jtesch Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Local Dicks by me have Crucials and Veritas on clearance. Crucials are at $120 + 25% off for a $90 total. And they have several models including a "jerk bait" spinning rod with my name on it. Great rod for that price with their warranty, can't go wrong. Veritas worked out to like $65 Quote
youngangler274 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 The one by me has the same deals. Also the one local to me has the lew's speed spool laser mg combo on clearance for 69.95 + 25% off. So they come out to like 55 bucks a piece. The reel alone goes for like $80 bucks normally. Needless to say I bought 3 of the combos. Quote

But, that is a good deal as the rod is an okay rod. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted July 13, 2014 Super User Posted July 13, 2014 The Crucials are very good rods, but the at that price it is great! Quote
Super User Darren. Posted July 13, 2014 Super User Posted July 13, 2014 Our local DSGs are in midst of a huge clearance, but I have never seen a Crucial in-store. Online yes... I'll have to check again to see if they brought any in-store. Finger's crossed. Quote
kikstand454 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Yup. I got a 7'11" veritas flipping rod for $67. Quote
raoka Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 been trying to find the 7'2" Medium power drop shot crucial...so far no luck in the new england area...haha Quote
wngan9447 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 been trying to find the 7'2" Medium power drop shot crucial...so far no luck in the new england area...haha I have a 7-2 MH and I live in boston. Let me know if you're interested. I'm going crucial hunting today. Thanks to OP for letting us know about the additional % off. Quote
Fishing Cop Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Yup. I got a 7'11" veritas flipping rod for $67. Me too and a 7' Med for 52.48 Quote
jtesch Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Quick update, stopped at another area Dicks ( I have several by me) and same deals plus they had a couple of St. croix Rage's on clearance for around the same as the Crucials. I didn't bother looking closely as I'm not a big Rage fan Quote
cbass12 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 We have 3 stores in our area on the KS side and the only crucial I found was a 7'2" MH spinning rod. They don't carry the rage. I wanted a 7'1" ML Crucial and the only store that has them was Basspro's website. I had to pay full price online but luckily they told me they would give me a refund of $30 when it arrives due to Cabelas having them on clearance for $129. Was really surprised that they would price match. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted July 13, 2014 Super User Posted July 13, 2014 Just scored a 7'2" MHXF casting Crucial for $89. Cheers to you, OP!! Quote
jtesch Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Just scored a 7'2" MHXF casting Crucial for $89. Cheers to you, OP!! Happy to be of service. If you think about it, one of the best deals ever. Your buying from Dicks so no questions as to the lifetime warranty being good and your getting a great rod for $90 and if you break it a year from now you'll get a better rod (I think) and I've read that the new Crucials will only have a one year warranty so your getting the last of a great warranty also Quote
jtesch Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Just scored a 7'2" MHXF casting Crucial for $89. Cheers to you, OP!! By the way, I have 2 of those rods and they are great. I use them for all kinds of medium weight bottom contact stuff and for pitching jigs in the 1/2oz range. They have several at my local Dicks and I may jump on a couple more just to stick away. I kind of think they are in between medium and medium heavy but rod ratings are all over the place so it's hard to say but I can tell you it will handle a big bass Quote

Just got out and gave it a whirl and she is a great rod for sure. Very fast and light! Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted July 13, 2014 Super User Posted July 13, 2014 BTW there was one left- 7'11" MHXF pitching rod. In West Springfield MA. No mention of the sale anywhere but they rang up sale'd alright! Quote
jtesch Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 I've played with that one a dozen times and just can't pull the trigger. Northern Illinois isn't exactly a flipping paradise but for $90----------------/ Quote
wngan9447 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Yeah I am really stoked. Just got out and gave it a whirl and she is a great rod for sure. Very fast and light!Haha. Had the same idea. I just picked up a 6'-10" casting rod. Took it for a test drive right away. The cashier took my $10 survey coupon too. $79 for a crucial is awesome. Quote
jtesch Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 I guess it's to late to ask for a finders fee from you all 3 Quote

Northern Illinois isn't exactly a flipping paradise but for $90----------------/ Yeah mine was for frogs and jigs so it was a thought, but man... 7'11" is just too much. The only flippin' I do is on the BBQ Quote
dam0007 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 been trying to find the 7'2" Medium power drop shot crucial...so far no luck in the new england area...haha me 2!!!! Had the GM of the Milford CT store do a full search in system none of the stores have em neither does the main warehouse of their .com orders. Only ones you will be able to find are the worm and jig, crank rod, and spinner bait. All in bait casting. Unless someone returns one were s.o.l 1 Quote

jtesch Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Don't go by their computer inventory cause it's not even close to right Quote
Super User Dan: Posted July 14, 2014 Super User Posted July 14, 2014 If you are looking for specific models, PM me and I will see if I can find what you're looking for near you. Look for the older model Curados also. They are $99.97 right now with an additional 25% off which makes them right around $75...that's an awesome deal. Also, check out the Field and Stream Tec Spec Elite rods. They aren't name brand but they are clearance +25% off and they are great rods for the price. All rods, reels, and combos that are clearance (.97 or .47 endings) should be 25% off the ticketed clearance price. Quote
BassVoodoo Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Need your assistance gentleman.....looking at the crucial 6' 8" MH F...for topwater, spinnerbaits and possibly dock skipping jigs. Just looking for some input on choosing the topwater version or the jig/worm version (which is XF). Quote
