The Urban Fisherman Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Hey all, Well, I've got hte winter blues and figured I better go spend a few dollars on fishing gear. I was in need for a new ultra-light so that was my starting point. When we got to Lebaron's I realised they had re-furb minnkota's on sale and boy what a steal - the exact motor I was going to buy this summer ( 30 lb thrust endura w/ forward & reverse speeds) was just over 80 bucks!!!!!! they're 159.00 @ canadian tire! Also got myself a new Ultralight Berkley Lightnight rod - seems like a nice rod for 37 bucks..so all in all a great day shopping and if you're in the market for a new electric motor you should check out the sale they have going on...they've got bow mounts also! Cheers, UF
BFSC Kevin Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) just a tip about those, they are refurbished. but if you don't mind, not a bad deal. and the spring classic is happening soon at bass pro, im waiting to see what is there first. i doubt they'll sell out of those minn kotas in these two weeks.

The Urban Fisherman Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Posted February 24, 2007 Hey Kevin, Yepp, the Re-fub's have a one year warrantee on them, a little less than the usual two year, but I had the same motor in the past and it treated me well so I went with it.....I can't wait for the spring classic either...my old man's comin down from sudbury for the weekend! should be fun! UF
John Bacon Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 Does that model have the built it Maximizer? I do need to be pick up a motor for my inflatable. Thanks for the tip.
boatman Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 You can't beat that deal. I have no problem with a refurb when its a quality product like that. Basspro had them last year for $99.99 and it was the cheapest around. This year they are back up to $120. CTC as much as I love them always over price stuff like that. You can usually find better fishing deals at your local tackle shop.
Mike the Pike Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 I was at Le Barons the other day and saw the same thing reconditioned Mine Kota with Maximiser 50lbs of thrust for $259.00.
BFSC Kevin Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) hey mike, 259? i saw them for $275... and when were the 50lbs discountinued anyone knows? opps. made an error, 275 not 175. Edited February 25, 2007 by kevin
The Urban Fisherman Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 Here's a link to the minn kita specials on lebaron's website: http://www.lebaron.ca/english/specials.htm BOATMAN: I was going to get an inflatable but talked my GF into letting me get a Bass Tender style boat.... Cheers, UF
Mike the Pike Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 I guess they determine the price by the age of the motor or perhaps you guys in Ontario pay less .Same company.I can not explain that one.
