I didn't see a Rebate form near the Berkley display but I didn't ask anyone either.

If you go on-line to link, you'll see a Blue click for rebate form. You can print it out and send in for rebate. Limit is 3 rebates. 

So with discount and $1 back per lure, I ended up with 3 Flicker Shads for $9!
You can’t beat that Cool

Looks like the longest one is only 2-3/8". Seems a little small. Wink

It's ALL about the motion in the Ocean. Wink Grin

BUT if size is what you’re after, they have the Berkeley Flicker Minnow on sale with rebate as well.

Runs up to 3”, still short but every little bit helps. Grin Roll Eyes

Different colors come in different sizes, jimmar.  The Pearl white comes in 3 1/4" (so I got 3 of them).

Good catch PJ.
They had so many on the rack at Bass Pro, I didn't even notice the size varied with the color, I only noticed the size/weight combos.

We fished them side by side with #9 Shadraps and they caught more fish (walleyes).  Colors; pearl and blue.  I bought a new supply on the way home.  $5 vs $9 goes along way.

i heard somewhere, probably walleyecentral.com, that the #9 isn't that great, something about the #7. thats the best size. the #9 doesnt roll right? i dunno

to be fair, i dont catch much on shad raps either...

although, this last year i saw this and HAD to give it a try, best success of any shadrap color yet, was killer on those early morning (4am) walleyes

fleet farm exclusive color, sky tiger

give me a husky jerk or an x rap any day!

not sure on the prices by you guys, but by me (wisconsin), flickershads are normally $3.50, on sale for $3 almost every week, and fleet farm has their special colors $9/3 all the time, and shad raps are $4.50 and on sale ever other week for $4.

I didn't realize Mills Fleet Farm carried so many lures, some at real decent prices. Wink

I checked, we don't have them in MI. Sad
Kinda of surprised they haven't opened one in this part of the woods.

There's always the on-line store, but I like to browse and shop if I can.

I'm a fan of the XRap also.  I prefer this bait when casting and so its working the shorelines and taking more bass than walleyes.  The shadraps get used more for trolling and stay down on the bottom so the ratio of walleyes caught go up.

the fleet farm website will make you real angry real fast. its not user friendly, especially for fishing lures, as each color is its own link. i find it very frustrating. and the online prices are higher than in store.

I don't think the farm n fleet in oswego il has good lure prices. remember looking at a few rapalas and other stuff that i knew prices on and thinking they were overpriced. on the other hand the local menards carries flicker shads and had an end of year clearance sale. 2.00/ea so i cleared the rack. sorry MP.

Dicks sporting goods has flicker shads for 3.99 and 50% of a second one. $6 for two. Online shipping is free when ordering $25 or more. Think they have the same pricing going on in the stores. Bought several today along with some soft baits and new line. Keeping telling myself that I am going to take less tackle on trips but somehow can't stop buying new stuff.

confessions of a true crankaholic... i feel your pain

i was at gander/fleet/cabelas/scheels this past week getting some stuff for my archery addiction, and saw a bunch of rapala taildancers and storm hot n tots on clearance... needless to say, i now have an extra tray full of cranks that are really only useful in canada and one or two local lakes as they run too deep. had to have them for a "what if" scenario!

luckily, if we end up taking someone new on our trip up there, i can outfit them with a bunch of proven lures and even some duplicates of my most productive ones!

the fleet farms in waupaca/stevens point had the taildancers on clearance. point had theirs in some stand up clear bins near the camouflage clothes. waupaca had theirs in little bins scattered in each isle and a couple huge bins near the turkey blinds.

cabelas in green bay had the hot n tots on clearance in the way back righthand corner of the store, near the ice fishing stuff in little racks in the isles
