Does anybody know what happened with them anywhere you use to be able to by there rods doesnt have any or dont even show any at all then the ones they do have is on sale. Did they go out of business or what.

I've wondered this same thing. I Googled them several weeks ago, looking for a rod that I purchased from Academy, and had no luck finding a dealer. Their homepage shows a phone number but I didn't try to call.

I think they did Tacklewharehouse used to carry all there stuff now they have the Fritz cranking rod and thats it and its on sale for like 70 bucks.

I was at Cabelas in Ft. Worth this weekend. They still had a few.

I talked to a dealer he said they did go out of business

I kinda figured they did but wasnt sure.

Looks like their online store is selling rods, sent them an email and will see if they respond back. I just bought a couple of the charter boat rods from Academy down in Houston a few weeks ago.

A few years ago I bought 3 diferent rods by them. The rod I use the most was from the HG42 Series and is a 6ft 8in jigging rod. I love that rod! Just looking to upgrade some reels and have been looking for different rods. I think I'm starting to get wrist and elbow fatigue from round reels. Looking at some low-profile reels.

Well, I never got a response back by email, but I was down in Conroe yesterday for the Toyota Bass Classic and stopped by the Lone star Expo, they did have a booth setup. Plenty of rod inventory, new products and existing, so I'm not sure what's going on.
