Hey guys, you might want to check your local walmart fishing section this week. When i went in they had three boxes full of stuff on the counter, i asked, the lady said a dollar a piece. She also said on the wall in the next aisle, all the clearance was last years stuff. Also, everything a dollar. Here is the breakdown of what i got.
2 bags paca chunk trailers
2 bags zoom super flukes
1 bag Kinami flash
2 bags Zoom finesse worms
2 bags Yamamoto Senkos
2 Rapala Husky Jerks
1 Rapala Shad Rap
1 Rapala Orig. floater
1 Strike King Premier Spinnerbait
1 Strike King Elite Bleeding Buzzbait
All for 15 bucks. A dollar a piece. All the plastics were in the good colors, (green pumpkin, watermelon reds, etc...) I looked up the prices on the same items at Bass Pro, total came to 80.47. These are all great baits, and ones that i use often. The deals are out there. Few and Far between.
Wow, sweet deal! Was just in one of our local Walmart, saw nothing of the sort. Might have to check back.
scored a bunch of line and tungsten weights from my walmart.I will buy tungsten all day for 2.50 per pack and line for 2.50 per spool.also bought some dt 4 for 2 bucks.
Thanks cal, I nothiced yesterday our Walmart had items on sale and discontinued including rods. Our deals were not that sweet though. BuCoo rods were $99.99 plus they had scents and hooks on sale, but more like 20-30% off. The deals you mentioned may come so I'll have to check back daily!
Yea, i normally dont find very good deals, but was glad I did this time. They had a whole box of Rapala floaters, shad raps, DT, etc... for a dollar a piece. I was going to grab them all and resale on ebay, but i think i'll spread the wealth and let some other people get good deals as well.
Last week, my local Walmart was moving the fishing section and reorganizing. They had a little wall with clearence stuff. I got some Mustad KVD grip pin EWG hooks for 1.99 each. Not my normal hook brand, but it has a welded metal bait keeper and they are 2 bucks!! I also grabbed a handful of the Yum dingers for 1.00ea.
They only had the sale hooks in 3/0, 4/0, so i got 3 packs each!!
I stopped by mine today. I seen a few items marked down about 20%. Nothing much more than that. I didn't buy anything. I usually do score from time to time! A few years ago I cleaned up the Chatterbaits and Arkie football jigs. A buck a piece. I cleaned them out one time when they miss marked the Booyah Pond Magic baits. A buck a piece.
Nothing like that here. They are restocking with new items which means we are getting closer to spring. Of course we just got slammed with about 8 inches of snow but we are getting closer ... HA!
My walmart had a sale last year with lures but the sale was 30% off only. There wasn't much on sale either. Good job on scoring 80% off!
Wow nice score. Yeah the local WalMart didn't have anything here either. Of course the Wal Mart here isn't as cool as most of you guys as they only carry the crappy retail brands of rods/reels.
Hey guys, make sure you ask whoever is working the counter about the actual price. The Lady and the Dept. manager fella did an override for me to try and get all the things moved out for the new line of stuff. Most of the items were marked with a sticker at 5.00 or 4.50, they told me a dollar on all of the ones with those stickers. They told me they wanted last years stuff out fast, and i told them that the bass i fish for dont care how old the baits were. haha!
I picked up 39 items for .25 cents ea., a lot of those were generic hooks and other terminal tackle. However I did get 8 packs of 3/0 gami's, two rebel poppers, 3 cotton cordell super spots, two arkie jigs, and 5 packs of luck e strike 4" worms. They have a new manager at the store. She told me that they had more to mark down in the up coming weeks, she also added they wouldn't all be for 25 cents!!
Man you all are getting some great deals. I dont make it into walmart much but I will make it a point to do so next week.
WOW...Mine had some Exaliber squarebill cranks on sale for 2.96 so I picked up a few. Those prices you got are ridiculous.
My local Walmart isn't like that at all, there's a stupid store manager that doesn't believe in a real clearance. The store is just about busting at the seems since all the old stock can't leave the store.
I don't really need anything but I am going to Wal-Mart tomorrow just to see if I can score a deal like yours.
You wont find that bait selection here. My guess is they just dont sell that much bass tackle. Ive found a couple deals over the years. If my walmart had netbait chunks for a $1, I wouldnt be leaving any of those behind.
Only thing at my wallyworld was Berkley Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon was $2 off. Wouldn't be so bad if it was a) my line brand and it was 200yd spools and not the 110yd spools.
Congrats on the deal though!
Got me some CC traps and jerkbaits for $1.96 each in Clewiston when I went for the FLW event.
Went to one of our local Walmart's tonight, some clearance items, but nothing the likes of what you guys are seeing.
However, I did note that they're now stocking VMC drop shot hooks with the integrated tag end holder. Believe they were $3.96 for a 6 pack.
Check all of your local walmarts, I have four within driving distance two had great deals but the other two barely had any clearance sales. I got $70 worth of stuff for 25 bucks
Last year i found a vendetta that was marked wrong and got it for $24. If you look hard enough you can usually find some great deals.

