The Good Deals thread

From time to time, members find good deals on new or used items. It is often difficult to find the the thread or sometimes in is buried in a semi-related or unrelated thread. Post up your great finds here:

The bargain cave at Cabela's in Allen had a Otterbox Defender for the IPhone 5 - $25. As of 8/02.

Dick's sporting goods in Allen has numerous brands of line - buy one, get one free including mono, fluoro and braid. Not all brands are on sale.

Nice! They just put in a Dick's around the corner from me, and I need some braid!

Its not a Go Pro but it might work.

Stopped by Academy at Forest Lane & 75 - had their Sufix line 17lb - 30 lb for $2.98

Also at Academy, today picked up two pairs of Buff Gloves. One is the water glove and the other is the Angler II. Originally 26.99 and 39.99, both on clearance for 14.98 each.

I got a pair yesterday at Academy in Lewisville for that price too. Sorry guys it was the last pair they had.

Just got last pair of Angler Gloves in McKinney - They have lots of Sufix silver 10 lb- 30 lb for $2.98 -- I had to tell them it was on sale as they had not marked it yet. They told me every Academy has the same sale prices

Abu Garcia vengeance 7' medium action spinning rod with a 6 bearing cardinal 345i reel at Dicks for 31.00 bucks.

benbrook walmart has some marine batteries for over 50% off, around 80 bucks, there were 4-5 yesterday, champion brand i believe.

From the hidden gem of DIY/fishing retailers (Tractor Supply..). I find these very handy. I have one on my battery charger as well.

TSC also has a good variety of wide brimmed butt-ugly straw hats for $8-15...

Some decent deals on FF's here

Good price on no roll sinkers

Oh and btw, whoever told yall that all the academy stores have the same sales prices and the like is wrong, the academy I went to is still asking full price for buff gloves.

Yeah not all Academy's have the same sales or even same stuff for that matter so that is definitely false info.

Cabelas has a deal going on the big Bandit squarebill cranks Reg. $6 on sale for $2.50

Someone mentioned Wal-Mart had a $1.50 lure special going on so i tried it out today.... turned out they rang up at $1.00 instead of $1.50

These are what i grabbed

Sandies love that lazy ike.

I bought the Fuji XP 60 several months ago at Best Buy. Paid a little over $200. Loved the camera but took it back a couple of weeks later when I thought I'd scratched the lens figuring I'd check on what I needed to do to get it fixed. It wasn't a scratch after all, just a fiber that must have stuck to the interior lens. Store was out of stock so they ordered me another one. Got it five days later and they gave me a $40 dollar credit as the price had been dropped. For those that like taking photos this camera is great. Does a lot of stuff I've never used before. Haven't made any videos with it but supposedly those that have say its great. For around $160 bucks its a bargain. Noticed the local Walmart had them at the same price as well.

My haul from the bait bonanza bins at walmart.



And crates in cool colors for sale.

Dicks Clearance fishing is 50% off right now I picked up a shimano baitcast and spinning combo for $35 each and got a veritas for $50

http://www.waypointmarkers.com/TFF.htm

Who needs Buoy markers?

The Dick's in Harker Heights didn't have their new signs up (as usual) but the clearance soft plastics I bought rang up 50% off. I asked a guy and he knew nothing about anything and went to look at the same price tag I did. SMH. So take that for what it is worth. Possible 50% off clearance soft plastics. Maybe more.

Was this at the Flower Mound store and what all was on sale?

Academy has the blue max fresh/salt spinning combo on sale for 29.99 as well as the ike dude for 14.99 if anyone looking for a small combo for kids or small fishing

It was the dicks in flower mound but it should be all of them in the metro mess, they will all have a different selection. It is all clearance fishing 50% off.

Thanks Phil heading there after work

Harbor freight has a deal on truck bed extenders 49 dollars plus there is a coupon for 25% off making it somewhere in the range of 37 dollars!

Scored a,Veritas rod for $45 and a Yum flash mob A rig for $5 at the Dicks clearance. Hope to have good luck at Academy next week.

