BPS Las Vegas Trip

Needlefish · #1 07-03-2007, 12:17 PM

"Pre-fished" the Bass Pro Shop in Vegas over the weekend, in preparation for the grand opening of the Rancho Cucamonga store July 18th. Got two Mitchell reels (300x and the smaller 310) for $18 each. Compared to Wal-mart price of $38 (300x). Nice "catch" I would say. They also had some sweet gaffs I had not seen anywhere else, small lightweight and even some telescopic............perfect for kayak or even to put in a backpack surf-fishing. Heck, you never know when a big halibut wants to "play" off Doheny.

Pablo,
Sounds like a cool trip. I was thinking of going on the 18th for the grand opening after work, but I think we're going to make a desert run and hit it either direction after a few weeks. I'm curious to see how many plastics they'll have on the shelf and how many pontoon boats they'll have setup.

I have one of the original Mitchell 300's I got when I was like 8 years old and the thing still works perfect. I don't use it alot, but I think that's pretty amazing. I'd like to see that gaff next time we catch up, I'd like one for the 'tube. Lets get together soon,
Perry
