The end of a great line of rods :(

[Micro]

All Star has dropped their American Classic line.  

These were great rods.  Well made, sentitive, super tough, and gorgeous to look at.   I'm gonna miss them.

Did All-Star decide to replace them with the ASR series?

I used to have an arsenal of American Classics, they were my favorite rods until I started to discover the more expensive "better" rods.

I caught a lot of big fish on those sticks and they were an awesome rod for the money, sad to see them go

I just bought a team all star 7' 6" Heavy and it is very impressive

Already off of the website.

I've got a few of the older Classics.  All are crank bait rods.  I really wonder if there was backlash towards the change of the rods color from the original dark grey/maroon to the blue.  It seems the older classics sell well in the aftermarket demanding near new prices but the American Classics don't despite the fact they're basically the same rod, just a different color.

My local Gander Mountain still had some American Classics in stock when I bought my Team All Star.  If your interested in picking one up check Gander Mountain, maybe they will go on sale.