Drift socks:

Cabela's Drift Socks

What size flash mob for $5?

Yak, it was the full size and not the jr. Sorry, it was the last one in FM. The FM Dicks had many of the non-flash versions left.

Thanks for the heads up. Ordered mine last night.

OP asked for used finds too...

A couple of weeks ago, I was poking about on Ebay looking at BTB reels and found a listing for a Penn Jigmaster 500 and a Penn 309 together. Bought them both for $15 and change plus $10 shipping. Figured they would be trashed when they arrived, but they were in pretty good shape. No corrosion, just very dirty. Cleaned them up and they're working great, now.

http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores...;N=101+46883185

A-rigs for $5

Academy also has some decent looking crankbaits and squarebills in their clearance sectioon online for $2

Thanks PayneFish for posting the Buff glove deal at Academy. I had to drive to Austin today and stopped at the Academy in Waco on the way and found 3 pair. I should be set for a while now.

Ok, someone needs to buy this before I do.....or if 3 people want to go in with me, we can use this to enter the Fall GTG kayak race.

PICKED P COMBO 50% OFF WITH A $20 MAIL IN REBATE $15 FOR ROD & REEL

Thanks a lot the girlfriend will love this for her birthday.

Sports Authority on Preston in Frisco had their pfds on clearance. No fishing ones but they had a vest with mesh upper and padding on the bottom portion like an angler vest for under $5. Would make a good back up vest for cheap..

I have wrestled with the music in the yak thing myself, as I kind of enjoy the lack of noise out on the water, but there are times where fishing is slow and it might make things easier to deal with.

I recently purhcased these for mountainbiking/cycling, but can easily be used in a kayak. They are bluetooth headphones that use the bone conduction technology developed by the military. Music/sound travels thorugh the bone so it leaves your ears open to hear ambient noises, i.e. other cyclists, boats, etc. And I know this will ruffle the feathers of the hard core yakers, but you can also answer your phone if you felt the need to do so!

Aftershokz

They may not technically fall into the good deals thread as they aren't cheap, but good deal if you value your music!

Hey now! Been looking for a good deal on a kids kayak...







Smoking deal, unless you actually want it at your house!






It says web only, but I think I'll check the store anyway...

Henry, might see if they do shipping to the store. Also, check out shipping services like "shoprunner" and see if that might work for you.

Square bill bandits for $2.50 and free shipping.

Square bills

Free shipping if you buy 150 bucks worth. Thats a LOT of lures jack!

Opps, I had read that wrong and just realized that when I tried to order 10 of them. The shipping is $5 flat rate if you have a Cabela's card - $8.95 otherwise. Sorry - my mistake.

Henry, if you find any instock please call me. I would love to pick one up for my daughter

Will do.

Checked Plano, no luck there...

I picked these up at academy today, but they are too big(xl/xxl) anyone pic any of the gloves up that were too small and want to trade?

Man i just picked up a pair yesterday that were a bit small but i already fished them up today. Guess i should have waited a day... If they do fine in the washer i can clean them up for a swap

Overstockbait.com

really good deals on Yamamoto and LFT plastics right now. If only I hadn't promised myself "no more buying lures/baits"

Ha! I could never keep that promise.

Just left the Academy on Forest lane in Dallas. I picked up the last medium/large pair of angler pro 2 gloves by buff. There were 4 pairs left. Go get you some ;-)


They are still...

DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In completely unrelated news, there will be a Yak Fin Addict Buff Glove Outlet Booth set up at the get together later this month.

Haha! I only picked up 1 pair but I'm headed back to pick one up for a buddy ;-)

Just posted about this in another thread, but the Bear Gryllis Survial Knife with para cord handle was on sale for $14.99 at Gander Mountian in Sherman. Normally $49 according to the sign it was hanging from.

Original thread about BG knife

Dicks has all their clearance items at 75% off the clearance price.....including line (mono, fluoro, and some heavy cat braid).

Thanks, ill head there after work ;-)

Mine didn't have it. Still 50%. Checked several items. The checkout girl was getting tired of me. I'll give it another week. Most of the stuff had already been cleaned out.

