Default Was I seeing things?

Tell me someone else saw the BPS Johnny Morris signature series on sale for $79.94? From last Thursday to early Friday morning is was on Sale. When I called BPS that afternoon to verify before I drove over there to pick they sounded shocked and checked the website to verify. Sure enough it was back up to $119.99. Something told me to go ahead and place the order online as something like this happened last year.

But did anyone else see it on sale?

I just checked and you are correct. It is $79.94. However, it is the spinning reel and not the casting reel. Maybe the sale ended and they put that price on the spinning reel.

I did see it on sale also. I actually got an email from Bass Pro anouncing that it was on sale for a limited time.

Probably. The casting reel WAS on sale for that price. They've been throwing out a few items at a 1 day sale price. The casting reel was a few days ago

It was the baitcaster. I went to BPS anyway and they said if they pulled it up on the web for that price they would honor it. They actually said they HAD to honor whatever the web price shows. If that happens again I'm dropping everything including work and I'm getting it.

I had the same thing happen at ABC Warehouse on a tv. I knew the sale was over, but it still showed the sale price online

Well it's on sale again but just not for $79.94. It's $99.94.

Ugh....

Once upon a time I recomended BPS reels on this site. When you first buy them, they have smooth, fast performance for a good price.

But trying to get them fixed is a hassle, and they will break on you before a non-house brand reel such as a ****mano or abu.

I have the JM Elite and BPS Pro Qualifier. No problems and the smoothest most solid reels I have. This includes Quantum Accurist and Abu Revo SX among others.

I own 12 BPS reels and must say that none of this has been true for me. I've had several other reels that have had a lot more problems than the BPS reels.
