Do these upper end St Croix (Legend) rods ever go on sale?

I’ve never seen any on sale. HOOK 1 just closed all their stores. Lots of gear on sale there...but not that rod.

I'm going to keep my eye out. Just might have to pull the trigger on one.

Buy the blank and learn how to build a rod. Not that difficult and very rewarding hobby.

I could build it for under probably
less than 200 dollars. I've built a number of St Croix SC 5'S. I dont build anymore. The advantages of a custom made rod are handles that fit your particular hand and accurate guide placement based on proven blank loading techniques. Go to www.rodbuilding.com and they have lots of information on there. This is a handle on a SC V St Croix from 10 years ago. I believe it's the best handle you can put on a spinning rod. Lightest and most sensitive. Sorry for the rambling.

Using the exact components, on the rod mentioned, I am not even sure you can buy the individual components for less than 250 dollars...then you have to account for your time as a rod builder. The Torzite guide set alone is around 100 bucks...with the Arowana tip top alone at the 19 dollar mark. I am not sure one can even buy the blank for that rod but if you can I would guess it would sell for 150-200 bucks.
