Stopped to get school supplies on the way back to my hometown after a long weekend of 8u travel ball, and of course have to make a quick visit to fishing section. To my surprise they had BnM rods on clearance. They still had a few PST 14 ft models for $15.00 and West Point for $10.00. They also had some 10 and 12 ft Sam Heatons for $15 as well. I picked up 2 ten ft BGJPS and a 12 ft for $10 a piece.
Wow! I do the very same thing!
I used to try and support "Mom and Pop" stores, local tackle shops, sponsors on the internet, even Bass Pro and Cabelas ----- but the only store I spend money at now is WalMart!
Best "everything" at WalMart these days. If I don't see it in my local shore, I'll shop WalMart dot Com and get Free shipping. Dropped at my door in 3 days!
Great food, fishing tackle, cloths, Computers and even TV's and Cell Phones!
I love WalMart!!
Good find. I have to check my local store. Like I need more rods!
At those prices I would have went crazy and bought every B&M they had. Good find. Did you get what you went for?:biggrin
Dang. I might have to stop there this weekend and check them out. I have been wanting to get some rods to try out spider rigging but never wanted to spend 100 on rods just to try it out
I found some like that at a walmart here in mississippi except they only had westpoints for $12 and a few southbend 10 footers for $15
Just checked our local WalMart and they don't stock Heatons and their B&Ms aren't marked down according to dept manager.
I like my Sam Heatons 11 footers but find my Southern Crappie cork handle rods to be better. They offer a choice from 6-10 footers with cork handles. I like the 2 foot difference for longling.
I scan our Walmart every week, they have a nice pile of BnM's and not selling. At some point they will mark em down. Hopefully I catch it soon enough to pick up the Sam Heaton with bottom reel seat.
I usually check the fishing section in my local Walmart each time I'm there which is about every two weeks, up until this last weekend I'd never seen them stock a BnM Trolling rod. I went into the lawn'n garden section and happened to look up and spotted a rod almost touching the ceiling so automatically headed in that direction and there it was a PST 16 ft and PST 14 ft models as well. Only thing they were at regular price, but this is encouraging I'll have to keep an eye out for a price drop.
I love wal mart. Old folks fashion store for sure.
My Walmart doesn't even know what a crappie rod is!
Thanks for the tip. Went there today and bought 3 14' psts for 15 a piece and I picked up a 7' Sam Heaton for 10 bucks and two sets off Capps and Coleman rigs for 3 bucks a piece!!! I cleaned them out of the psts and Coleman rigs. What a deal!!!!
Gotta check my local Walmart this week to see if they have anything on sale
I spoke with the guy in the sporting goods section and after I purchased everything i asked why clearance markdown. He said they were doing inventory and there were still more mark downs to come.
My local (closest) Walton World seems to think everyone should fish with a Ugly Stik. :Doh: And while I do have a "super center" Wally World in town, I haven't made the trip across town to check it out. And the last time I visited our Cabela's, Sportsmans Whse., or Dick's Sporting Goods stores ... there wasn't much in the way of rods over 10-12' to choose from. Luckily, for me, I'm not currently in need of any more "long rods".
Glad to hear you got in on the deal also fishbrain , always nice to save a little money.
I never figured out how buying stuff on sale saves money. I got stuff on sale from years ago still unused. I guess the auctioneer will profit from all the stuff come doomsday for me.

That's the truth. It's like when they say "buy one get one free". It's not free if you have to buy something first.Quote:
