I get the news letter from Plat.....but I also check the site darn near everyday. About 6 years back I learned a good lesson about Japanese sales. First.....they have real sales and if you see one and want it it is best to buy right then. Five years back Plat had a Dreams Yume rod on sale for 250 bucks....normally sold for 500 dollars. I kept putting off buying it even though my wife kept urging me to get it. I woke up one morning and decided to make the purchase....the sale was over. I have checked on that rod almost everyday since then and it has never been back on sale. I have tried to put a formula together on how they may put something on sale....such as maybe a reel is being updated....but that is not necessarily the case. The best time for sales are at Christmas. I have always wondered where their stock of a current reels go to when an upgraded model comes out. I have no clue. I have seen the old model of a reel selling at normal price and the next day the new model is out and the older models are nowhere on the site.
