Used to be a great place to get off season items. Since BPS has taken over I have noticed few items in there at any big discount..

I had 1 fishing today and looks like he landed exactly 0 fish...My other 4 were between 35 and 50......I should have went with my first picks I had set up 2 weeks ago

Looks really nice

For what it's worth I just got my 3 rods from them, free shipping, and delivered in about 4 days...Seem like nice rods...

I am hearing the hotel is going in there. Across the street is a save a lot store that is moving. So D and R is reportedly taking over that store front when they move out..

I jumped on 3 rods for the free shipping...Was looking at the 7'5" Denny Brauer rod anyway. $60 each was worth trying...

No idea, but those are some great prices on rods..

I will see if I can corner the city manager to confirm tomorrow at work

Solid rumor that on White Creek behind tractor supply. Hotel going in there too...

D and R is supposedly opening a store in Cedar Springs this fall.

Looks like I have an excuse to look for another rod then..lol

As the OP I may have stirred the pot a little on this but did not mean to. I want a rod that will be rigged full time in the boat with a jig on it. I want to be able to flip a jig into cover or pitch a jig a little farther into cover..I am thinking that Dobyns Fury 734 will work. I just got it in December and havent been able to even use it yet. I was just wondering if there may be a better rated rod for a lighter flipping / pitching application. Thanks everyone for their responses..

I am thinking the 734c will work for pitching and flipping in my neck of the woods

I would like to keep the price around $100, not more than $150...I have 2 dobyns rods 733 and 734 but have not had a chance to use them yet. I like the feel of them so far

I have read a lot of the past posts I could find on flipping rods. Living and fishing in Michigan I do not think I would need as heavy of gear as the southern fishermen are used to using. I want to learn to flip and jig fish this year. Last year I was under gunned with a med 7' rod and the 2 jig fish I caught were on back to back casts and both 18". For the Michigan waters and medium sized bass I am likely to encounter what would be a decent dedicated flipping rod. I am 6'2" and fish from a boat most of the time and do have a sit on / stand up kayak. Thanks for any advice....Scott

I sold my Old Town Vapor last year and went with a Pelican Catch 120. Although it is heavier it is a super comfortable sit on kayak and very stable. I have loaded it on my jeep with no issues I prefer to toss it in the back of my truck.

Not sure if this is the right place, but has anyone had issues with online orders from Academy??? I can't get past checkout to place an order online...Their CS wasn't any help, they just told me to call in an order. But if it is a problem on my end or their end I do not know...

Ya'll with local Academy's are killing me

Finally got power and wifi back....going to check my picks next

Need an Academy here in Michigan...

I would bump up the weight in that deep of water. 1/2 oz easily and maybe a bit more..

Agreed on going a bit big on waders. Leaves room for layering and moving. Honestly the best thing is to actually try on the pair you are looking at. I have gone thru many pairs of breathable, stocking foot and boot foot and each company runs a different size. Breathables are fantastic
