Lots of folks are looking for rods, reels, combos, tackle, etc. I just got my Spring catalog which has some interesting deals in it. I have purchased clothing, tree stands, popup blinds, etc through them and have rarely been disappointed. Worth a look at their Abu combos, anyway. They have some higher-end Abu Revo and Shimano Stradic and Vanford reels as well at what may be good prices. $20 off any order over $99, too. You don’t have to become a member, but if you choose to, you will get 10% off and free shipping. Check them out!

I was just trying to pass along some info on deals for those who are looking for one. I know nothing about high end equipment pricing as those are way out of my league and budget. No offense to Bass Pro/Cabela’s, Academy Sports, Dick’s, Walmart, Scheel’s or countless others we have mentioned. Some FS members can’t get to stores and are forced to shop from catalogs or online, only.

I agree Lee. Its all in the name I guess. I always end up going somewhere else anyway.

THey are right down the road from me in South Saint Paul MN. Bought out by Northern Tools a few years back. If you go there it's kind of like the old army surplus stores I used to frequent back in the 80's. Nothing fancy, overstock, new, returns, guns, bows, fishing, clothes. One of my programmer's husband does the catalogs - they have way more stuff in them than the store. Last March I was taking my college son up to Cabelas to get out of the house for awhile. Sportmans Guide was on the way so we stopped. Half a pallet of 9mm cases of a thousand. Figured the price and it came up to .18 a round and I said, "nah, I usually get it for .13-15 round, it'll come down in price" and we left?! Usually around $139-149 for case of a 1,000. Brother in law called me the next day. Those case prices were over $250 and sold out!

I figured they were some sort of liquidator for overstocked merchandise. They typically have some great prices as compared to other stores. I can order something on a Wednesday afternoon and it will be delivered via UPS on Friday.
Ammo deals are few and far between nowadays. I have purchased through Natchez on occasion. Another one to consider.

Kicking myself- even if you can find rounds these days the prices are exorbitant. Should have bought a couple cases.

THey actually have a jacket that came through on my emails about 2 months ago. Gore tex rainproof called BPost from Belgium for $50. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/belgian-postal-surplus-mail-carriers-gore-tex-jacket-new?a=2184803

If it was good enough for the Belgian Postal Workers...😂
I have picked up some Browning Hell’s Canyon camo at less than half price than I have seen at the big stores. Great for Turkey hunting and chasing speed goats!

Been looking for the last 14 months for a good waterproof jacket. Really wanted the Simms Challenger but it's NOT Gore-Tex, Sister has the Guidewear Gore-Tex but they wanted $279.00 for it at Cabelas. It finally went on sale and I got it for $200 - same as the Simms plus I have seen it in action AND I had Xmas giftcards so the "remorse" was short lived as it was really a "freebie" for me :)
We'll see how it works. My Simms bibs are good so far after 3 years.
THe BPost jacket I thought would make a good spare for the boat and the missus.

I have the Guidegear "Muckstyle" boots - on sale for $34.95 and 800 grams insulation. I wear from April to June and September to October - they are phenomenal. No need to pay $200 for a brand name. I put these thru hell and they have held up beautifully. Will but a couple more pair when they come in.

Those work great for Turkey and bow hunting as well as chores. The price is right, for sure.
