TRRANGER Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Hey guys how does the program work, cannot find any info about it????? Thanks in adavance. TR
abkeenan Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Just bring in an old reel that is still in working functional condition and they will give you a voucher slip at the front of the store by the greeter person. Then go pick out your reel you want to purchase and when you pay you give them the slip and they take XXX dollars off the reel. Any yes shimano of course is the only manufacturer that doesn't participate in this program. I think the value breakdown is something like this: $5 - $30-48.99 $10 - $49-74.99 $15 - $75-99.99 $20 - $100-119.99 $25 - $120-159.99 $30 - $160-199.99 $40 - $200-249.99 $50 - $250-499.99 $100 - $500 and up

jeb Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 See if this link works. Note the fine print about Shimano. John B 08 Skeeter SL210, 225F Yamaha
Gone Fishing Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I don't understand why Shimano is not cooperating. Surely they can afford the loss for a good cause.
Bill P Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I don't understand why Shimano is not cooperating. Surely they can afford the loss for a good cause. I can't remember EVER seeing Shimano reels on sale...anywhere.
Bill Babler Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 BP has tried to screw Shimano on this program for years, with "Bait and Switch" I think they finely just got tired of all the hassel. Look how much the rebait prices have changed over the years. I could at one time trade in a Stadic, and get a Sustain, for about a $100.00 bucks. Not now, you have to buy a 500 dollar reel. I know BP pulled some crap on this program one time and Shimano told them if they didn't get their stuff in order they would remove their reels from the Store. Tim Sainato and I were in on it. Shimano, is powerful enough to do it. Shimano is a world wide company with gross sales higher than BP. And Bill P. you are right. The only time the reels come on sale is when a new model line comes out. They just don't have to discount the reels. I am very fortunate to be able to get some discounts on equipment, but on the Shimano stuff it is a Mear Pittance, and only sometime. They pretty much know you are going to buy it anyway. It is the best Mousetrap. You can still get good discounts on Daiwa's excellent reels however. I might try and grab a half dozen or so. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
