Stoty Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 SOO many fantastic deals! I could have spent thousands! I was really happy with the sale, unlike the Toronto Fishing Show. Highly recommend going if you can.
waterwolf Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 visited the big classic today and had a great time spending\saving money. lol lots of deals on a variety of things i did'n't need ,,,, but having too many is always better than the alternative. grabbed some rubber swimbaits ,which are new tackle for me , a cheap back-up reel,just 'cause, some trout spinners and a few booyah spinnerbaits. a net, trailer hooks for the spinnerbaits , a bunch of storm lures and acouple packs of stren sonic braid. everything was on sale so it didn't hurt too much. wasn't all that busy there at 3:30 so parking wasn't the usual nightmare. depending on how late i stay on simcoe tomorrow i might stop in again on the way home,,, just'cause.
Cudz Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 I managed to drop 2 hun there this morning. I got most of what I was looking for including a reel, a bunch of treble hooks for my cranks, a net, a digital scale, some line, a few crankbaits, a double bucktail spinner and a claking rap. Would have loved to shop more but I was alone and have 3 very active daughters of which the eldest is 7 and the youngest is 2. That in itself was a full time job. They were pretty good because I told them we would go the build-a-bear store if they behaved. I will have to make it back there during March break.
Stern Rules Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Yeah I spent $350 there. Got 14 spools of that Rapala line that was on for $1.99. What a deal. Got 35 of the PM spinners, a couple baitcasting rods and that gripmaster with scale and a few other things for the guys down home. Too bad they didn't have the frenzy's on again this year. Lots of wiggle o's left but I stocked up on those last year.
EC1 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Is that Rapala Line any good? They were all in weird pound tests - 17 , 20 , 14, and the lightest I found was 10. But I guess at 1.99 even if it is terrible you didn't waste too much money.
Stern Rules Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 I'm not sure how good a line it is but Rapala is a good brand so I bought some. You really had to dig to find lighter line. I found some 4 and 6 lb tough and long cast. Didn't see any 8 at all.
Stoty Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 I got there Friday afternoon, so there was a great selection of the line. I picked up 10 spools. 6, 10, 14 lbs test. Its pretty good line (for mono). Unreal deal though eh.
tomO Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I used the rapala line a few years ago and hated it , it broke really easy.
beertech Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I bought one spool aswell. Just bought mine for backing for braid. For 2 bucks its perfect.
Stoty Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 I used the rapala line a few years ago and hated it , it broke really easy. oh really? I've used it on my mono rods for a couple years now, never had a problem. bad batch maybe?
Rich Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I found the abrasion resistance and stretch in the Rapala line kinda blew. Once it stretched out (which happened pretty quick) it was useless. But for 2 bucks... why not?
