[tonypower]

[BobLoblaw]

C ya first thing in the morning, Chubbster!:)
Might as well save some bucks on that Simms rain jacket I want...

[gl2]

Everybody should ask Bill where the ice scoops are.......bawhahahaha

[Unclerj]

Is there any way to see what is on sale online or do you have to go in to the store?

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

UH OH Looks like im going to have to go spend a couple hundred in terminal tackle .

[0liver]

crap, I just dropped a couple hundred there a couple weeks ago. Should of waited!

awh, shoot. I'll probably end up dropping another couple hundy there before all is said and done. discount and all. Lost a couple spoons to the bullrush's at north buck last weekend. That and a pair of jaw spreaders.

alas, I must stock up..

This sale costs me too much every year, I would prefer that people not remind me :sign0176: :) Now it's my will power against the wish list of items that never go on sale otherwise. Bill says last time: "adding to the Islander reel collection again are you?" Previous year "This is gonna hurt". Boxing day "Is that all?"

[Kim473]

Why dose'nt everyone just open their own store? You will have everything then. LOL

[chubbdarter]

Lowrance HDS Gen 2 fish finders, are they on sale?


YES......20 off i believe

In store is best

[italk2u]

Is this a precursor to the Northside store moving to the old Nevada Bob's location on 170 St and 111 Ave.?
if so, this means there will be nothing in the way of tackle shops for those living in the core and the east side.
If they go the way of the Fishing Centre does this mean they can't afford the skyrocketing rental prices?

X2, go get some bulk power pro if it's on sale as well. Great pike and river line.

[JohninAB]

YES......20 off i believe

Better not be as I was told the mark up was too small so they wouldn't go on sale ever. If they are be some serious explaining to do in the northside store in Edmonton.

[New2Fishing]

9AM... see u guys at WEM location....

[Alberta Bigbore]

UH OH Looks like im going to have to go spend a couple hundred in terminal tackle .

couple hundred is very little in a fishing store these days. Lol. I think you mean a couple thousand ;)

[Geezle]

Ruh-roh...I'm scurred! http://www.madcastgaming.com/forum/images/smilies/smilies3/ohnoes.gif

I don't need anything, but I'll probably swing by the North store in a couple hours anyway...maybe replace a few lures I've lost recently, and see what happens from there :o

[Reelreelreel!]

Is this at the Calgary store too?

[greylynx]

couple hundred is very little in a fishing store these days. Lol. I think you mean a couple thousand ;)

Everything is relative ABBore.:)

a cup of coffee was ten cents at one time.

Anyway thats how I figure things out without feeling too guilty that I bought too much.:)

Oh, and think of the money your saving... another excuse to splurge a wee bit.:)

[tonypower]

I put power pro on my other reel and Last time I was at wab i caught a pike and when I set the hook the braid just spins on the spool. That the reason I bought the new reel


St---------rod eh. I will check them out. Thanks

[Darren N]

By 9:05 am I had over 250 spent on new waders and boots on the south side store. But I'm sure this will be beat.

A little mono backing (or a piece of tape) will stop the braid from spinning on the spool :)

Did you get your PowerPro loaded from the bulk spools, or did you buy fresh ones? They only carry up to 50lb in the bulk stuff.

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

it was the bulk stuff so i guess its 50 even though im 90 % sure he said it was 80 but thats no the point . The guy took the plastic wrap off that new line to spool my reels . I was kind of chocked .

I just picked up the same reel, 35 size, and paired it with the Rapala Trout Classic Lake n River at med/heavy action, 7'2". Slapped on some Powerpro 10lb braid. Awesome setup.

Yep that's the one I got. Really nice for the money. Crap I should have gone braid. Thanks for the tip jay... Can I re-spool the braid I have on there? It's only a couple months old. Lol

[Alberta Bigbore]

yep..braid is gold....i still run mono on some reels...as it still has its place for certain applications.

[Badback]

$120 well spent...It was just starting to get busy around 09:30
- Rapala Trout Classic - Creek & Stream Lite
- Pflueger Trion GX7 spin reel
- Hooks and line
One does have to have self control when they have a sale

[kinwahkly]

New 6wt loomis fly rod 40% off.matched it with a Maddison fly reel at 25% off.

[tonypower]

ya I really liked the braid in the river jigging for eyes. If you get snagged you can pull in the tree and fill up your tackel box. lol

[Geezle]

I did pretty well this time around...grabbed a giant Clackin' Rap, a few components for building leaders, and a 6'10" MH/XFast Shimano Compre casting rod, and came in just shy of $90 :cool:



Also ran into Rainbows and Steven Noel down there :)

[Geezle]

nice haul !

Stores packed?

The North store was actually fairly quiet when I dropped by...maybe a half dozen or so customers aside from me.

[Geezle]

Clackin rap in firetiger per chance?

Nope, silver and blue :D


Oh yeah, I also grabbed a Thermacell refill there as well :)

[.30cal]

Just sayin......

[Geezle]

Just sayin......

I respectfully disagree. :)

[BeeGuy]

Just sayin......

what's your reasoning?

[gramps73]

Yes the sale is at all of TFH locations

[New2Fishing]

picked up a fenwick eagle gt 5'6 UL and Shimano sonora Fb1000 and some spoons for $90.... very cheap... considering last time i got the same pairing in ML i paid $130.... this is gonna be a great trout combo....

