Model years for fishing rods??

[Da Chief]

I took my pot money from last weekend up to BassPro on the north side of
Atl. I was going to buy the Allstar spinnerbait rod I've been eyeing. Dang
it! 65 miles round trip and there was only a few rods left on the rack, none
of them the SBR2. Seems BP put them on sale to clear the shelf. Of course
the price reduction was an "unadvertised sale". Word is they're making room
for the 2004 models which will be on the shelf before Christmas. I've never
heard of such a thing! :(

Yep,

Often times, it's not much of a change. They might change the style of eyes or the thread colors,
other times it's more drastic, blank or handle changes. But there's definite model years.

Galyan's did the same thing with Loomis rods. The graphics changed. I picked
up a few for half price.
