basspro sale

Post by ertauber »

looking thru the circular this weekend I was wondering if there are really any great deals for the saltwater fishermen. Any comments?

I do stop by BassPro every once in awhile but in comparing the exact same lure prices between Academy and BP, the cost will be almost $2 more at BP. I believe they are building a BPS Store in Gainesville right at one of the I-75 interchanges, though.

Given my druthers I'd rather shop at Kevin's. They offer fair prices and expert service, which is hard to find at most of the big box stores.

Yeap, I was excited each time a box store came to Tally. Kevin's has always had better prices and the right lures....
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

Prices are much better at academy. My 3 bank charger died after 10 years. I found it as Bps for $199. I didn't think academy would carry one, but stoped by to see. They had the same charger for $169. For rods, reels and tackle, I'll always shop at Kevin's, but if they don't have what I need, then I'll try academy before heading to bps.

I priced a meat grinder at Academy Sunday for $299.00 and the same grinder at BPS is $449,00.

My experience/opinion is that Academy is the best. Kevins is OK pricewise. Don't forget WalMart.
I go to Jax once a month for my business and always stop at Strike Zone.
I always stop at Basspro when I'm down in the Keys 'cause its like a museum/funhouse, but I usually don't buy much.

Kevin's gets 98 percent of my business! Good prices, great service, and I get that personal feeling when I am there. They are just as willing to share information as they are to make a sale. Of course they would prefer to sell stuff, but they don't act as if I am wasting their time when I am just shopping.

I shop Academy and Gander Mountain when I'm in Valdosta. Academy always has great prices on most of their stuff, and a great selection. They had great prices on kayaks if anybody is in the market for one.
