Rebates - Redfield Battlezone and Flicker Shad

I will start off by saying that I chose these products based on the quality and their anticipated use. They just happened to have rebates available.  I wouldn't buy something that had a rebate and try to find a use for it in the future to justify it.

Redfield Battlezone
I found a scope that I wanted for my 308 at Cabelas, but it was $199 plus tax. When I got home, I started searching for the same one online. I found it at Black Bear Sporting Goods for $132+$10 S&H. I also found a rebate at Redfield for $45.

Total cost $97.



Flicker Shad
These baits are another instance of "You get what you pay for". We have caught a lot more fish since we started trolling with these. Crankbaits are expensive, but trolling open water you are not very likely to loose them, especially with 20lb braid. I found the rebates online before I actually went to the store. Miranda actually pointed out the sign to me. It was right in front of my face and I never saw it. The math is listed below.

11 cranks = $48

Rebate - $15 off $40 = $33

Rebate - Free braided line +S&H = $19

Total = $1.75 each




I didn't get a picture of the other rebate sign. There are forms on the back side.

3.99 is still cheaper than the Rapalas.

I can already taste the fish.

I had accumulated a few crankbaits, but nothing that dives over 8'.
