Bob, on 3-21 I drove all the way Cabelas in Lehi because our Farmington Cabelas didn't have what I was looking for. I bought a pair of Okuma low profile counter reels CW-354D. Cabelas regular price was $159.99 on sale for $127.99, the Cabelas regular price is the same retail price as Okuma, I applied my Cabelas points and my veteran discount and out the door for $102.39ea. I felt I did good enough for a buy. But I also learned that Okuma is making reels for the Cabelas brand label. They are making one of the Coldwater series and a Convector series which Cabelas is selling for less than half the price. If the Okuma model I bought had the Cabelas brand on it I could have saved a lot more buying it. I am also very cautious on how much I spend at Cabelas. I don't do much online ordering with them so I never really applied for the veteran status to be filed but do show my proof at the register. I do side with you but there is a changing situation in our systems of the way we do business and it "sucks". We know the retail world is gouging and is in their plans but one has to do what they have to do for a good sale. It doesn't hurt them lowering prices.