Nothing good at the store off 75. Waste of time.

Picked up a couple of All Star rods at Academy on Saturday.

HankS, I seen those rods Friday night at the Academy in McKinney. They even had some yellow Skeet Reese rods for $19.99, Abu Garcia Veritas for $50 or $60 and some other rods. I only find them deals when I am broke.

I think someone in McKinney found them too because I noticed somebody on Craigslist are sellng the AllStar rods for $90.

Apparently Academy is rolling out some new pricing software and this doesn't apply to all stores. You boys enjoy because the Central Texas stores don't have the same prices and won't honor the prices even with a price tag from another store.

I still can't locate any Buff gloves. I have been to the Lewisville and Grapevine locations (Academy)maybe five or six times. They never have any in stock. Have any of you guys seen them anywhere else?

I didn't see them in McKinney either. Were the in the fishing secrion?

They are in the clothes section if any are left. If you see Buffs, they used to be with them. I doubt you'll find many left now. I found them in central Texas on a trip.

Colred Jockey briefs are on sale at Wally World

Buff gloves. After checking all of the Academies in and around Arlington, DFW airport and Lewisville and coming up empty on the infamously marked down Buff gloves I finally found the last large pair for 14.98 and the last small pair for my GF for 19.98, while on a trip to Tulsa OK last weekend.

there are several pairs of the regular buff gloves in Killeen. The Angler gloves are a little harder to find.

Academy in Frisco has Shimano Sellus "Worm and Jig" spinning rods for sale $15.98 (normally around $50). 2 left on the rack as of an hour ago. Good price for decent "spare/extra" rods.

Burleson and Fort Worth locations also do not have these discounted rods so don't waste your time there either.

thanks for the heads up I got the last one of these at the Lewisville Academy.

I checked a couple of Austin stores, since I'm here for work. No love on the all star rod deals unless you want a poppin rod. I did notice that they had he h2o express mettles on sale for $29 that I also saw mentioned here somewhere. It's weird because the academy in Longview didn't seem to have any, and last I saw they had an overstock of about 200 reels from a less than successful Father's Day sale.

Mettles are hit-and-miss, the stores basically get in shipments of 10 or 20 at a time, and when they are having their $25 sale on them, they typically sell out in 1-2 days.
Last time I wanted some, I found out the shipment was coming in that night, and to call in the morning to make sure they were there, they got a shipment of 10, I called and reserved 4 on hold at the store opening, when I picked them up at lunch, I think 2 others were left besides my 4.

Academy in Mesquite had Magellan long sleeve fishing shirts that were made from a pretty comfortable and breathable material. Reg $40, on sale for $15. Several different types of shorts. Only had size large in those shirts.

Awesome I could use a few more of those shirts! Thanks

These already been posted, right? Rack was packed. Just these 2 colors $4.95

Yep, looks like you found another stash.

Where are those?! Ive been looking for some!

Looks like he is in San Angelo. If you find any of the striped ones I'll take some med/lg ;-) thanks buddy!

I think shut-up-and-fish from the board was saying they're having a sale on Lowrance's also.

I found a bunch of crank baits and hula poppers for $1 each at the Wal-Mart on Beach and 121 in Ft Worth. I didn't buy them all and they had some line and a couple of reels on clearance too.

Academy had some buffs on sale. A few were marked $4.98 but scanned at $2.49, and the others were marked $2.98 but scanned at 1.49. There wasn't a large selection of patterns, but they're cheap enough that it didn't matter to me.

Where are you located?

I can never find those on sale..

Do you know if those shoes run big or small? I normally wear a size 13 in most shoes but every once in a blue moon I find some 12's will fit. All they have is 12.5 and one of each left lol

should be right on.

Just a heads up.

The Bass Pro Shops Ascend FS12 Sit On Top Kayaks will be on sale from November 27th to December 1st.

They will be $100 off, which is a pretty awesome deal (regularly $499 on sale for $399). This is actually the first time they have ever gone on sale.

Not a bad beginner platform for the price.

