They didn't have the Daiwa spinning reel I was looking for so I ended up getting a CI4+ with the trade in discount. They don't usually discount the Shimano reels so this year was a nice change of pace.
I was very happy about this. I picked up some more reels that I more than likely don't need ...lol
Nice to see you at BPS Rick... Jesse said he wished he could have been there at the time... He was filling up the cart with stuff... :)
Don, I hope to see you before you spend all your money.. :-*
It's always nice seeing the people you know online out in the real world. Saw mike and McCarter too. It was good to talk to you again and looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.
I did the same thing but at gander. I got the shimano ci4 2500 for 219.99 minus my $40 trade in plus a $25 gander rebate card. Almost want to get another one for that price but i already have to many. The funny part of the story is i traded in my daughters spongbob reel. I told them i was upgrading.
It was nice to see that the trade in applied to Shimano, but I still had to go with my tried and true Pro Qualifiers again. For $65 after sale price and trade in, you can't go wrong...which is why I bought four ;D
Their deal on XPS flourocarborn is pretty good too, especially the new KVD signature edition. I love the fact that they now have XPS in a level wound spool.
This is my first Shimano spinning reel in years and years. Seems awfully slick.
I picked up one of the Shimano Ci4's as well from Gander Mountain with the trade in, they had some scratch off cards last weekend that gave you an additional 10-50% off, of course mine was only for an additional 10%, but with that I got the reel for $167 out the door. This reel is crazy light, it only weighs 7 oz, which is only about 2 oz less than my other Shimano 2500 series reels, but it's amazing how much lighter it feels! I can't wait to put it to use!
Go to the gander website grinny and find the ci4 and there is another 25 dollar rebate gift card available (mail in). I wish i got the scratch off. Ill have to try again this weekend. Ill buy a few more.
Yes I downloaded the rebate yesterday to send in. Thanks!
