Was it just St. Croix rods on sale? Any deals for reels, lures or electronics?
Come to think about it I bought a new St. Croix at the Thorne's booth at the Sportsshow this year. The Throne Brothers guy told me reason they were on sale is because St. Croix added some new gimick their rods this year, so they were closing out last year's models. Anyways, I love the rod I got (baitcasting 7' med-mod) and you'll love the feel of those Avid.
Thanks for the update.