Here is an example of one outfitted:

the home depot has some great deals on headlamps right now $4.99 for 1 and a flashlight COMBO!

they also have 2 & 4 packs with flashlights and Batteries for $10!!!

think they are LEDs too :~)

Discount Code : Christmas15

On sale again - 26" and 44" depending on what you want to do. I used my 48" for the first time this week and it worked well with the PA - I would expect the 44" to work well for those with larger yaks who want major slow down. The nylon seems to be a better sock than the PVC - I expect it to last longer, shakes off well - lighter and packs well.


Cabela's Drift Sock

Thanks Roger. Guess I'll be stopping in Allen on the way home (and buying myself an early b-day present).

+1

I have a 44 and am really pleased with it. The dump line makes for an easy recovery too. Great product and an awesome price!

Would the small drift sock be enough to slow me down in my little 10ft Ascend FS10 sit in? I should I just go with the XL?

Nevermind! found a promo code for free shipping from Cabelas. 3WINTER if anyone is planning on ordering anything. Saved me $6!

I'd expect so, Bull.

The hobie has a high profile and we're generally trying to drift slow in open water so we like a little more drag.

The big one rolls up into a pretty small bundle tho.

They were the same price in the store last time the price dropped...

I think ill go witht he bigger one anyways. I find myself in alot of 15mph+ situations so the big one would probably be better all around. plus it says the small one doesnt come with the drain strap or whatever.

Also after reading reviews people had commented the ratings were overrated and to go bigger anyways.

Thanks for the info, i've been looking around online at upsizing my drift sock. Great deal, got 44" coming now.

Not expensive to begin with but I am building a "tackle/rod" cabinet and needed something to hold the rod ends - this will be a lot easier than what I was planning on fabricating. Maybe someone stocks these but never seen them before.

Rod clips

Edit - price is for a set of 16 std or 8 oversize.

nice

8ah 12v battery - $15

Note that there is just a battery and then a battery/charger option. I don't recommend these little charges as anything more than a last resort to save space if you want to pack one along.

Something I found out at Cabelas yesterday. They often carry the items in the store and online at different prices - the online always being the cheaper when different. They will match the in-store price with the online price. For example, I picked up another battery yesterday - it rang up $19.99 but I showed the cashier where it was $14.99 on the website. No problem to change the price and several managers said they will always do this.

Here's a couple of pretty good deals on graphs.... From the cabelas flyer I received in the mail.

Roger talked me into the 44" driftsock - hope to try it out soon. Kayak project (trolling motor) almost) done - need to tweek a few more things.

This may have been said before, but Academy in McK has the H'Bird 998 on close-out at $999.99. I believe they had started them at $1499, went to $1199 sale and now at closeout.

I bought one of these rods at this price a couple of months ago and have used it a dozen or more times - pretty decent rod for the $.

The gander mountain in lewisville has a gander mountain vortex rod($50) and a quantum accurist pt 20($100) for $50 when you total when you purchase them together. And they threw in a free hat.

Make sure you put a float on it. Waterproof and floating are two different things!!!
(don't ask how I know)

The Walmart in Saginaw has all of their Clearance fishing stuff now marked 50% of lowest marked price. I am nost sure if all Walmarts are doing this or not, but its worth looking. Bought several spools of mono, floro, and braid for $2-5 a spool.

It's tethered around my neck!!!! Just lost a vhf radio that was supposed to float...

Just picked up an Emotion kayak seat with zippered pocket in back for $27.66 marked down from $109 at Cabellas.

Is this a good finder? $99 is a good price. Is this an upgrade to my current one (Humminbird Piranhamax 195c)?

http://www.amazon.com/Humminbird-4087001-PiranhaMAX-Color-Fishfinder/dp/B00927EUSK

That is a good price. Hard to say if it would be an upgrade for you. If I am not mistaken it is DSI only where yours is color 2d. Both have their advantages.

It's a good deal. I sure like being able to see the 2-d view and DSI together though.

