Title: Meijer's has tackle on clearance
Post by: motocross269 on February 04, 2008, 10:21:04 PM
Went to Meijers today and they were clearing out of quite a bit of tackle..Rapala DTs, Storm lures, lucky strike , rat-l trap, etc.
Pretty much everything was close to half off...Just thought you may want to know.

time to make the rounds... nice thing about living in or near GR is you're never more than 3 miles away from a meijer ;D

walmart had some clearance stuff... few reels, nothing fancy, but they had an lp ambassador 2005 something 5bb baitcaster for 35 marked down from 65... it was tempting but i passed it up.
i didn't pass up the 8 packs of watermelon red flake zero's for 1.50 a pack.

I know where i'll be making a pitstop on my way to work tomorrow  :)

no sign yet in the meijers north of GR... last year i think they started around march, i could check my credit card statements and find out i'm sure. I probably went to the same one 3 times and spent 50$+ each time. They had rat-l-traps for $1 c'mon!!! lol.

Waterfoul,

I live in GR and I was thinking were you could live that would give you access to all those stores that close.  The best I can figure you must live on the NW side of GR or near Walker or Standale.  Am I right?

I will have to check the meijers here too, all I want from there is the power pro. Last year it was $5 a spool when they had the spring sale.

I am going to head out and check the 4 Meijers in my area.  I got 4 Meijers within a 20 square mile area.  Maybe even 5 if I include Canton.  I should be able to hit 'em all in a couple of hours.  Every store varies in stock available on the shelves I've noticed over the years.

Good looking out moto, if they happen to have it on clearance 30,50,and 65lb green (2 spools of each) is what I am looking for. If you do happen to find some I could send you the $$ plus shipping and tax through paypal if you have an account.

Thanks Tim

I picked up several spools of PP at Meijers last year for $5 a spool.  I was told at the time that it was no longer going to be carried.  Not sure if that was corp. wide or just at the store I was in.

Gonna stop by at least one tomorrow on my travels.

TCOOK your inbox is full...I tried to PM you..I stopped at Meijers on Hall rd and they didn't have any Power Pro..As a matter of fact alot of their tackle had already been picked through pretty hard.  I wanted to get some more Rapala DTs , but all of the good sizes and colors were gone.

Down here at the Wal-Mart they sold all their Vanish Transition for $7.00 a spool. They were making room for the new Berkley 100% florocarbon line.
