Academy hasn't had a rod riot around here in years.

Now, a few years back they did clear out all of their Made in the USA Falcon Bucoo's to make room for the new SR series.
Last year they cleared out the Ethos blue rods (they are great; and you can still find some with the sale price from last year)

If you are willing to look through their rods and scan the prices I can almost guarantee you will find some that ring up less than marked.

+1

Went yesterday to get a rod and reel for crappie fishing
Found a H20 mettle 10 bearing spinning combo that was marked and scanned for $30 less than the others

Some of the blue Ethos spinning and baitcasting rods were still marked at the 4-6 months ago sale price

Be sure the look at their online clearance items also

I've been to a few Academy stores that looked like they had several Rod Riot events and never restocked.

Academy isn't what it used to be...went in for some black and blue zoom lizards...didn't have any and according to the employee stocking the shelves they don't carry them...ended up finding some at Walmart of all places...

The Academy I shop...the employees get 1st pick and, either, place them on the top shelf, hidden from customers, or place them behind the customer service counter, so they can buy them, later.