Walmart: Russell Athletic Dri Power short sleeve shirts $5.44 sizes S-L. Extended sizes $7.44

This guy has 2 Curados left for $65 ea. Not a bad deal for a solid all around casting reel that has stood the test of time.

Wow, good find Artie. Great deal on those Curado's. Even though those are the slightly older model with only 5 bearings (newer Curado has 6) but still is probably a $200+ reel. I may try to get one from him. And he also has that brand new St. Croix Fly Rod for $90 - man that's a $250 rod right there! Well, my good deal aint quite this good but did see that the Academy in Frisco has all their Zoom lizards on sale for $1.99 a bag and they even have that Tomato colored one which I just bought a bag of from Bass Pro last week for $4 something. Dang it!

Good deal on those Curado's for sure just wish he lived a little closer to Fort Worth. ACademy has Seaguar red label Fluorocarbon on sale for $8.99 heck of a deal right there! I also found one random Columbia fishing shirt on Clearance for $19.88 down from $48!

Dick's Sporting goods is having a really good clearance sell right now 25-50% additional off of all clearance tackle. Buy 1 get 1 free UA fishing shirts, etc. I picked me up a really nice Diawa Exceler combo, 7.3:1 ratio reel and 7'MH rod for $72 down for $119. They also had some Shiman Crucial rods that would have come out to around $80+tax down from $150. Go check em out!

These aren't expensive to begin with but are on "hot sale". Both 3" and 4" size - I usually keep a few packets in glow/pearl/chart/silver shad colors - good time to stock up if you use them.

Seen my local Academy had the Humminbird 398ci SI on clearance for $319. If it only had a bigger screen...

Gander Mtn, this weekend... some other pretty good discounts on reels and baits in the email, but thought I'd share the side-scan deal. Great price (but still not cheap!)

Academy off Bryant Irving has castaway rods for about 40% off they are better than a lot of rods out there too

NINJA TIME - Getcha Some!!!

Academy had some Marine Raider? paddles on sale for $2.99 today. Pretty flimsy but I bet it'd beat paddling by hand or with your drawers stretched over a forked stick.

There are some used rental Wilderness Systems Tarpon and Pungo kayaks on Austin Craigslist going for $175 -$200. It is near Zilker Park.

Sam's Club (Grapevine location, possibly other stores) has Revo Bearing polarized sunglasses on clearance for $25.00. These are running for almost $190 on Amazon. They are located in the optical department.

Revo Bearing Sunglasses

Also, BPS/Grapevine had an OK Malibu Two tandem yak on clearance for $329. I know that one is now gone, but thinking there may be some available at other BPS locations.

Seen some 20L dry bags at Walmart for $5.xx

I'm going by Sam's in McK on the way home. Thanks for the tip LPF, and I'll let the rest of y'all know what I find... That's too good for tightwad like me to pass up!

Bass Pro shops Pro-Qualifier Baitcasting reel is $50 during the spring fishing event. Unbelievable reel at that price. Also have last years carbonlite rods at 40% off. I picked up 2 of each tonight.

Edit: All BPS should have the pro-qualifier special. The Carbonlite rods are not advertised. All stores may not be discounting the rods. Got mine in grapevine.

Walmart in murphy (on 544) has the lowrance elite 4x hdi (but with the reg transducer) on clearance for $69!

It just comes with the broadband, but still, that unit was 169 a few weeks ago.

I just stopped by my local Radio Shack in Sulphur Springs. They are going out of business and everything is 50-70% off. They had Sealed Lead Acid batteries on clearance. I bought 3 12v 12ah batteries for $9 a piece. I also picked up a 7ah for $10. I bought a couple of toggle switches for 70% off as well. Might be worth looking into your local Radio Shack to see what they may have.

If you are looking for a new kayak under $300, check
out Atwoods Farm & Ranch stores. They have sit ins &
sit on tops for about $269. They look to be better
equipped than Walmart's & Academy's for that price.
I checked their web site couldn't find a picture of
them. So check one of their stores.

Just passing this along. I was in there today and they still have some good deals going on.

