Been getting some good rods at a steal from Walmart.
They are on sale here for $124 lol.
Lucky, just plain lucky! I really like those rods and at that price? Makes it sooo very nice
Yeah I got 5 of them so far, quite happy. I'm trying to upload my combos.
Wouldn't let me attach the pic of them together, but here they are. Plus a Jason Christie Falcon and a Rick Clunn square bill rod I got for 30
I hear ya! They are overlooked rods at the price, but they are light, nicely balanced I like em too!
This makes me wanna run to the WalMart a town over to see if they have these that cheap.
They had some in the markdown section of my walmart. A red tag with 129.99 on it....lol
There's probably a strong possibility that it's because I'm in El Paso, where the nearest lake is literally a 100 miles lol
lowest i found one for was 75. wasnt the model i was looking to buy so i passed. now another local walmart has a ton in stock but no sale on them.
I've been able to pick 3 of them up for $25ea at my walmart. Not that I needed anymore rods but it felt wrong not to buy them at that price.
I only had to pay 45$ for mine!
The one by my house has a couple of those still on clearance. They also have a display of Abu Garcia veritas rods for $34
You guys are killin me with those deals, geez.
They don't even sell that rod in ours

Thanks!
I've grabbed 2 Vendettas for $30 each. They had the Wright & Mcgill Skeet Reese rods for the same price.
What? I picked up a "herm" Bucoo rod for $80.00 about two months a ago and I thought I stole that rod. You people make me sick!
I know one of my Wally Worlds still have a few of these on clearance. If they have them for $25-30 I'll have a new spinning rod and you guys can buy the rest for $50.00 plus shipping!
Mine has them for $30-50 in the clearance. Every one of them has something wrong from a micro crack on the blank (impossible to see unless you look for it) to a guide miss-aligned. Not saying there is anything wrong with the rods you guys are buying, just make sure you check them over well. I feel sorry for the people buying them here.
Any you guys gotta 6'10" heavy pitchin rod to trade? Lol

Just a heads up but it's nowhere near a heavy power rod. As with all the bucoos they are overrated. Plus it's a mod/fast taper. I use my 2 for traps and square bills.
I appreciate that.

Here is the thing, even though they might have cracks, its still covered by Falcon's Warranty.
The one I got for $15 had a cracked handle under the EVA. 3rd time out, it broke, so I sent it in. Waiting fkr my replacement to arrive.
$15 for the rod. $4 to ship, $19 bucks for a perfect, brand new Squarebill Rod that is light as a feather? I'M GAME!!!
no veritas for $34 at walmart. untrue.

Is that red reel a Revo Rocket?
And if so, do you like it?

Every walmart is independent and has different sales. What others may have found may not be true for your local area, most assumed this is common knowledge.

No, that would be nice. But it's a Quantum Kinetic PT, great reel for the price
Got a call back from Falcon regarding my warranty claim on the $15 Bucoo. For those that dont know, first trip out the handle cracked and broke inside the EVA at the reel seat. "Scott", I believe was his name, asked if I did ANY modifications to the handle. Ummmmm no, I bought the rod,( I sent a receipt), used it and it and it broke. He said his guys didnt find the break to be caused by manufacturing or construction. BUT, they will go ahead and replace it, if I covered S&H.
Hmmmm, ok. So, $15 for the rod. $3 for me to ship it to them, $20 for them to ship it to me. And Ill have a new rod Friday.
Sounds like a walmart employee stepped on the handle and heard a crack then they sold it off on clearance. I'm sure they noticed the price tag on the receipt too which threw up some huge red flags. You are lucky they are warranting it.
He seemed hesitate when he said they would cover it. Im glad they did, if not, then Id be SOL cause I couldnt return it to Walmart. I looked it over good at the store, guess I just missed it.
