fals advertising - Fishing Kings
« on: Sep 28, 2017, 06:11 PM »
False advertising!!!!! look at the braided lines. states "$12.95 - save $107" red line. if you look at the prices, this would be for the 1500 yard spool. The other lines are similarly advertised. Fishing Kings will not honor their sale prices. Click on their website

Not sure I'd call it "false" but it is a bit misleading. I see this frequently where you can select from a number of pound tests and spool sizes. the advertisement always fronts the lowest price for the lightest line. I have not seen it compared to the highest MSRP spool so there's the mis-lead.

Our local big box stores advertise tires the same way: lowest price in the flyer = the smallest size. By the time I look at the size I need it's 2 - 3 times as much.

That said, if you're fine with some Chinese no-name superline it's still a smokin' deal in any pound test and it does get better the bigger the spool. For example: 80# test and 300 yds. will nick you $18 bucks before S/H (don't know what that is) and for a name brand, best deal, downtown would cost you twice that.

Depends upon what you're using it for and how much confidence you want to have in your line.
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

If someone is stupid enough to believe they are saving $107 by buying a $12.95 spool of line, then they deserve the disappointment they get when they realize it isn't true.
