Was at the South Arlington Academy and found a 7'3 ML ethos rod that scanned for $10.87. Went to check out immediately after I found it. Been looking for a budget drop shot set up to hold me over till I can get a drop shot specific rod.

Yeah I've seen posts on other forums or post on here where someomes found a casting or spinning ethos that scans for way less. So when I go to academy I usually try and scan a few rods. so this was the first time I got one to scan for a crazy low price.

Sorry guys it may take some time to come across one. I read about it in Ethos rod reviews on other forums awhile back. Then ever since when I'd make a trip to an Academy for some senkos and trick worms I'd randomly scan a rod or two. I think I lucked out on this one because the rod stood out to me because it was a 7'3 and longer than the rest of the spinning rods. So I was like hmm never seen a 7'3 at this store. I haven't come across one since then. But I still scan a few each time I go.

Well, Y'all got me motivated. I scanned every casting and spinning in killeen, about 70+ rods.... 3 of the last 5 spinning were $18.98... all 7'3" M/L. Not the super low price Y'all got but still saved $40/rod

I saw this on another forum and I have three academy's in driving distance. I scannned and scanned but nothing best, I found in all three stores was a $149 rod for $89 still to expensive for me to buy. I think it is employee driven, if you have stores run by young teenage kids they screw up. ALl three of the stores I visited had older middle aged men and women who pay attention to details more. also you can limit your searches to thursday afternoons that is when they do price changes. I got that answer from all three stores.
