I got a $100 gift card to Bass Pro that I'm willing to sell for $90. I just hate that place because everything is over priced. Any takers?

I never said I was a good salesman...

though some of their items are definitely on the higher-end of the price scale, they do have some decently priced items!

Go load up on soft-plastics or buy a spool of leader and line; maybe even pick up a nice Columbia windbreaker!


(I don't work for them, but they are a forum and NFCFC sponsor! )

I’m sorry to hear you feel that way, In case you didn’t know we do price match any of our competitors, we are in the middle of our Spring Fishing Classic and we have some great deals going on in our store through this Sunday, we will also have several vendors and pros in the store from 11-4 this Saturday and Sunday doing seminars throughout the day. I also want to mention that we will have a fishing pond set up for the kids on the Tracker Boat Pad inside. I would like to invite you and everyone else to come by and check us out if you still would not care to shop with us I will cash out your gift card and give you the $100 cash.

Thanks
Chris

That is a strong response. So, last year when I bought a minn Kota on board battery charger, bps had it for $199. I didn't think academy would have it, but I checked. $169. So am I supposed to bring you proof that it's $30 less and you will give me the same price? Or do I save a trip and buy it where it was already lower? What kind of proof do y'all need? Thanks for any clarification

I'll give you $80 for it and pick it up Saturday or Sunday. I need some new boat seats for the Gheenoe so I can take Dad fishing.

Chris has always done me right! This seems like a more than fair offer.

Chris, I do have a question. On the saltwater soft sided tackle bags, why are they NOT made with none corrosive zippers? Some smaller bags are but the larger ones aren't. The mechanism that zips and un-zips corrodes. The two zipper tracks themselves are made of a none corrosive material.

Thanks for everything you do to support us fishermen.

Salty Gator, you ask good questions. My daughter takes pictures with her iphone of her shopping items and on the last store, if their price is higher, she'll show her picture and ask for the matching price instead of back tracking. I know this wouldn't cover all the bases but might get half way to first?

I'm not the Chris you were talking to, but I am a Chris that can assist in responding. Which soft-sided tackle bags do you speak of specifically? I have the offshore angler bag (white, 18"x10"x10") and have yet to have an issue and I'm going on my 3rd full year on it. The zippers can get a big sticky sometimes, but a quick splashdown and/or spray of wd40 and I'm good to go. Like any equipment used in the salt, an occassional splash down of fresh water is always good

Thanks for the tip, Chris! I'll look at that one. I can't answer which one I have. It is a top loader with all kind of pockets all around the out side. I call it my "Gator" bag because it is Gator colors. I love it but the zippers corrode and stick even with regular oiling. I will admit not washing with fresh water.

We can either look it up on line or if you have a screen shot of something you found on line, if you were sent an email add we will match those on any brick and mortar store.

The offshore angler is the only soft sided tackle bag we have with plastic zippers but I will pass on your issue to our design team and see if anything is in the works.

Im very grateful to Bass Pro for the Military discount that they give.

Thanks Chris. Seems to be an easy fix to me but they must have a reason.

My offer is still out there on the BPS card. If my offer is too low let me know and we'll discuss it. I'll be in Tallahassee Sunday to pick up some seats that are on sale and some replacement pliers for the one's resting on the bottom in 60 feet of water off Carrabelle.

Is the discount for active, retired, veteran, or all.

Chris, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to respond. I asked the other day if Bass Pro matched prices and I guess I was given the incorrect response. The fact that you took the time to respond and clarified the price match means a lot. I may have to come and give you guys a second look.

I can say my father was there the other day and was quite pleased with the customer service he received from one of your representatives. He is new to boating and fishing and appreciated all of the advice he was given. He's actually sitting on a private dock by Mashes Sands fishing with your products right now. I hope he does better than I did at St Marks today... Skunked

Thanks!
