Cablela's-help me use gift cards for reels/rods

No rush, as I don't don't start using this stuff until January, but I want to use this credit for bait casting stuff, as I am set with spinning. So, my main questions are:
When are the price reductions the most?
Are any of the Bass Pro brand reels good and what brand do they compare to? (I assume they are just like one of the others made by one of the Korean factories). Any of the others on sale now look to be a good buy?
Any of the Cabela's and/or BPS rod lines a good buy?

They’re fairly equivalent to Lew’s. I have a Carbon Lite and Pro Qualifier and have no complaints. They’ve lasted quite a few years and are still going strong.
ETA: The Carbon Lite rods are pretty good, too.

Cabela's currently has the Abu Garcia REVO SX in 8.0:1 gear ratio marked down from $160 to $100. I think it is on sale till 12/8. It is only that gear ratio though. The lower gear ratio versions of the reel are still $160.
Abu Garcia® Revo® SX Baitcast Reel - $100

It's not. Normally the SX is $160:
Abu Garcia® Revo® SX Casting Reel - $160
They just have the 8.0:1 gear ratio as a special during cyber week for $100. It is a great reel and for $100 is a really good deal.

What about this KVD?
Now that KVD is Team Lew's I suspect you'll be able to find a lot of his old Quantum stuff marked down. That's a nice reel too but I'd get the Revo SX over that.
ETA: Not sure if you're aware, but you can walk into a BPS and swap over your Cabela's gift cards for BPS ones now. Their deals this week appear to be identical so I don't know if it'd help any, but you may find something in an actual BPS that is priced differently.

Quantum reels are nice, but I personally don't care for them. Hard to explain. I just don't like the feel of them. I'd go Abu Garcia over Quantum.

I have two different Revos and I like both of them, although I have not fished a Quantum. I can only speak for the quality of the Revos.

Bass Pro brand rods and reels are actually pretty nice. I am not sure about the cabelas branded stuff. Never used it before

That's a good price for that revo sx. I have 4 revos and really like them. The quantum linked is a good reel and pretty sure it comes with quantum's 3 year warranty. I used to be a big quantum guy till I started fishing with the daiwa tatulas. I still have some Quantum tour mg's that I love. Most reels in the $100-200 range are going to be really solid. Never fished with BPS reels but I'm sure they're good as well since they have a bunch of pros using them like evers and defoe. I will say I loved my older carbonlite rods but 2 of them have snapped on my while making a cast. Not sure how the newer white ones are.

I like just about all of Lew’s reels. But the Mach series is not my favorite. Main reason is because I think they are over priced. That discounted price is about where they should be. If I’m going to pay $140, I’d get the Tournament MB.

I decided to pass. Not in a hurry.
