Shimano Compre at Wallmart

[Nipfisher]

I went to Wallmart in North Bay yesterday and a price tag in the fishing rod section caught my attention. It was $119. Not used to seeing "higher end" rods at Wally world so I checked them out. They had the 6' and 6.6' Shimano Compre spinning rods and the 6.6' Compre bait casting rods. I am sure there are better prices for the Compre but was surprise to see them there with all the other $20 - $80 rods.

Noticed the same thing a few times at my local wally world.I dont think the buyers really know what they are buying most of the time.They rely on their sales reps to put the inventory in the stores, and lots of times its end of the line stuff, or what ever is overstocked at thier suppliers.

if you find a 8'(or longer) musky rod for 119.00 let me know!

119 sounds about right for the rods you mentioned. I bought a 6'6 baitcast at BPS for 129 a few weeks ago. Not sure if its still happening now but shimano is offering a $20 rebate on all compres. Check their website for details, a compre for $99 is a good deal
