fishing user avatarCWB reply : 

Probably going to hit it later today. Our pros up here (Chicago) are going to be 4 walleye guys. Guess they should re-name it Walleye Pro Shops.

I remember waiting to meet Jimmy Houston here a few years ago.

Big disappointment this year. :-[

Lake Fork Tackle- 10" worms and Tube Craws (6 bags total)

Jewell Eakins Jigs (8)

LOL. I used to be a hard core jig guy, but now I fish with cranks most of the time. I like to have a variety and try new cranks and cranks other people have had success with on this board. Hence, the Daiwa, Xcaliber and Yo-Zuri Drum lipless cranks.


fishing user avatarbhorlings reply : 

I'm heading to my closest store in Portage, IN next Friday. We have a few guys going... There's going to be a lot of money and points spent!!!!

I've got over $200 in points and already have about $400 spent in my head. This could get scary really quick.


fishing user avatarcrankbait2009 reply : 

Well since i have a BPS about 30 minutes away i did decide to stop in and see what kind of deals they had.  there were a few things on sale but no sales on anything i was interested in.  so since i bought some crankbaits prior, i had to buy a *bigger* tacklebox to hold all.  so i did get a BPS bag style tackle box that was on sale for like $25 compared to $40.  I will go back on the 6th of March, they are having a few seminars that id like to see.  so we'll see then what hops in my cart  ;D


fishing user avatarOther. reply : 

I was planning on going tomorrow, I had plans to go tomorrow for the past 2 weeks! Now I find out I can't go. Such a bummer. Jimmy Houston and Woo Daves were gonna be there. I may hit up BPS later on and I plan to get a BPS 7'0 medium crankin' stick then pick up stuff that is on sale.


fishing user avatarjimmieO reply : 

Set out to get a new rod.......

paid 60 bucks for the KVD signature series 7ft. MH...found a way to spend another 80...

trailer hooks

drop shot hooks

2 packs kinami "senko" style worms (awesome by the way)

20lb XPS flourocarbon-ONLY 11 BUCKS!

new weigh bag

2cycle oil

few other things...Definitely didn't plan on spending the 140 i did...


fishing user avatarDean reply : 

I went to the one in Foxborough, MA since we were already down there, had to force dad to stop haha. Picked up a nice Daiwa Megaforce 100TSH Casting Reel. They had them for $59.99 on sale since it was the classic. Sits quite nicely on my BPS crankin' stick I bought has year!   :)


fishing user avatarHannons Hound reply : 

Went to Foxboro BPS yesterday picked up 10 LC R. Clunn 3" wake baits, at $11.44 a piece, these were a no brainer for me. Also stocked up on frogs, top water baits, and rage shads. :)


fishing user avatarSam reply : 

Waiting for the day to pick up some Quick Silver oil from Mercury. I think it is on March 12th.

Met Rondef and justcrazy4bass plus Sydney Bass at the Richmond BPS which was super.

Took pics of Ron and Jason with Woo Daves and Teddy Carr. Hope they post them on the site.

I picked up some coffee scented Rage Tail baits.

Otherwise, I am set for this year, other than for the two G. Loomis rods I will be getting later this month.  :)


fishing user avatarrondef reply : 

Sam, Jason and I enjoyed meeting you and talking to you at BPS yesterday. Thanks for taking the pictures for us, we really appreciate it.

I picked up a Kevin VanDam Signature Series (KVD30A) spinning reel, 10lb XPS flourocarbon line, Stacey King finesse jigs, XPS Laser Eye shallow crankbaits, drop shot weights, coffee scented Rage Tail Lizards and Lobsters and some Strike King Red-Eye Shads.

We attended Woo Daves "Shallow Water Worm Fishing" seminar which I felt he did a great job explaining and demonstrating his techniques. At the end of the seminar Woo did a Q&A session and right before we left Woo signed a new BPS hat that Jason bought.

Here is the picture of Jason, Woo Daves and I.

How is the BPS in Richmond? Is the Richmond store usually stocked pretty good?  


fishing user avatarrondef reply : 

I have been there three times and I have almost always been able to find what I was looking for.  Yesterday they had all but two items that I was looking for.

