1861, Okuma Tackle Bags at Academy Sports
Posted by Doug fm Dallas, Wed Dec-13-06 03:52 PM
Okuma 8 tray tackle bags are available at Academy Sports and Outdoors for half the discount price. No sign advertising this fact, but they ring up at half price. They have an eight tray bag and the backpack bag. The eight tray bag includes a built-in rain cover that pulls up over the bag. Bottom is superior also, "durable waterproof reinforced plastic bottom." A very nice bag. Email me at dlaing@mcknightproperty.com if you have access to an Academy and would like to know the pricing. Many happy hooksets!

That is the same bag we gave away....

What price are they selling them for?

Okay. I was going to be subtle about it in case you / someone did not want the pricing listed. The tag on the bag is "The Amazon." Pre-tagged every day price is "$48.76." I paid $24.38 for mine last night. The pre-tagged price on the backpack bag is $38.95 or so, and the ring-up price is $19.50 or so. The quality / design of the bag easily qualifies it as a $50.00 bag.

It doesn't get much better than that... The retail on the bags that Academy was originally selling them for was $80.

For those interested... Academy is the only place that you can get these bags. I have about 75 in stock right now at Okuma that I was going to sell but since they still have some, I am going to hold off on selling them until they have reduced their stock to zero.

The bag really works well for your arsenal. Not included in the pictures (but will fit with all of the other gear) are my large digital camera, Salter scale, lure retriver with rope and some other goodies that I use. If you are looking for a bag that you can very effectively store 40+ baits with, this one will work for you.

Doug: I opened Academy Sport's site but could not find an Okuma bag at any price?
