OnthePotomac Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 In the Christmas flyer I just received it appears that the BPS Carbonlite rods have turned white. Anyone know for sure? Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted November 19, 2014 Super User Posted November 19, 2014 I saw the same thing. They've changed the JM Carbonlite reels from black to white as well.... yuck........ Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted November 19, 2014 Super User Posted November 19, 2014 I am looking at the flyer and I am seeing white reels but no white rods. On page 17 of the flyer, it shows the Carbonlite rod. Still charcoal gray, or black. Hootie Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 19, 2014 Super User Posted November 19, 2014 Wondering same thing. Scrubbing their site and they have all the normal Carbonlites, but all are designated as Carbonlite CL, while the new white models are just "Carbonlite". And online they only have the spinning version of the new white rods. Unless they just renamed the material, it is now "RT 4 Graphite"... Hopefully they are as light as the CL models. Quote
I.rar Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Hm. I may have to pick up the ML casting rod when they are on sale/clearance. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 19, 2014 Super User Posted November 19, 2014 Hm. I may have to pick up the ML casting rod when they are on sale/clearance. Love mine. 6'6" model. Perfect paired with a Chronarch 50e. Have to get my hands on the new ones, they look like they'll pair well color-wise, but I really like the carbon colored models. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Um. I was checking what appears to be the actual BPS Black Friday flyer... Carbonlites (black) are going to be going for $69.97. If true, I'll be buying... Here's the link, assuming legit. http://www.theblackfriday.com/ads/BassPro.com/black-friday/BassPro.com-black-friday-ad.php?pn=33 Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 I just checked the BPS website - CarbonLite rods & reels were charcoal, though I swear I saw them in white a week or so ago. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Just received my "Christmas Sale" catalog from BPS. The Carbonlites are shown in white. One can only wonder why BPS is trying to fix something that isn't broken. 2 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 I just checked the BPS website - CarbonLite rods & reels were charcoal, though I swear I saw them in white a week or so ago. In that Black Friday flyer I linked to, it has the NEW "white" Carbonlite reel on sale... Page 2: http://www.theblackfriday.com/ads/BassPro.com/black-friday/BassPro.com-black-friday-ad.php?pn=2 Quote

Currently the only white Carbonlite is the spinning model: http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Johnny-Morris-CarbonLite-Series-Spinning-Rods/product/1406210641364/ Quote

Local tackle shop is a BPS outlet and they have had them for a while now. Quote

Local tackle shop is a BPS outlet and they have had them for a while now. Correct. See my post above... The white reel is on the Black Friday sale. I was referring specifically to the rods, though I didn't mention it in the reply as I did above. Quote

Super User Darren. Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 my mistake It's all good I'm just a little perplexed as to why BPS is doing this. Hopefully there will be two lines of Carbonlite. The white and the black Carbonlite "CL" rods... Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 That's a great price on that rod, as far as color changes, BPS, always, follows color trends on reels, rods, that's just the way it's been for a long time, personally I dislike white rods, orange rods, yellow rods ( not lamiglas ) .. Rant over... Quote
CarolinaBoy4Life Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I'm hoping they stick with the charcoal gray rod's and have a seperate rod line up for the white rod's. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I think the Carbonlite's are the nicest looking rod I own. Will be scooping up at least one rod and reel for those sale prices. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 20, 2014 Super User Posted November 20, 2014 Yessirree, the deals are legit! Black Friday flyer just arrived today! Quote
Texas bassman Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 THEY ARE WHITE. THEY FEEL A LITTLE LIGHTER AND THEYRE ALL MICROGUIDE ONES. ATLEAST THE ONES I GOT TO SEE IN THE STORE. SOME NEW NAME FOR THE GRAPHITE AND S SPIRAL CARBON CORE. SOMETHING LIKE A SKRIM FOR BETTER STRENGTH. THE GUIDES LOOK LIKE THE ONES ON A ST.CRIOX RAGE ROD AND THEY HAVE A LINE INDICATOR ON THE BUT KINDA LIKE THE ONE THAT THE NEW QUANTUM SMOKES HAVE Quote
