Bass Pro Shops 2015 Master Catalog Question 2025
ghost reply :
Did you order one and have you received it?
I haven't and I ordered mine way before Christmas
FunkJishing reply :
i recieved one and didn't even request it. I'm guessing they send it to all of their customers. i also got the 2015 spring angler catalog.

Hmmppffff! Where's mine?
lectricbassman reply :
Got mine yesterday. Took almost a month though
Sam reply :
Yep. Received it a while ago.
Give BPS a call and order another one.
ward131 reply :
I got mine, it took awhile. Would have rather had just a Bass catalog. Also received the boat catalog. Still waiting for the spring fishing
buzzed bait reply :
or save a tree and go to their website. or just look at the 2014 catalog and imagine 2 new pages in the 2015 catalog.....
Choporoz reply :
My favorite fishing catalog. Maybe the only one that after I paging through it, I'm not tempted to place an order.
It's almost like I feel I can beat the monkey
I.rar reply :
Got the master a little while ago and the spring today. Nothing really says BUY ME! in these 2015 catalogs. Sorry bps.
slonezp reply :
Mines already in the trash.
ClackerBuzz reply :
searching for a BPS catalog!? it took me almost a year and a half and 6 nasty emails to finally get them to stop sending me catalogs (to BOTH my shipping and billing addresses). they finally stopped only after they upped the ante with a blitz of fly fishing and saltwater catalogs

I must get 10 catalogs a year from them.

Don't worry about the tree. Paper companies plant more trees than they cut down. It's a renewable resource. Yes, I work for a paper company.
Long Mike reply :
All you have to do is order one thing from BPS and you will be deluged with catalogs. All of the ones I receive go promptly into the recycle bin. Why on earth anyone would use a catalog when it's so much easier to shop online is beyond me. BPS must be wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars printing catalogs that very few people read.

I pour over them. Fun way to pass time before bed or on car trips or even in the bathroom.

I've had my master catalog for a few weeks. Got my spring angler catalog in on Monday.
skeeter1980 reply :
Had mine for weeks,got the spring catalog the other day.They send the same catalogs,several times.I don't salt water fish,yet they send me catalogs,for salt water fishing.
Djf3864 reply :
Got both catalogs in the mail, however if you are in the store they usually have some sitting on a table by the exit door that you can take with you.
K_Mac reply :
I buy quite a bit of tackle from BPS, most of it online. I can't figure out how the catalogs have any value. They only give very limited information about products, with the constant admonition to go to the website. Other than a little tackle porn for those who like that sort of thing I don't know why they continue to send them out.
Lucky Craft Man reply :
I have every Master Catalog since sometime in the early 90's (might even be back into the 80's). As a kid, when that catalog came, I would pour over every page as the internet wasn't in heavy use. Now with the website, I know everything that is going to be in that catalog months before it even shows up. It has lost it's magic over the years (though, it still doesn't stop me from pilling it into the collection).
aceman387 reply :
The catalog used to excite me years back when i first got back into fishing.I remember coming home from work and running to the mailbox like Ralphie did looking for his ovaltine decoder ring. Now i bring it in the house and rarely ever open it.
Ratherbfishing reply :
Got mine. It's already between the mattress and the box springs.

same here and they were in the recycling next day. wonder how much savings they could provide back to the consumer if not mailing out who knows how many catalogs....

Although I don't work for a paper company, I was going to post the same thing.
Plus it would have to have been a very tiny tree to only produce enough paper for a single BPS catalog (with the green voices beginning the chant "if everyone just saved a little, it would make a big difference". Not per capita...)

Most marketing campaigns are a net gain, else they wouldn't be used.
Lets suppose that Company A has sales of a 10 million dollars and a net profit of 1 million dollars with no catalog sales. They begin a catalog program that costs them $200,000 to implement and it raises sales to 13 million (3 million directly attributable to the catalog sales), which increases net profit by $100,000 (10% of sales less the additional catalog program costs). In this example, the company actually has more ability to "pass savings on to the consumer" by continuing the program rather than abandoning it.
If stopping the catalog sales results in lower profits (not lower sales), then there is no savings in stopping it.

Mine came about two weeks ago

While I agree with your rationale, I feel that BPS is seriously behind the times in comparing their catalog sales to their internet sales. It's almost as if a member of the Johnny Morris family is in charge of the Catalog department and refuses to see the light.
Penguino reply :
For the guys who got the catalog, are there any good deals on fishing gear?
slonezp reply :
Anybody remember the Uncle Bucks Bassmate calendar girls?
tomustang reply :
Instead of throwing away the catalogs, donate them to doctors office waiting rooms. I would love to pick up fishing material to skim instead of runners world, good housekeeping, or golf digest
