Unfortunately, fishing tackle is now marketed like cars and clothes. Monday we were in Cabela's and noted that the XMLti rods have been replaced by a new super "Platinum" rod. I've got quite a few Cabela's rods and all have been bought for half price or less when they are closed out or put in the Bargain Cave. The XMLti model has been reduced from $200 to around $120 (if I remember correctly).
I should mention that yesterday the bass were not roaming the shallows as they were Tuesday. I did catch a few in open water, but most came out of willow bushes. They were still very shallow, 3' or less. I did get 12 fish before the rain and wind hit in the afternoon, and they ran up to a bit over 15".