Might just do that, but will be difficult to justify to the CFO of the house if there are deals at the other locales, LOL.....
my walmart sucked it didnt have anything ! ha
Look around the store too. In mine they had a whole clearance section setup in the garden center on the opposite end of the store from the fishing aisle. Then I had to wade through all of the clearance stuff to find the few boxes of fishing stuff.
My local Wal-marts normally have a few things on sale, but not for $1 a piece. The only thing ever for $1 there was when they had the vicious displays set up in every walmart i went to.
My Walmart fishing department is so sparse, if I got 80% off on everything in the department, I could walk out with everything they have for about $6.00.....lol
Hootie
Selection up in my local Walmart is so bad I wouldn't take most of it even on sale.

Yeah us Ontario Residents do not get the good stuff like the guys from the SOUTH. Just another kick while we are down waiting for the season to open up, while they get to fish all year long.

Which zone are you in? I heard a few of them open up bass earlier this year.
But yeah, I would pay more just to fish sooner.

I am in zone 16, I'm contemplating a trip up (zone 17?) to get the 2 weeks head start. Still a long ways away.

I feel your pain, believe me.
Not much here either....not enough of a discount to entice me into buying.

Geeze.........gotta love Texas!
My local tackle outlet had 5 and 6 inch Yamamoto Senkos for 2.97 today. Plenty of colors too. Walmart has squat here. Fifty percent off of squat is still squat.
pfff... my wal mart didnt have anything on sale, so I ended up buying $130 worth of stuff anyways! Thats almost like $6 lol
Stopped by a Walmart today and found some DT7 Flats for $4.00 a piece. I lost 2 of the 3 I owned last summer to pike and could not find replacements anywhere. I think they are discountinued, so thats why they were marked down. They had a bunch of line marked down, strike king tungsten, gammi hooks, lower end reels, waders, powerbait, stike king plastics, and a lot of panfish stuff. The guy told me they were going to be marking down the highend rods they had KVD, Falcon, Wright McGill, ..,etc, soon because they did not sell.
I stopped by again today. I went in to check if sk tungsten was on clearance. 1/8 and 3/16 were full and regular price. 1/4 and 3/8 which were full are now gone. Same thing with select sk spinnerbaits, hooks etc. Nobody knew their whereabouts either....
Stopped into one of my local Wally's today and did happen to find some Trokar 3/0 offset round bends on clearance for $3 per pack. Bought 4. No good baits on sale though, from what I seen.
Its sad the state that my local stores leave their stock. I found two KVD rods with tips broken off and one of the new Vendetta 2's with a crushed guide. Not to mention they are all falling over out of their racks and so mixed up, you can't even pull one out to look at it.
If you live near a Gander Mountain, they always have crazy sales in February to make room for new lures and baits. I just spent $600 on lures and baits the other day at the store in Orlando Florida, or near Orlando... My buddy told me about it, so I drove from Tampa.. I only prepared to spend $150 but here is what I walked away with......I got excited, can't lie.
1. DT 20 Metal- Green shad, grey shiner, sivler/blk- 2.97 ea
2. All Lucky Craft Pointers- 1/2 off of 12.99 so 6.50 ea
3. Strike King Sexy Swimmers lipless swimbaits. 5 bucks from 12
4. Rapala suspended Minnow raps and xraps in size 9,11- 3.00-6.00
Now here is where I got carried away
Spro Frogs- 5.99
Scum Frogs- The big size-1.99
Clackin raps 6-8 sizes 3.99 in top colors-Perch,ghost,clown, and a few other top colors. rippin raps were 2.25 in all colors and husky jerks were 3.00 in rare colors, meaning the better ones.
Then I grabbed a bunch of lures I would never purchase due to money....but now I see why Sebile Flatt Shads, squad Minnows, and Norman cranks are so popular. I grabbed sebile splasher topwater lures with the glitter inside for 5.00 as well as all flatt shads..They are $16.99 at Dicks....
To top this off, Sports Authority decided to shut down their Fishing department and I ended up walking into 75% all fishing items...Grabbed every spool of Nanofil, Power Pro, Sufix 832, and lots of leader and Hooks. Also grabbed all sorts of Yozuris, zoom baits, and Johnson silver minnows with Mister twister grubs as well.....Now I have to figure out how to pay my rent and bills... I may have to ask one of my firiend to give me a black eye and a few scratched and pretend I was mugged or something. My girl is going to kill me... Dropped close to 1500 on tackle, but man was it fun!!!!
