What happened to the original thread??

Thank You FL!!!

No problem Justin. I'll call and ask if they still have some Shimano Cruxis left at that store.

My phone line was down and computer too all day yesterday and they just fixed it. I guess all the rain shorted out the phone or something.

But as far as the weekly ad for the All Star rods and H20 reel, that sale is already over and ended yesterday at Academy at 10 PM. But the Cruxis will still be on sale till Dec. 5th. That H20 reel though is smooth !! Has 10 ball bearings and it's a super smooth reel. Nice little reel for $24.99 for that sale. I believe it's regular price now though.

Yeah Jim and slickrick, when I went to Academy the other day this guy was reving on me at a light and peeled out twice at two lights. I don't know if he was just showing off or wanted me to race him between the lights. It was a newer car and I said Impala SS. Do those have some power? From what I saw it looked pretty fast.

I didn't want to race him though cause I don't race people on streets anymore and besides there are too many cops around that area and I was just going to Academy which was right down the road and didn't want to have my day ruined by getting pulled over and a ticket for street racing. And besides it's dangerous around other cars.

My friend in Houston was showing off and racing a guy at a light in his supercharged 2003 Corvette ZO6. And some lady cut across the street and got in the way and he lost control of the car to stop from hitting her and crashed his car. They fixed it but still, he could have killed somebody cause that car has some brutal scary horsepower.

Anyways yeah Academy, that H20 reel is sweet !! And the All Star rods not bad for $24.99 too.

Wonder if Academy will have more of these sales.

I hear Academy has these things called rod riots people talk about. What is the deal with that? 1/2 off all the rods or certain rods?

well the older impalas ss's like the 94s have an lt1 vette motor in them and were ok... the newer impala ss's have a 4.8 v8 r 4.3 v8 i forget.. i use to sell these. kind of quick but not really , yes the h20 reel is pretty sweet even at now as a 49 dollar reel, im sure they will hve more sales on these reels and other reels as well.. it fixina be christmas time and all id expect some great deals... the rod riot is basicaly the biggest sale of rods ever. every rod is on sale.. and its based on price.. like dont matter the brand jus deend on the regular price.. like all rods priced from say 99-120 are on sale for like 60 dolars or something i forgt by how muc but it a great deal, last year i got an 8ft ugly stick heavy action for like 40 bucks or so n regular price was 70 i think.. but its a great time to buy ur favorite expensive rod

as a matter of fact it stared today!!! heres the online ad check it out!!! http://www.academy.com/index.php?page=catalog&target=weeklyad&pgNum=4

Thanks rick, I'll maybe go check it out and see what they have. I have heard people talk about the rod riot and didn't know what it was about. Cool deal. Thanks.

I wonder if this rod riot includes rods already on sale?

For instance the Team All Star rods that were regularly $199 are at Academy for $79. The Team All Star Trout/Redfish rod looked like a pretty decent rod. And then they have the Platinum All Star rods at Academy that were regularly $199 for $89. I think my Academy has only the P783, P785, P786 and P845 in those if I remember the model numbers correctly. So I don't know if those rods apply to the rod riot and you could get them even cheaper than $79 and $89.

Yeah the H20 reel is a sweet reel and ultra smooth too.

Yeah this car was a newer Impala SS. And he was reving when I was next to him at the light and took off screeching out the tires. And then at the next light I could see him turning his head towards me and reving his car again and he took off real fast like he wanted a race or something. I would have raced him but I was not in the mood to race anybody plus I was almost at Academy and I would have missed my turn if I raced him all the way to the next light. His car seemed pretty quick but all I saw was it said Impala SS.

yea i dont think i woulda waisted my time or gas on him either,, ive always said," Just becuz u drive ur car fast...doesnt meen ur car is fast"..i knew i was missng a saying in my Sig
