Saw Some Good Deals On G.loomis And Shimano Samples

Just came back from Kittery trading post in Kittery, Maine. They had lots of samples for some good prices. I almost walked out with a Compre for $53....but I put it back because I already bought enough rods this month (which may cause my wife to kill me in my sleep). They had Crucials for 90-100, cumaras for $130, Compres were $50-$60, Clarus for around $40 and sellus for $25. They had about 8-9 racks full of them to choose from. For Loomis they had some GLXs left but mostly GL3 and GL2, some salmon rods...the loomis selection was more picked over but the prices were about 35-45% off MSRP on them depending on the model. They had about 9 or so racks full of sample rods and maybe 1 1/2 of saltwater models.The reels are all 30%-50% off and they have maybe 100 or so to choose from but almost all spinning reels except the lower end baitcasters and saltwater models. While I was in there people were calling in orders over the phone and the clerk was picking rods and taking credit card #s to ship them out.

I had to fight the bait monkey off with everything I had today. I won this battle....but he is winning the war.
