Pumped to have gotten some Havoc baits for $1.50 at Dicks a couple days ago. I believe the sale ends 7/23 or something around there - it's 25% off clearanced priced items. The baits I got were Craw Fattys in Louisiana Bug, and Hawg Hawg in green pumpkin/blue and smokey green pumpkin. Never tried these baits but have good reviews...
is it all clearance items cuz that's how I got my citica for 45 bucks last year and hoping to do it again this year but stock up on revo's but if its just baits that wont work
the sign and ad says clearance fishing equipment and lures 25% off...
hmmmm interesting time to send the wife on a mission Friday
anything ending in .97 or .47 is clearance and an additional 25% off the red tag. Look closely to others though, sometimes a clearance item doesn't have a red tag there and you can miss a sweet deal.
There aren't many good deals as far as rods and reels go. Last year there were a bunch of baitcasters from Shimano on clearance because they redid their lineup. This year there are some Shimano spinning reels on clearance. I think it's just the Symetre and Saros models that are marked for clearance. As far as rods, there may be a few St Croixs but that varies a lot between stores and then some cheapo Daiwa and Field and Stream rods and a few Carrot Stix and Skeet Reese rods. Also, the Daiwa Takara baitcasters and spinning reels.
Other than that, it's mostly terminal and lures. I saw a lot of Strike King (Rage Tail and otherwise) some Zoom, some YUM, a bit of Powerbait, a BUNCH of Havoc, some Strike King hardbaits, some Bandit, some Xcalibur, lots of Rapala, some colors of the Reaction Innovations Kinky Beavers, some Terminator spinnerbaits and buzzbaits, and a little bit of Big Bite stuff.
For the most part, there will be unmarked clearance stuff. There's just far too much of it to go through and find all of the lures that dropped to clearance. Some stores will be better at others than separating the clearance from the regular price stuff.
Talked to a guy at dicks today that said everything will go to 50% off the clearance items on the 15th

For what it's worth, that might be regional. I have not heard any such communication as of yet.
I've been busy working so haven't had any time to get out to Dicks yet this week. My buddy swears he saw a Abu Garcia Pro Max with Vengeance Rod combo on sale for $60, but that seems too cheap to make sense. I'm thinking it was either a vengeance rod with a shoddy reel or a Pro Max reel with a shoddy rod lol. Not that either are exactly top of the line, but for $60 I'd pick up that combo regardless.
Just from looking at catalogs, it doesn't seem like they have much Shimano or other high end rods/reels on clearance, although there are a few Rapala hardbaits I'd like to pick up for ~$3.
Mine didn't have any baits on sale yesterday. Didn't check out the rods/ reels though.

Yes, those combos were on sale for $79 plus a $20 rebate that makes them $59

At the very least they should have had regular price lures buy 4 get 1 free. As for the clearance, like I said, some stores are better than others at pulling out and labeling the clearance. I'm sure they have clearance they probably just haven't scanned it and separated it from the rest.

Hmm, maybe I didn't look hard enough then. I didn't see any clearance items marked, so probably they haven't separated it from the rest, like you say.
looked at the online flyer and didn't see 50% off clearance fishing tackle/lures. the 25% off sale was in last weeks though.
Clearance lures, terminal, and flies are now ringing 50% off the clearance price. (price ending in .97)
nice!

X2
Went in today and picked up some stuff for 50% off clearance price. Get it while you can!
Last year this is how I got my citica for $45 I just told the wife to go try and find me some revo's
No Revos. The only clearance reels are gonna be the Shimano Symetre, Saros, and Sahara. Other than that there may be a few stores with some random Quantum Tour Editions that have been on clearance for a while but it's unlikely.

You missed out! There are virtually no clearance baitcasters left worth talking about...and I've looked, believe me.
*EDIT* I just checked again and there are something like 100+ Citica201E out there, about 100+ Quantum Tour Editions (combining high speed and reg. speed) about 40 Revo SX LH and that's pretty much it.
I got my quantum nitrous combo from there for 29.99! I don't know if it's a good baitcaster for a beginner though. Can someone tell me if it is an alright reel and rod for the price? The reel is like super smooth.
It is a 6'8 quantum nitrous rod.
My cousin had that combo last year. Worked well for a few trips and the reel just went to hell. I think some teeth inthe gears were grinding down or broke off. It only cost him around 20$ so he just chalked it up to a loss and trashed it.
I went today after missing out on a citica last night. Dicks had 2 citica 201e models left, and I managed to buy one for $60. I can't wait to get it set up and get started, especially at this price!
Heres my latest steal:
Rage Craws in hard candy - $1.75
KVD squarebills (1.5 and 2.5) in red sexy shad - $2
KVD sexy frog in copper frog - $3
KVD sexy dawg (and jr.) in clear sexy shad and sexy ghost minnow - $3
Havoc Hawg Hawg in smokey green pumpkin and Okeechobee Craw - $1
Havoc Devil Spears (all colors) -$1
Havoc Wide Loads (all colors) - $1
Zoom baby brush hogs in green pumpkin - $1.50
Scrounger Shads (all colors) - $1
The KVD frog wasn't marked as clearance. Before going in, I looked at DSG's website to see what they had on sale online and it seems it's the same as in store. Pretty excited DSG finally has a website where they sell fishing tackle not because I'll buy from them online but know what the price is before buying in store! Everything in store is definitely not marked right. Keep an eye on the UPC's...
The thing that makes it difficult is that often times only certain colors of a lure go on clearance. What happens is people see one color of lure X and think all of the lure Xs are on sale when it's really only that one color.
