ChiCityBasser Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Looks like Cabelas will be coming out with a new line of XML rods soon cause the casting models are now on clearance starting at $29.99 for a rod that is normally $139. Check this out: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0053033122637a&navCount=0&podId=0053033&parentId=cat21428&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=cat21406_feat&catalogCode=9IS&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat21428&hasJS=true Great way to pick up a more than decent rod at a great price. Since right now it's probably just an online special I will order mine and have it shipped to the store. Sometimes that baitmonkey just gets the best of you Quote
Cire Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks for the heads-up! I have a couple and really like these rods. Now I will have to pick up a couple more. Eric Quote

Eric Yeah I think I will have to pick up a couple as well with one being on of the technique specific rods and a 7ft MH as well. Still less than $100 for 2 great rods Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted June 25, 2009 Super User Posted June 25, 2009 LOL....and I just bought the 6'3" spinning rod not long ago for $70 and thought it was a decent deal. Now it's $30!! I'm going to stop in at the local Cabela's tomorrow after work and see what they have on hand. Thats a heckuva deal for that price!! Quote
Quitlimpin Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I've got 3 customs built on XML blanks that are pretty dang good. If I thought I could ****** up a few and get away with it i'd go for it. I think the baitmonkey has finally met his match with my old lady. Quote

OIFBasser Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks for the heads up. Is that rod really worth $140, or are Cableas rods like BPS' rod? You know the kind you don't pay full price for. Quote

You know the kind you don't pay full price for. Yeah I think the rod is worth the $140 original asking price and they usually go on sale when they are bringing out and updated model. Kinda like the Cabelas XMLTi rods which normally are $190 but are also on clearance. You can't beat the price now though to get one or two Quote
OIFBasser Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I bought the 6'2" M baitcast rod for $56 shipped. It is still a great deal. Thanks again. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted June 26, 2009 Super User Posted June 26, 2009 Darnet, I was at my local cabela's and while they didn't have those rods on sale, there were a bunch of lucky crafts discounted as low as $5.69. Selected rapala lures were also well discounted. Thanks for the heads up. Quote
Dave T. Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 That is a great deal on those rods. I hope that do the same promo on their spinning rods. Quote
LAO162 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I think this is a horrible situation... No one should buy them so that they are still on discount into August. August is when my promise not to buy more fishing gear expires ;D ;D ;D I've only had my XMLTi a few weeks, but I'm very pleased with it. Quote
Guest beowulfx71 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Do any of the XML or the Fish eagle II casting rods have a mod-fast tip? Im looking for a shallow crank/topwater/jerbait rod. Quote
FishDontLikeMe1301600221 Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 talk about a steal...id jump on this but i just ordered some falcon bucoos and if the wife sees ups dropn off more "long" tubes shell hang me haha. Quote
michaelkim_9582 Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 wow........ the sales got the best of me..... I just bought 3 rods and it costed me 150.92. Normally the rods would have costed me around 480 bucks. so I'm pretty dang happy. thanks for the heads up!!!! Quote
shootermcbob Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I just purchased two of their split grip models at the store in Wheeling. One was 29.99 and the other was 39.99. Two rods for 74.00 and change. I put the items in the "cart" on their website, then printed that page showing the prices. The folks in the store usually don't have a clue about what is on the website. The cashier looked at me kinda funny when I told her the 139.00 rod was on website for 29.00. She called over a supv. and the supv. looked at my sheet, and said ring them at those prices. The supervisor then asked if she could have my copy so she could alert the other front end people. Quote
cyph3r Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 i read that you can fish them for 60 days for free, has anyone done that? i was thinking of giving them a try especially if i can return them without hassle. Quote
diver_sniper Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I was pretty excited about this deal too. Me and a buddy ordered together, 4 rods and 4 reels . Before sale price: $880. After the sale price $260. I'm still having a hard time believing it. The reels we got also had a nice sale price http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0043165121435a&navCount=13&podId=0043165&parentId=cat601360&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat21404-cat21406-cat601360&catalogCode=9IS&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat601360&hasJS=true Here's what I'm wondering though. Anyone know what company makes the blanks for these rods? Quote

ChiCityBasser Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 Just ordered my first 1pc rod which is the XML 6'6" Model:C66WJ Worm/Jig rod which is normally $139 but with in store pickup now $32.09 which is a steal. Gotta get myself one of the 7ft 2pc either MH or H rods and then the baitmonkey will be off my back at under $100 Quote
Cire Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Just picked up my pitching and spinner bait rods that I had delivered to the local store. These will be my first split grip rods that I will try, can't wait. An interesting note, the packing job they do even for the in-store pickup is sweet. The two rods were in a 7.5 foot long 6 inch diameter tube with foam rings holding them on the inside and the rods came inside a XML labeled individual rod bag. When you buy from the store, you don't even get the bag!?!?!?!? Eric Quote

Eric The last time I ordered a 2pc rod and had it shipped to the store it was packaged the exact same way and the clerks asked if I wanted to keep the shipping tube also. I didn't keep the shipping tube but I also had this latest purchase shipped to the store and only paid the $2.09 in taxes but no shipping fees. Quote
21farms Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 i read that you can fish them for 60 days for free, has anyone done that? i was thinking of giving them a try especially if i can return them without hassle. yes, i have done that. i fished an XMLti flipping stick for over 60 days actually and returned it with no problems. to return it, all you have to do is pack it back in same shipping tube it came in, slap the prepaid return shipping label on it and drop it off at UPS. they will deduct $7.50 from your refund for the return shipping (cheap!). by the way, i just received my XMLti dropshot spinning rod a few days ago and IT IS SWEET!

These are super nice rods for the money Quote
