In store specials were listed on their site today.
That's a great price for a BG 5000 if you're in the market for one......

Everything in store was 50% off (bar a few very top end items such as stella reels and the like). However, given that everything at Mia's is always marked up 25/30%, the 50% sale doesn't really mean "half price" off normal retail prices, but it was still 25/30% off the "normal prices" that you would expect to pay at any other shop, so was definitely a very worth while visit to stock up the tackle box and rod and reel collection!

If a rod normally retails at any other fishing shop for R700, it would normally have a "marked price" at Mia's of R1,000, but yesterday was being sold for R500.

Regular Mia's shoppers would know that everyone always gets a 15-30% "discount" on the marked prices of everything you buy on any other day of the year (depending on how "regular" a customer you actually are) so what you end up paying is normally fairly aligned to the prices at other shops...

was a little disappointed that not EVERYTHING was 50%.
was in such a rush to squeeze in a bargain run in lunch hour, only saw the slip when I got home that only certain items I got 50% off.

Took the opportunity to replenish consumables and terminal odds and sodds... got some custom lures heading my way in the next month or so that will need some shiny bits so that was main focus.
24 bucks a pack of inline singles sure felt special to me!!!  w;k
A mate got a 13'6 coastline and an Azores z65 for R1600, so I rekon if you knew what you were after before going in there were some good bargains to be had.

Purchased a  reel  yesterday marked price R1100, received a quote of R750 for the reel  a week ago and I  paid R 595 yesterday.

A heads up for those who are in Joburg and up for some shopping that the Mia's 50% sale is next week Wednesday 27 June. To put the sale in perspective - there's a rod that I have my eye on that has a "marked price" at Mia's of R2,500 and the same rod at Basil Manning has a marked price of R1,600 (probably what the price should be). At the Mia's sale I will pay R1,250. Effectively I will be getting around a 20% discount on what I should or would be paying for that rod, so whilst not "half price", it is definitely still a worthwhile exercise!

Don't want to damp your spirit there Nick A-s, some stuff, like some rods, aren't subject to 50% discount but still discounted, think those items have a nett tag, well that's my experience in the past

Hi Bassbug, that's correct  -the "nett items" are discounted by 10%, but the majority of items are "50% off". I spend way too much time (and money) at that shop and know their pricing structures well. Also been to a few of their sales over the years so know what to expect. If there is a particular item that you are interested in it is worth checking whether it is currently marked as "net" or full price, and what discount you would hence get.
