the benefits of all they offer. It's not greed, man. Welcome to capitalism.

Nothing for me, I don't drive all the way out to our regional BPS very much. I'll stop if we are in the area, but we were not this year.

The wallet was willing, but I couldn't find a free day to make the 4 hour round trip.

yea they didnt have extravogant sales, but i needed a bunch of stuff, since i am starting big in the bass world, i ended up getting a vendetta, quatum smoke, PQ, shimano compre rod, so i had a few big ticket item to begain with.

I'm keeping it secret!! Suffice it to say I live near a BPS and made several trips...

So did you purchase anything from BPS with all those benefits you reaped?
