Actually, if you compare the flyers, some prices are the same, some are lower and some are even higher in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spincast Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Can anyone help me out here? I'll be there on the Sunday GBW and I have no problem picking one up for you if no one is getting there sooner. PM me if you want me to. We can figure out how to get it across TO pretty easy I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adempsey Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I think that reel is a daily special?? So Friday March 25th only. Most likely you would have to be there right when the store opens as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snidley Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) AVOID at all costs BassPro reels. They are awful. Their rods on the other hand are very good as are their lures. For some reason they really produce terrible reels. There are many better, cheaper reels to purchase. Edited March 5, 2011 by Snidley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I have a BPS pro qualifier and it is a fine reel and by all accounts JMS signature reels are very good aswell. Now if your talking about the 30 and 40 dollar BPS reels you maybe right!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JMS series is the companies pride and joy so it should be better then the other BPS branded ones. just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2jack2 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I own a Johnny Morris Elite (blue color) B/C reel for last 4 years, never let me down, I am getting the new 2011 model this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have 2 bait casters and one with the flipping feature.No issues as of yet.4 yrs. Im thinking you got a bad reel and expressing your OP. Have you had the reel for 4 years or have you fished with it for 4 years? In your case there is a big difference. lol GBW buy a $3 ice reel from walmart for the trade in and you get and extra like $20 or $30 bucks back depending on the original price.

GBW Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 So, what new rod to buy to go with the new baitcaster? the St. Croix Triumph, Wright & McGill Skeet Reese Signature Series or Gary Loomis TFO Signature one? For the rod I have $100 to spend and it's going to be a backup to sit in the boat when needed (well, that's the plan). It will be a jerkbait rod for casting and trolling. Thoughts?

Live2fish85 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I know I'm going to be spending alot lol lost alot of my tackle this year when it was stolen. But I have a quick question I'm buying a St. Croix rod for flipping and I am wondering if the Pro Qualifier or the Nitro would be best I may use it for crankbaiting the odd time but likely will use my other St. Croix.

Bernie66 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 If I had $200 to spend, there are a lot of reels I would look at before touching a BPS model. I am with Snidley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beertech Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I don;t see much for deals to be honest. My local tackle stores everyday prices are cheaper. 3 quarters of the flyer isn;t even sale prices. eg pfeuger supreme xt 149 at basspro. 129 every day of the week at local tackle store pfeuger patriarch 199 on sale 20 off. local tackle store 189 all year. electronics and trolling motors are marked up crazy to begin with. check your prices people email your local tackle stores or check your online stores before you buy into their sale prices.

Thats a fair statement but Mr Snidley statement that BPS reels are awful is not necessarily accurate, he must be talking about the 30 dollar reels! The BPS branded equipment that I have is pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
