buz23 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I stopped in to the E Hartford Cabela's with the intention of picking up a few ice fishing lures and plastics but wandered by the reel island to see what there was. I found a Shimano Spheros SW5000 marked down from 199 to $148. I asked if this was just the display model, and the salesman looked it up and said no, it applied to even the boxed models. I said OK and started to walk away with one. The saleman then pulled out a cartoon reel which he offered to sell me for $5, and then I could turn around and trade it in and get $25 off the Spheros. So I ended up getting the reel for about $130, a great deal I think. The trade in deal is graduated so if you buy a reel which costs more than $500, you can get $100 off. Don't know how long this is going to last. NOTE: The trade in program lasts to March 7. Edited February 25, 2019 by buz23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sams Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Basspro always had a deal like this around this time of year. Might have to take some junk reels and BPS points and stop by. sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buz23 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Supposedly the reel you trade in has to be in working order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if the handle spins they will take it. I brought 3 reels hoping to save more but only one trade in per new reel. They give the old reels to kids in need I think. troll #122 <*)))< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
