Don't forget ... there's a Sportsman's Warehouse, & Dick's Sporting Goods just a few miles away from the new Cabela's ... so you can always do some comparison shopping. There's also Backwaters Outfitters, and while it is geared more towards Bass fishing ... they do have rods/reels on consignment (used) that can be some decent bargains.

And of course there's always Wally World ... where you could pick up a Berkley rod (Cherrywood or Lightnin rod) cheap. My fishing partner fishes Cherrywoods and catches his fair share ... and I have a 6'6" Eagle Claw med action rod that serves as a backup or loner outfit.
