Yeah..... but we got maple syrup, bacon and beer covered from soup to nuts............... smile
You could get that 10ft rod from mullarkeys...shipping to my address according to them is only about CDN$13. But watch out for custom fees...that could come as a surprise sometimes.
Still, I think the rod I suggest to you is a better buy...Limited Lifetime Warranty sums it up. Don't think about the now...but plan for the future. What happens if you snap this rod? Shimano has a great warranty system and they usually just send you a new rod. It's a bit more money, but you get a great product with a great warranty.
The Shimano Clarus rod is 13 ft and breaks down to 4 sections and it's got a bit of backbone with a fairly fast tip. I found one at the Crappy Tire in Barrie and got it on a price match. Some CTC stores are set up for a more complete fishing inventory, the store in Barries South end has a very large fishing dept. I trot in with a web printout from Lebaron, Sail or Flaherty's, they give me the price plus 10% of the price in CTC money. Better than a sharp stick in the eye, Eh!
Clarus CSS-130ML4B 13’0” IM8 is $103 at lebaron so I wound up paying $93
Convergence CVSL126L2B 12’6” (4-8 lb) 2 piece is $83 at lebaron I know both CTC stores in Barrie have several. It's not a bad rod for the money (IM7)
If you can get the price match the extra 9 or $10 in CTC money helps and shipping isn't required

This is awesome! Some solid deals for sure. Unfortunately, I've never seen any of these at my local CT stores... it's mostly the "$50 Canadian Tire Specials" if you know what I'm talking about lol... not too great for fishing gear
I was surprised that two stores in Barrie had some float rods. I had trouble finding a lower priced float rod in the 12-13 ft range and I did try Tromblay's in Orillia, Epps, Sail, Lebaron and BassPro. They had tons of 9'6" and 10'6" rods
