Wife and kids bought me a synergy spincasting reel for b-day, cool, was going to buy one anyway. Well, they told me that their was a lot of fishing stuff on cleareance so I stopped by this morn. Found the same reel with a rod for less money, bought two. Reels will go on our bows and rods will be put to work soon. Also bought minn kota extension handle, $5.00, atwood 500gph livewell pump, $7.00. Most stuff was 75% off. wal-mart in small cities = small crowds and good deals.