Spring Great Outdoors Days biggest show and sale of the year. It starts March 3rd. WWW.CABELAS.COM


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

I went to the BPS in St. Charles on Saturday morning. I wanted to get more jigs, and maybe some different trailers. I ended up only buying new fishing license for 2009. The place was a madhouse. I am planning on going back after work one day this week.


fishing user avatarTheRushFactor reply : 

I went to BPS Friday night in Baltimore, and I'm kind of low on money at the moment, but I managed to get a pack of Berkley 7" power worms(blue fleck), a Spro JR. frog(just started to get into froggin), a black/blue jig, and a pack of chigger craws(3").

Btw, it was my first time in a BPS, and I was blown away. I must have spent 4 hours in there with my roommate walking down every aisle. I gotta go back sometime this march before fishing really heats up.


fishing user avatarBlue Streak reply : 

I have never been to a BPS store, I guess the closest one is Cincinnatti which is three hours away.I am only eleven miles away from the Wheeling Cabela's though and it has a good selection of fishing tackle. Their sale starts March 5th. Actually that place is too darn close I spend all of my beer money there.


fishing user avatarBUCKEYEone reply : 

Went to the Rossford (toledo), OHIO store yesterday and got to see Hank Parker and KVD.  That place was crazy-busy.  The Pros started at 12, so when we showed up at 11:30 we had to circle the parking lot of 15 minutes to catch a parking spot.  It was great to see KVD and Hank up there giving tips.  That place was a little too crowded for me, you could barely walk down the aisles.  I managed to get out having spent just over $100, stocked up on eakins jigs, paca craws, rage lizards, and a couple xr50s.

I was thinking about going Saturday also , glad I didn't! Guess I'll try later this week.


fishing user avatarMuddy reply : 

Well I got some jig heads, quite a few actually. I can now say after being at the Harrisburg store 3 times, THIS STORE IS A DUMP! Especially compared to the Cabelas in Hamburg.

The staff at the reel counter were not that well informed, ABOUT BPS REELS, they would not honor a catalog price for another customer i saw arguing with them and the store was poorly stocked

 The catalog does offer a good selection of some nice products, particularly their house branded reels but I am more pleased with Cabelas, by far!


fishing user avatarCaptain Chaos II reply : 

Rained all weekend but did get there on Saturday.  Too bad cuz I like to take the kids fishing out front.

Got Paca craws+chunks.  Rage Lizard.  Few finesse jigs+swimming jigs.  Few shakey head jig heads.  + a kids tent for my kids.  They were all out of the TT and Spro little swimbaits also were out of the sebile swimmers.

I behaved for the most part.  Been stocking up all winter so my tacklebox is overflowing at this point.

Can't wait for a warming period so I can start tearing up my new baits.  I need some room.


fishing user avatarandamtoft reply : 

I went saturday to the auburn ny store and picked up:

2 bass pro woo daves extreme rods for 70 instead of 100

plano water proof storage box 25% off

strike king spinner bait

rage tail trailers.

I think im gonna go back and take advantage of their buy 2 things of flouro get one free


fishing user avatarkickbasskid reply : 

You are all so lucky. I couldn't get a ride down so I have to order off the internet :):D :D I got a St. Croiz 7' MH Mojo Bass rod, 5 Lunker Lure rattleback jigs in green pumpkin and a rapala mini 50lb. electrical scale.

I may be wrong, but I doubt the guys working the reel counter have the authority to price match. That customer would be far better off going to the customer service desk and asking them to take care of it. I've never had them refuse to match their catalog or online prices.


fishing user avatarMuddy reply : 

I watched a guy get a price match on a Daiwa reel advertised locally for 12 or 13 bucks  less than BPS, by the manger that was the same one who gave the guy trying to get them to match a price for one of their own products,  from their online division a hard time. I was trying to find out service information and had to wait on the same line, so I was watching what went on.

I keep trying to find these hornets! the BPS sales guy didn't know anything about them and I searched without any luck.  What section of baits does your BPS have them in?


fishing user avatarTpayneful reply : 

I have been to many Bass Pro shops including the headquarters in Missouri and the Richmond store is quite good.  The store is twice the size of the one in Hampton Roads and well stocked.  They didn't have an Extreme 7' MH rod on the floor but they had one in back and immediately retrieved it for me.  I also purchased:

Johnny Morris Signature Series Baitcaster

Tru-Tungsten Baby Bass 4" swim bait

Senkos

Gamakatzu hooks

Horny Toads

Tru-Tungsten bullet weights

Camo 15lb braid

Livewell screen

Then I went to Greentops and bought

Trickworms

Roboworms

Matt Lures Baby Bass

The wife freaked out when she saw the receipts! But she did tell me to buy myself a birthday present before I left!!!!  I am doing my part to stimulate the economy!


fishing user avatarfishinfiend reply : 

I went back today and picked up a few more things.

Lucky Craft RC 3.5DD

Lucky Craft RC 2.5RT

1/8 oz shakey heads- 7/0

1/4 oz shakey heads- 6/0


fishing user avatarThe_Natural reply : 

I haven't been to the Classic yet; the only thing I need is more Beaver Bugs. The BPS Beaver Bug is lumped in with all the other generic beaver imitations, but it is totally different. It's a cross between a beaver and a tube; a gliding tube if you will. This thing dominates...especially in Roadkill. It's one of those baits that works so well you want to send some to everyone on the board just so they know what you are talking about. The new Tube Dart has my attention as well, and I will be buying a few packs of them as well. The Tube Dart is basically a Vertical Lures Tube-X with twice the tenticles. Anyway....Cabelas is competing with their own sale, but it is their HUGE clearance area that emptied my pockets. I bought like 60 pointers and countless Spro Aruku Shads.

I'm a banker...I make a middle class workin' mans salary. If you know me from the forum, you know I am the bargain hunter extrordinaire.  Shopping constantly is the key to great deals. I was going to buy a new rod, but the opportunity to buy a bunch of pointers at 70% off changed that. I'll probably sell them on here or ebay them. Even the Scents like Bang and Kick-N-Bass....we're talking $1-$1.50 each. When you find them at that price you buy ALL of them.

Makes sense. Can't beat 70% off. Thanks for sharing!


fishing user avatarThe_Natural reply : 

My pic of the pointers I scored is neat and all, but I would seriously heed my advice and buy some beaver bugs.  I'm tellin' ya...it's like Roadwarrior talking about the fat Ika (granted I'm sending him some beaver bugs, so we'll see how they compare).  I use Reaction Innovations Beavers as well, but that Roadkill Beaver Bug dominates.

The Memphis BPS has them in the same section as the small soft

swimbaits. Last weekend I was in Columbia, MO and they "didn't

carry" Hornets nor had anyone ever heard of them. I found them

on a stand-up display, randomly placed on the row with soft plastics.

They only had 3/8 oz so I bought them all. Now they really "don't

carry" Swarming Hornets!

::)


fishing user avatarBlue Streak reply : 

Thanks for the heads up on the Beaver Bug Natural. I do very well with the Sweet Beaver and just about any soft bait in the roadkill camo color. Guess I better get an order off to BPS.

Two new ram mounts for my electronics. They were not on sale though.

My purchases

1 Pack of Tube rattles

1 Garlic Scent Dip it

Some 4/0 & 5/0 hooks

I think I'm done til I start losing things

fishing user avatarbkraig4life reply : 

  I got to meet Jimmy Houston, what a great guy! He was totally into any question about anything fishing and could not have been more informative. Everythig we asked, he took us right to the aisle that was sold at and then explained why he would modify a given lure or pick a different bait then explained why it worked for him, without any pushing of his own product. I thought he would try to push whatever he is sponserded by but he just is into fishing. What a great moment!


fishing user avatarBtech reply : 

Didn't stick around for much of their demo's and such. The place was packed. But i did Conn my wife into letting me get my new Boat Seats . Got 2 Passenger /pilot seats and 2 1/4 circle ones for fish in ... regularly 160$ walked out for 102$ ... Saves me more money for a bilge pump!

Similar experience at the Harrisburg BPS: Online sale of BPS Swimbait kits $39.99 vs in store price of $59.99. I talked to the tackle guys (one said customer service would match and another said i had to bring in a printout of the sale from the Website). Went to Customer service - they refused to match the price - called the tackle guy to the counter and he treated me like I was the a55! I went home and ordered online. Irritating. >:)

fishing user avatarIDbasser reply : 

I went to the BPS in Las Vegas while I was there.  I got a pic with Edwin Evers, and a hat autographed.  I also got a new Lowrance color fish finder for the bow of my boat.  I wanted some Netbait Paca Chunks but that store apparently did not carry them.  I even printed off the price of them from tackle warehouse to try to get a price match. >:)  I watched a couple of seminars from Edwin Evers, and they were good.  It was fun.


fishing user avatarGreNation reply : 

I ended up restocking my jig collect, I got everything from swim jigs, to finesse jigs, to football jigs.  Primarily the black & blue & PBJ.  After last season the PBJ is one of my fav's.  We ended up having all walleye guys at our BPS, so that was a little disappointing.
