Rizz1877 Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 If it is I'd grab it at that price. I have the 4500 and the 5500. I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kphresh Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I can't seem to find that deal, looks like the circulated flyer has some sort of baitcast rod/reel combo on it and not the Slammer III. I may stop in to the store though just to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richizzzle Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Probably my favorite reel for my 7-8 foot rods. Use the 4500 and i love it. Caught yesterday on my 4500. She was safely released after she bent the hook on the bucktail I just tied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bent a hook on a kalin jig head yesterday on a 29 inch bass but pulling it through 5 knot current I bought a saragosa 6k to put on my avid inshore and it doesn’t cast right spins the lure. Went back to local tackle shop and looks like I have the old smaller guides…… I am seeing I can sell the gosa and get back to what I paid for it…..

Abe Froman Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 prob legit they're most likely trying to get rid of the slammer 3's since the slammer iv is out now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reelfire Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 They just sold out on all of them. I just missed a 10500 for 169. If you aren't fishing on the edge, you are probably blocking the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hunter Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 All out for mail order, but local BPS or Cabela's stores may still have some in stock at the same discounted price - the Cabela's that's closest to me was still listing the sizes I checked (3500 to 6500) as "limited stock" for local pick-up a few minutes ago.

jason colby Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 I was at BPS (Foxboro) at 5am on Friday morning. I was the 1st one to the reel counter and asked for the Slammer 4500's (limit 5/person). They told me they only had two? I said that the limit in the ad says 5 but the guy said that is all he has and the 5500 is $179 and he has only 28 of those. SO, for a sale like that (discontinued or not) to advertise so publicly something that you neither have nor can get is, in my opinion very unethical. Perhaps a ploy to get people to shop for other stuff once in the store? In any case, they lost face with me. FisherMan120 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopdeck Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 The moral of the story is when slammer III’s go on sale for a $100.00 less be prepared to act and buy via internet. Just because a store only has 2 on hand does not mean they are being deceptive because there is a 5 per person limit. I’m sure that was for internet sales. You don’t expect them to advertise the quantity on hand at every specific store do you? Kphresh and FisherMan120 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just trying to get people in the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not want or need the 5500's.... I did the same thing, walked into a Cabelas and after seeing the ad and they only had the 5500's. Walked out after them trying to get me to sign up for a credit card and ordered 2 4500's from the BPS website (I think only 5 were available). My own fault for not checking before I left, but to be fair I looked all week for the deal online and couldn't find it so they must have published it either early Friday morning or late Thursday night.
