The Cheapskate Kayak Fisherman - Deals Thread

It came up on another thread several weeks ago, many of us have found kayaking or fishing related deals in the past, but had nowhere to post them or share them. This thread should be a good composite deals thread for killer pricing on things, or even on useful repurposing of existing items for kayaking purposes.

I'll start us off with a deal I found on another forum. This definitely doesn't qualify for "Cheapskate" status, but it's a darn good deal on a Reel I haven't seen go on sale often, and certainly not 50% off.

Use code: WMAFF for another $15 off $200

They also have some other reels 50% off.

For that kind of money I would rather buy a Siegler.

They were 50% off, they've removed those models after they sold out.

Field Supply has a 50% off deal on Under Armour fishing stuff. I personally own their "Chesapeake" Pants and shorts, and several shirts as well generally good quality. YMMV on sizing available and pricing, but there's some pretty decent deals to be had.

If anyone sees a killer clearance price on Lowrance HOOK 5's, post it here.  I've been looking for a great deal now that they're about to be discontinued, but haven't seen one yet.

I have a raincheck for an okuma coldwater low profile line counter reel for 69.99 from bimart.  Don't think I'm going to use it - there are still 4 in stock in Corvallis FWIW.  If anyone is interested send me a PM.

What's a good price for the Hook 5?  I saw Cabela's has them on clearance for $250.

Thanks, Cosmo.  Pre-Christmas pricing at a few sites was $199 with a coastal map card - and I should have bit the bullet then.  Hoping to find one for $220 or less (less, please).

The combined price for a transducer and power cable is $159 with the price going up-and-down by $10 every other day.  New HOOK2 finders use different transducers and power cables, so I have to get off the pot soon.

Actually the hook2 can use your existing transducers, you just need an adapter cable.  They do use different power cable though. 

Good to know.  Thank you.

No hook 5's unfortunately but some pretty good deals on some Garmin Units:

Also some good deals on other clearance stuff.

That Daiwa rod is an excellent deal !

Bimart has hook4's for 199.  Thinking of picking one up.  That's a good price on that raincheck, bb.  I got one for Christmas but it was close to a hundred bucks I think.  Need to get a rod for it.

Yes it is.  I have the spinning version of that rod and it's my favorite non-fly rod.

How is the action/bend on that Daiwa rod?  I need something softer for trolling/mooching purposes.
