Not sure of other areas, but in the DFW area, any item on clearance (ending in $0.98) is an additional 25% off at checkout. Just picked up an Ethos 6'6" MH for $27.00 after the discount. They had Falcon, the yellow Reese rods plus some Cherrywoods also discounted. Saw some spinning reels & some baits in the deal also.

Now if there was only an academy anywhere near me... somebody needs to tell Academy to expand to the northeast

Thanks for the heads up on this. Picked up some Seaguar Senshi for $5 and some change.

Well some are getting really good deals on other forums depends on the check out girls. Some are getting falcon bucoo rods for $44.98 and ethos rods for $27. My local academy wouldnt take additional 25% off any fishing stuff.  SO I drove to the one 45 minutes away and scored a ethos med spinning rod for $21. Had the check out chic take the 25% off manually plus the register was also taking the discount off all the other fishing stuff i bought even though at the other academy it wouldnt.

Academy is the first chain store I have come across that can have such hugh differences on sale items. Plus on other forums guys are just scanning rods when ever they go in and are getting great deals on rods sometimes 80 to 90 percent off. I have tried scanning in my local academy but I didnt run across any great deals yet.  Think this depends on teh caliber of people they have working in the store. Wish my local academy would hire some dummies to their pricing.
