33% off Economy Titanium & Stainless Steel Spinnerbaits & Buzzbaits

Regular price:
$2.99

Sale price:
$1.99

OK, everyone knows that a spinnerbait is a mainstay in one's tacklebox. And it doesnt matter if you fish fresh or saltwater. Fact is spinnerbaits work. I know personally the man who holds the IGFA world record for spotted bay bass (4 lbs - 15 oz). He caught it using a spinnerbait in Mission Bay, San Diego for the first time in his life! At just under $2 the economy spinnerbaits are at a great price. But if you are looking for a little more durability, the titanium spinnerbaits at just under $3 cant be beat. At this price you can buy ten or more and not worry about losing them. I just made an order to Cabela's right before I noticed these. If I was just a little less trigger happy with checking out, I would have about 20 of these along with the order I just made. Next payday, they will be. Get 'em before I do, but leave some for me! My colors: chartreuse/white, white, and firetiger. Click here to check them out. Just search for "economy titanium".

Rapala Folding Ruler (Great Value)

Sale price:
$3.97

I just thought these were too cool. I hate having to bring my fish ruler on fishing trips with me. Just more stuff to have to carry to the fishing spot. But this ruler folds down to 6" and fits in your back pocket. It's marked with both standard and metric markings. The ruler apears to be made of plastic, so though not as durable as metal rulers, it is non-corrosive so you dont have to worry about rust. This ruler is perfect for the food angler that needs to make sure if the catch is of legal size before taking it home to eat. Check it out at The Sportsman's Guide. Search for "rapala ruler".
