Berkley Lightning Shock Rods
Posted: Sun Mar 15, 2015 4:01 pm
I just ordered the 1-pc. 7'6" Med-Light version of this rod at Walmarts - to be delivered to the store for pick-up, to save shipping costs. Paid $38.00 for it, about a week and a half ago. But that's not the end to this story. Heads up! If you shop Walmarts online for anything, be aware that the price on any item you are looking at, can & will change day-by-day!
When I first saw this rod online (at Walmarts) about a month ago, it was $35.00. Then it jumped to $42.00 a few days later. Then it was no longer being offered for about a week. A few days ago it was going for $52.00! The MSR on the rod (and the BPS & Cabelas price) is $55.95, so you can see it's all over the place with Walmart pricing. You just have to be patient and keep a watch on the item you are looking for, until it's at a price you think is a good deal. There are some great deals to be had by shopping online this way, as you can see.
In case you are wondering, I selected this rod for use with a float fishing presentation for deep water smallmouths, that I've been doing for many years. This is a topic unto itself. Maybe for another post if there is an interest. >/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />
