A few months ago I found a website from another boating forum that is sort of like a Sam's Club or Costco for fishermen, but there's no fee to join. I've bought some stuff, and have been happy. My latest purchase was a Penn 555GS for $75 (reg retail is $150), ans Guideline sunglasses for $45 (retail $150 also). The sale items change every week or two, and I've gotten Rapala's for next to nothing, and lots of fishing clothing. The website is TightLinz. If you click there and sign up, I'll get a referral if/when you order something (which I appreciate). I have no affiliation with the site other then I'm a customer. FYI, current sales are Penn stuff, Rugged Shark shoes, Onyx pfd's (the camo one looks great), and RailRiders apparel.

***Mods - if this violates forum rules, please accept my apologies***
 
Yeah, it's a little bit of a waiting game. As long as you're getting the emails, you'll get the new sale listing (about every 1-2 weeks or so), and you'll find a smoking good deal. It took about a month and a half before I made my first purchase.
 
I just joined too...you outta be racking up the store credit! Now that you tricked us, you have to do a Tinboats giveaway of whatever you bought with the store credit. Its only fair. haha jk

And us married guys know how well that works! :mrgreen:

Yeah, I got nixxed at a yard sale last week by mine. Old guy was selling a tackle box that was full of mostly weights and crap but had a few old lures and stuff in it and it would have been five bucks.

The wife impressed upon me that perhaps I had already bought more tackle than I will need for a while and that I already have four tackle boxes from yard sales. I keep telling her, "Baby...you have got to grasp that the tackle box is free it is what's inside that I am buying...and if there is one decent lure in there I saved money!".

She just sees a bunch of the same stuff I already have.

I'm confused. :?: You brought your wife with you, knowing there may be something you want to spend money on? Why would a fisherman do that? It's easier to ask forgiveness then to ask permission. :LOL2:

As an example, last Sunday, my wife went out with her friend, and while she was gone, I found myself perusing the boats section of craigslist. Found a Johnson 3.3hp for $50 (asking), bought it for $30, and the wife was okay with it. It's a skill you acquire and fine tune over many years. :mrgreen:
 
Haha...we go yardsaling together, it's just one of the things we do together. If its a specific item on Craigslist I am on my own
;) that's how I got my boat.
 
Interesting site to say the least. I see they have limited quanities on some items. the Penn casting reel is sold out. I signed up always looking for a good deal.
 
For those of you that haven't signed up (and for those of you who have), the upcoming sale was just announced; SEBILE Lures at upto 80% off, and PFLUEGER combos upto 52% off. Both of them start on Monday 4/23. I'm stoked about the Sebile lures! If you need to sign up, click here.
