Headed to BPS this week. The neatest one is 2 .5 hr away so I like to stop in when I'm close by. What are a few favorite things you like to get there?

BPS Stick Os, everything else is overpriced, but I have a BPS 10 minutes from the house so I can afford to be picky.
K_Mac reply :
I will add my vote for Stick-os. The River Bugs are a good value as well IMO. The Pro Qualifier reels are still my go-to reels. Like everywhere else, you just have to pay attention. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement and buy stuff that you really don't need...
HeavyFisher reply :
Nothing, but I love looking at the big fish tank!
Gary0155 reply :
I agree that you are going to pay more there than other tackle shops. It is fun to go in there and browse around. I always spend way to much. I just spent $130 there yesterday and all I went in there to but was a $50 tackle bag.
Mr Swim Jig reply :
Some fudge and jerky...

bad advice

I can't complain about BPS. I've gotten 2 St.Croix LTB rods there for around $120. You just gotta be observant and willing to talk to a mgr. I get the mainstay of my bass lures there since local shops refuse to stock or order anything but saltwater tackle. That quickly racks up the points so I usually get at least $25 off any rod or reel purchased there. My gotta buy, every time I go there would have to be Zoom Super Flukes and long sleeve cotton t shirts.

Like he says but not because of saltwater for me in this area. For some reason the local shops will not have my Zoom Super Fluke's, a lot of the better places carry fly fishing stuff. Especially in pearl white, my favorite. I also like my stik-o's but I don't go out of my way to get'em. I am also loving the BPS Squirming Worms, they flat out catch fish for me.

Boston Baked Beans and Burnt Peanuts. Also a few Chompers products.

DropTheBass reply :
Honestly, I go there to see what the hot items are and later order them online for a lesser price. Majority of the items there are overpriced. I'll buy couple Sabikis or sale items from time to time.
TNBassin' reply :
If you're going to BPS and have an idea of what you want, go on Academy's site and see if they have the same thing cheaper. BPS will price match them or other local competitors. Academy had 6XDs for $3.99 and Red Eye Shad for $4.99, so I went in the other day and bought a bunch at that price at BPS. I even got them to price match some Seaguar Red Label line at $9.99 a spool. THEN I had a $10 off coupon so I saved $24 total off my purchase. They hate me there lol.
The Fisher reply :
Carbonlite rods and pro qualifiers when they are on sale. Good place to try out rods, reels, and colors on different lures/plastics. Everything is pretty much overpriced compared to when on line sites have sales.....no sales tax and I usually buy enough for free shipping.
ww2farmer reply :
Most of the stuff I use..........Havoc soft baits, and SK hard baits, are pretty much the same price at BPS as anywhere else so I always grab some when I am there.
Mike L reply :
Mostly KVD line and lure, frogs, flukes and any specialty type tools when needed.

Pretty much spend most my time looking at the boats, the fish, and the dead animals. I havent bought anything from the store yet but I always get gift cards via gifts that I use online as soon as they do the free shipping deal. There are some items they carry that TW does not. I usually spend time looking for those items.
When I go to Cabelas they almost always have Lucky Craft baits on sale for like 12 dollars. Will usually grab a couple of those.
jigabooyah reply :
I take a list and try to stick to it. There are way too many choices and distractions.
Impulse buying at its finest. Fishermen grab the baits about like a bass.
Scorchx1245 reply :
I always grab some stick-os, and I grab there rod socks. I also noticed there frogs are decent too.
RoLo reply :
I'm not a window shopper, but usually know exactly what I want, so in my case,
online shopping is the only way to go. The only time I might drop into the Orlando BPS
is when I happen to be in the neighborhood and have time to kill. But even at that,
it's usually an exercise in futility, because the stock in their outlet stores is picked-over and incomplete.
Have you noticed? The inventory at BPS has deteriorated badly over the years!
They don't inventory many of my favorite lures such as the Megastrike Cavitron Buzzbait,
Gambler Big EZ, All-Terrain Grassmaster Jig, Jackall lipless plug (TN/70), VMC tungsten sinkers and more.
For me at least, BPS is no longer an online store with 'one-stop shopping', so the amount of my order
never qualifies for free-shipping. This hurts BPS more than it hurts me.

Mr. BattleArmor reply :
According to my bank account, my favorite thing to get at Bass Pro Shop is: more than I should spend.
TNBassin' reply :
A lot of BPS hate on here. Never mind that their customer service and selection is second to none. Yeah they charge a little more, but they PRICE MATCH DSG and Academy so if you're smart, there's no reason NOT to shop there.
Jrob78 reply :
KVD L&L is probably the #1 thing I buy at BPS.
Bluegiller reply :
The closest one to me (Harrisburg, PA) is a 3 hour drive, so I like to go and make a day of it. Walk around the store, buy what catches my eye, write a list of things to possible purchase online at a future date. I just really like being able to eyeball all the stuff right in front of me instead of scrolling down a page online.
Oh yeah, and touch all the boats.
jignfule reply :
sorry, too expensive