[Scottmisfits]

I was in there with my dad today. He bought new leaders, a new Diawa reel, some sinking line, and an ice fishing combo and only paid $95 or something. Great deal could be found.

[JohnnyD]

Got a Lowrance Elite-5 Sonar/GPS + Navionics Chip

[BeeGuy]

I got a couple dozen flies for 61 cents each.

Whities beware!

Didn't really need anything else.

[tacklerunner]

Nope, silver and blue :D

I thought MikeO cleaned the province outta silver & blue raps.

I respectfully disagree. :)

I respectfully agree with Geezle.

By "very cheap" you mean inexpensive. Big difference. :) But we know what you mean. Great deals. Enjoy your new combo.

[chubbdarter]

x2, anyone know?

Yes... the Cowtown store is one of the largest of the Hole stores if not the largest, with the biggest inventory.

[chubbdarter]

Was great seeing many of you today....TFG,dace, TR, braun steve and many more.

Always a highlight to chat with the Master Rapala Pro staffer.....slippers 2

[WayneChristie]

when you guys going to open one down south so I can spend all my throwaway cash? :bad_boys_20: Chub is the sale stuff online? need a couple things for my sturgeon adventures. had to "stoop" to picking up a new rod at that other place in Leth this morning, broke it in with a 4 foot sturgeon this afternoon. :sHa_shakeshout:

[Steven Noel]

Back for my second stop by the north Edmonton location. Picked up about 8 dozen flies (apologies to the cashier), another fly box and some leaders as well as some five bound braid for the three new ultralight spinning reels we got yesterday.

Also met Alberta Bigbore. It was nice to do so.

Ask Blair Wiggins, sounds like you need to get some FINS.

[slingshotz]

Been there twice so far and it really didn't feel as busy as last year or the previous year's sale, might have been the time of day (lunch and dinner).

Sucked it up and got a new pair of Simms waders, I really hope they last a few years vs my last pair of Guidelines which leaked after the second year. Bunch of other fly gear but I always wonder if I got enough flies to last me until next year.

[Alberta Bigbore]

Also met Alberta Bigbore. It was nice to do so.



Nice to meet you as well. You looked deep in thought going over the fly selections. LoL.

[Alberta Bigbore]

Btw....dont know if it was mentioned...... but I heard by the Hole, that all Gloomis rods are 40% off. I thought they never go on sale, maybe they were yanking my chain. Heh

[Geezle]

Yep that's the one I got. Really nice for the money. Crap I should have gone braid. Thanks for the tip jay... Can I re-spool the braid I have on there? It's only a couple months old. Lol

Sure. If you have a spare reel with no line, then you could easily spool it over from one reel to the other, then put the mono backing on the reel you want to use, and then wind it all back from reel #2 to reel #1.

Or you could also just pull all the line off the reel that you're using, til you get down to where it's tied onto the spool, then put a piece of tape over it to stop the line from spinning, and wind it all back on again :)

[2guys]

THANKS to the staff at TFH for helping me get my first set of waders and boots today. Very happy with the great price and so is the wife. Now for a good weekend of fishing.:shark:

[New2Fishing]

Btw....dont know if it was mentioned...... but I heard by the Hole, that all Gloomis rods are 40% off. I thought they never go on sale, maybe they were yanking my chain. Heh

yup they were 40% off....

[New2Fishing]

i'm heading back there tomorrow... thinking of picking up another rod/reel which g.loomis would be good for throwing spoons?

[thundergrey]

Hope it isn't like their tradeshow at the Mayfield... Special show prices my ****. Bought a $135 rod just to find it at WS a month later for $10 less.

[gl2]

Was at the Calgary store today and there is still lots of great deals to be had. Picked up a new looms rod, ice fishing tackle bag and a ton of tackle for the ice.

[chubbdarter]

Btw....dont know if it was mentioned...... but I heard by the Hole, that all Gloomis rods are 40% off. I thought they never go on sale, maybe they were yanking my chain. Heh

JUST FOR YOU SOME SELECTED S.CROIX RODS ARE 40 PERCENT OFF

Not all GL rods are 40 percent off but a big selection of GL2 walleye and trout rods are 40 percent off. Other GL rods are 25 percent off.

Selected Fly rods like the GL EastFork are 40 percent off, which puts this high end rod at economy rod pricing.

There is a special deal on SAGE rods also.

Wall to Wall everything is at least 20 percent off with many many items up to 50 percent off

[Geezle]

*sigh* I might have to swing by the South store today and see if I can't find myself a low profile baitcaster to slap on my Compre, since SOMEbody hasn't returned my Caenan to me yet :lol:

[bloopbloob]

South edmonton store had a BUNCH of $180-$280 beautiful Gloomis and St.croix rods at 40% off. Had one in my hand to the till but decided it was more than I need. Haha don't need anything actually. But picked up a nice $70 shimano at 40% off, and about $80 worth of tackle at 25% off. Wanted a high end reel but selection was pretty thinned out

[Geezle]

Yep, I should have gotten a reel when I was there on Thursday, a lot of the good deals were long gone today, but I still ended up grabbing another Shimano Caenan for 25% off and loaded it up with 30lb PowerPro :lol:

[icefever]

Consider my self lucky only cost me $300 to go in, got a new TFO fly rod new fly line, double carrying case for 2 other fly rods, tippets and a couple of hooks

[bigfish88]
