Hey All

I stopped at my local Wally World today to pick up some cheap line to get my fishing fix during the cold winter.

while walking down the line aisle i decided to checout the ods they had in stock.  I came across an Abu Garcia Cardinal Tournament Grade spinning rod. #CTG561L, 5'6" light, 1/16 - 3/8oz lure, 2-8lb test....$33

I took it off the rack, gave it a few shakes and whips and seems very solid.  the tip was VERY flimsy, but nothing that would cause alarm on quality.  it felt really nice!! 

has anyone bought one of these let a lone see them in the store?  i checked BPS, nothing.  this is the first time i have ever seen these rods anywhere.

any users?  good or bad?  :-/

I was there today but didn't pay much attention to their rods. They only have a very few I have much use for.

I did notice that they do have a Cardinal reel/rod combo though. It's the 300 series reels. But they're about $60 I think.

I ended up leaving without getting a single thing, not even the Rapala X-rap 10 I had in my hand.

Hey, I thought you already ordered  an All Star IM10 rod.  Didn't you??

Hey Rooster.....

yes you are correct.  Im sending you a PM to explain.  its totally off topic from this thread
