I went to Bass Pro today because I was bored. Ended up getting a good deal. Their Crappie Maxx Pro series IM8 rods are on sale. They are usually around $60 but I got it for $44. It is the lightest rod I have for sure. Can't wait to try it. I got a decent Shimano to go with it. I like my BnM's but for that price I had to try one. Also picked up a new BG color in the Minnow Mind'R. It's called Firefly. It has a purple glitter body and pink tails. Should be good in our regular dingy water. Lowrance is also having rebates on certain models of fishfinders. I looked at a Elite-5 DSI for $599.00. They are giving a $100.00 rebate for another week or so.
