Re: Midway USA Shimano mystery box
There's no guarantee on how much of that $500 value is tackle and how much of it is the reel. So I'd be wary, I wouldn't want to spend over 300 bucks on a $250 reel and assorted tackle...

Funny, the first comment says "They give you an SLX". Not sure if it is a genuine comment or someone trolling. Was marked down to $325 area now. For a US Metanium and some lures/line I would be happy with that deal.
I liked the mystery box idea for lures, still swear I had that idea first in college, but I don't know about other items. Reels are picked for specifics, matching to techniques, same with lines. You could say the same about lures, but you can generally find a way to make them work.

Speaking generally, assorted tackle always seems to end up being items that shops can't sell so they just off-load them into a "mystery box". So you end up with 1 decent lure and 5 or 6 other misc items that will sit on a shelf.
Always learning...

So true. Or you get the colors that don't sell. I know someone is never working another day in their life though for coming up with mystery boxes. Not just fishing, but a ton of those monthly product subscriptions have made many people big money...
