    FYI... credit card exchange rate is 1.44. Was surprised that it's jumped up that much so quickly.

    It is 1.4135 over the counter in credit unions today (I work in one). Still an awesome sale even after awful exchange in this case.

    I think Credit Cards take an extra transaction fee because I just checked ScotiaBank and it's 1.4275 to buy USD.


    I agree. Not questioning that it's still a good deal.

    Awesome deal! I have a pike tournament in the early summer that these are going to be perfect for. Thanks for posting!

    You are quite welcome. Between a friend and I we ordered 16 of them. Sounds like the guy has 1500 left in stock and the sale is on until they are gone. When they are basically 4 for the price of one it is hard to pass up on!

    Baits came in earlier this week and they are very nice. I would highly suggest picking them some up for musky and pike. The prices have increased to $9.99 USD, but still huge savings off the regular $24.99 USD. The order was shipped USPS and no duty or brokerage fees were charged.

    Just received my Mega D's yesterday. Holy crap!!! One time where the description MEGA is spot on. They are ginormous baits! Curious as to what rod you folks plan on using these with?

    Picked up a Shimano Convergence 8'6" extra heavy (rated for 3-12 oz lures) during boxing week for $120+tax. Regular price is $160+tax Shimano Convergence Muskie Casting Rods | Cabela's Canada . That $160 is still the same price from early 2015, so expect that to go up 30-40% like all of the Shimano reels have since our dollar tanked come spring.

    I currently have an older convergence that it will be replacing. The old one was 7'6", really looking forward to the extra 1' for longer sweeping figure 8's.

    Same. Get a great deal on some baits and it's gonna cost me $200 for a rod capable of handling them. Lol. Oh well,,,one more stick in the arsenal I suppose.

    Me either... yet :smilingimp:

    I think my buddy is getting tired of me borrowing his rod. He has a nice tackle industries pole and a curado for me to use in the mean time so that might be why I'm dragging my heels a bit. :p
