Nipfisher Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I picked up one of these combos on sale today. They are advertised at $79.99 on sale for $23.99. 70% off. They are 6'6" Medium rods. Not a bad price for a back up I can leave in the boat. Anyone use one of these combos yet? The store in North Bay has about 200 of them left.

I have no lockable rod storage in my boat so having a few rods I can leave in there or let my 9 year old use/drop in the lake is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckhorn250 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 bought 2 last year...both rods snapped at the tip, one while I was loading line. Brought them in for an exchange. Hope you have better luck then I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pics Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 My post was moved when I let everyone in on some good deals for an online auction...perhaps because some of the mods don't like the retailer I mentioned....I DID end up with a Marcum Lx 5 for $300 taxes in....

johnnyb Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Might have looked like you were trying to promote another site, or sell something directly through that site. Any time something like that happens, shoot a message to the mods....they're great. If they don't answer, chances are you didn't want to hear the answer anyway It's one of the ways they're efficient, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL.In all seriousness take it back. Edited March 29, 2012 by davey buoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you pass on this,and wait for another sale?,I would of looked at it but I have three cheap spinning reels and rods and that's more than enough for me .I have one good spinning and one decent bait caster I use on a regular basis. This leads me to a post I will ad later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This leads me to a post I will ad later. I bought one Davey. If I consider all of my rods, (cheap and expensive) spinning and bait casters, trolling set-ups, musky set-ups, pike set-ups, break down rods, and fly rods I think I have close to 20. I really only use about 10 each season so I have began to sort through them. Our public library runs a fishing program in conjunction with Big Brothers where they will loan out rod / reel combos and tackle boxes to kids so they can go fishing. I have a package of 3 combos and 3 tackle boxes with tackle to donate to the program. I may also look into arranging a tackle swap and donate funds and tackle to that program and others.

That's amazing,good for you!!It will bring a lot of joy to the kids who otherwise wouldn't have a chance to enjoy what we call fishing whenever we want.