Some of the Wmarts are clearing out their Daiwa Jupiter, KVD Quantum, Abu Garcia Vendetta and Vigilante rods from $25 to $50. Picked up a 6'6" Daiwa Jupiter MH spinning rod for $25 after getting groceries. All the rods I saw were spinning, didn't see any baitcasters.

someone told me they picked up a GoPro from Radio Shack's going
out of business sale cheaper than ever.

Academy has a Lew's Tournament Laser Speed Spool 6'10'' MH rod combo on sale, normally $150, but this week it's $99.

Just came back from BassPro. There's a sale one Carbonlite rods, as well as several other models. normally in the $100 range, marked down 20%.

Academy in on Preston in Frisco/Plano has a clearance on B&M long crappie rods. Sticker says $29.99, but rang up $19.99 for a 10ft

Academy has helix 5" side imagers on for $499. That is a great value.

Academy has helix 5" side imagers on for $499. That is a great value.

Its not the best but for depth and a bottom structure its cheap.

Walmart in Sachse.

Curado for 149.99 and
Chronarch 200e7 for 159.99

At academy through Saturday

Found these at Wmart (same price as below which is 1/3 the price of the similarly sized PLano or Flambeau brands)
The size is a little larger than the Flambeau WP5001 or Plano FTO Elite 3700
I actually like these better (the trays are wider and deeper--can fit very large topwaters/swimbaits or more lures in the box easily)

The latch mechanism isn't quite as robust as the Plano or Flambeau designs, but is sturdy enough

Good Deal on Smith Sunglasses style Dockside in Chromapop+ Bronze Mirror. MSRP $209, got for $89 from leftlanesports.com Never used them before, but order showed up in a few days and is the real deal. These are big lens, which is what I wanted a full frame that would block as much glare and stray light as possible for on the water.

Those Smiths kinda make u look like the webbed wonder! Thanks for sharin

Jump on these vest dudes!

I have the tackle monkey locked and chained; but if I didn't, I'd be all over this.
overstockbait.com wholesale prices sale

Hi seas copoly and hi seas mono also on sale

The Walmart spring clearances have started

Be on the look out men. Gander Mountain may be filing for bankruptcy :-•

$99 Costa's

Normally see the gray and silver mirror Costa's for a good price around this time, but never see the green mirror. I know they are 580p and not glass, but I'm off glass now. Not that big of a difference in clarity for my eye safety.

You never know what you'll find at some Wmarts.
They must have had this in the back for a while (they had it next to a Shimano Baitrunner 4500b at the same price)

The Daiso Japan dollar store on Old Denton (Carrollton) is selling sun/UV protection buffs for a dollar.
They aren't the best quality, and limited colors/patterns, but they are just a dollar each.

Walmart has multiple items on what looks to be their annual final clearance of the Clearance

Biffle Bugs $1
PowerBait worms 75 cents
KVD hooks $1-$1.50
KVD swivels and snaps 50 cents

Assorted other plastics and terminal tackle 50 cents to $2

Looks like the end of spring clearance is going on at Academy
Swamp crawlers in some colors 48cents a bag
RI pocket rockets $2.98 per bag
Fish head spins $2.50
10XDs $11
Lots of other things

Austin Canoe and Kayak is having their Memorial Day Sale through May 28th. Two shows this spring so far, one show had boats at 6% off list and another event had boats at 7% off. While they don't have all boats on sale, I did notice some Wilderness boats at 15% off. One example was the relatively new Attack 120.

Check out their website. ACK Memorial day sale

Note: not associated with the company in any way except that I am a repeat customer.

The annual end of the Clearance has started at multiple Walmarts
Dingers, rattle traps, red eye shads, shaky heads, fish head spins, lots of other things ringing up 75cents to $1.50

Just saw these two kayaks in front of the Academy in Mckinney off 380. Not a bad yak for a beginner with a low budget.

This would be perfect for hivis Texas Winter season kayak fishing. Warm and waterproof.

Looks like the Wmarts are about to finally get a shipment in
They have a semi decent clearance on 70% of their fishing lures and terminal tackle
The best deals were on the crappie soft plastics (didn’t take a photo of those)
