Anybody else noticed they have got 15% off for Black Friday but the prices have just gone up by 15% from last week

I only noticed this because I was looking at some Shimano reels last week and they were £179.99, this week they are £229.99 You couldn't make it up

Its a right mixed bag. I put some stuff in my basket at TFT then had a quick look round and some were still cheaper at places like The Tackle Tavern.

Same with the DNA sale, great if you want bulk but if you're after topping up bits your better off at TFT. Wish they'd do post free and mix and match.

Edit, I got fed up constantly having to look round, gave up!

Perhaps they sold all the stock they had and the next lot they purchased the price had gone up.
Their are lots of reasons.

Not in this case. I buy from there and for the last few years found you get a better deal in their pre Black Friday sales than the actual Black Friday sales. Bought a Solar brolly from them a few years ago, pre Black Friday sale, ended up paying £40 less than they had it in their Black Friday sale. Did the same last year with a few bits from there so definitely a consistent trend and tactic they use to attract buyers on Black Friday

They do the same each year. It will be similar in Jan and Easter. People must fall for it so if it's within trading standards then it's down to the customer to use their noggin.

Yep the same old Amazon have been doing it for years.

At the end of the day if you see something at a good price don't hang about thinking it might be cheaper on a Black Friday as we know months before it's probably been up for less.

I'm stunned that folk still get caught up in it year in year out

What I would say from TFT you can now get three Nash scope gtl 8000 for 382 quid. That's a steal. No where else is that cheap this black friday.

if you mean line lay, then you are looking at wrong reels, all pics ive seen line lay is incredible! I have no idea if they are any good but what I do know based on a person who services reel, that the scope range are solid reels and good internals

Great shop, use them all the time and usually has the best discounts. Ive had some superb discounts from tft that no other shop could get anywhere near.
