I was at a local bait shop yesterday afternoon, just sort of goofing off. Started looking through a bucket of crappie poles and discovered a couple of 14 foot Ozark Pro Trollers marked at $43. I thought that was odd because the bucket of Ozark 14 foot Pro Trollers right next to this one was marked at $65. I examined the rods closely. They were the same. They had the ame markings, the same graphics, the same everything. I called an employee and asked what the difference between the two buckets was. She did not know. I asked her if the rods in the $43 bucket were really $43. She said yes. I asked her why. She had no idea.....

I now have a full set (8) of Ozark 14 foot pro trollers. And I saved about $200 off of the cheapest I could find them anywhere else.

The moral of this story is: Spend more time piddling around in local bait shops!!!

PS.... there were a few more in the bucket when I left. I am not sure I can say exactly where I found them (forum rules, maybe?) but if anybody is interested, PM me and I will tell you where they were.
