Walmarts Online

[Crestliner08]

Heads up! You can get some pretty decent deals on rods, reels, lines and lures on this website. And yes, even for crappie, as well as for bass fishing. However, you have to know what you want to buy (make, model & MSR price) and track the pricing day to day, in order to get the best deal. Let me explain what just happened with a recent purchase of mine...

I just ordered a Berkley Lightning Shock spinning rod. A 1-pc. 7'6" Med-Light (for float fishing for smallmouths) at Walmarts Online - to be delivered to the store for pick-up (to save shipping costs). Paid $38.00 for it, 3 days ago. But that's not the end to this story, by any means!

When I first saw this rod online a couple of weeks ago, it was only $35.00. Then it jumped to up $42.00 a few days later, when I went back to buy it. Obviously, I was disappointed and did not buy it then. About a week later when I went back, it was no longer being offered! And today it's going for $52.00! The MSR on the rod (and the BPS & Cabelas price) is $55.95, so you can see it's all over the place with Walmart online pricing. You just have to be patient and keep a watch on the item you are looking for, until it's at a price you think is a good deal. Hope this experience is of some benefit to some of you.

Does Walmart have a tracking tool, or do you just have to keep checking for updates?

I've also found good pricing for some components for depth finders. Another plus is if you have to return an item ordered online- simply make a copy of the confirmation email sent to you when you order & take it in store to customer service - receive full credit less shipping charges

I buy my 7 - 7.5' light and ultra light rods from them. I have really been pleased with all of them. I buy my 6+ BB reels for under $10 from ebay and together I usually have under $25 in each.

Gotten a few things by doing that

Yep, Done that with Wally World more than once. I bought about $40 of Blakemore Road Runner heads for only $17!! They had the price set at a certain price and I bought them and had them shipped to store for pick up. When I picked them up they were cheaper so I got the less price. I also had another order they messed up on and got a great $25 discount applied for the trouble. Good deals!
