Title: New Bass Pro Flyer
Post by: Dan on February 24, 2007, 05:14:17 PM
Just got my Fishing Classic sale flyer and have some questions. I want to get some inflatable suspenders this year. What is your recommendation as to which one to get. Would like to stay in that second price tier 130 or so.  Also anyone know much about the Johnny Morris Special Purchase baitcast reel that they are selling at $79. I need one more baitcaster to go with the two curado bantams that I have. Also what is with the deal with the one day sales? Are there really a lot of different items each day?

It looks like there is just one item for a really low price on each day. I'm also looking for Sospenders or those Mustang ones have really good prices too. I think everything else in there is on sale the whole time of the 3rd-11th. I hope anyway.

guys - a couple of notes on the SOS suspenders -  first, depending on the model you want, check first on the availability of recharge kits.  Second, be aware that it runs about $25-$30 to recahrge them, especially the automotic ones.  they are awesome units and work well, but do require some maitenance - after each use you either must unscreww the co2 cartridge, or bring the entire unit in the house (low humidity area) with you.  Rain won't set them off, but it certainly erodes the little power tablet over time.  think about stowing it in a damp boat compartment, and pow - off it goes - another $25. 

On the plus side, they are comfortable to wear all the time.

I have been looking the suspender style PFD as well.  I found that the Cabela's Guardian inflatables are the best price around.  I don't know who makes them or how good they are but normally Cabela's brand stuff is pretty darn good.  I have never been disappointed in any Cabela's brand stuff I have bought.

You should be able to check them out here:

While we are on this subject anyone know the laws regarding inflatables? I have heard that it must be worn to be included in your total number of pfds also I assume you have to have an auto to be legal.

Thanks Dan, that clears it up. I also learned that I need to have a throwable pfd on my boat, kinda seems silly since there is nobody on the boat to throw it to me.
