They will only price match LeBaron? What about Bass Pro. CT's sale price is LeBaron's regular price, so you don't have to wait for CT to have a sale, just go to LeBaron. More CT around and probably closer. 10% is good most purchases only give you 3%.

I don't understand your point, CTC will price match any Brick and Mortar store that's relatively close by. I've price matched LeBaron and Sail with no problem

I try and play fair in that this week I bought an 8.5 ft Convergence from LeBaron because I was there and they spent time with me. If I take a man's time I'll buy the product from him, it's the honourable thing to do IMO.

Yesterday I bought some fluorocarbon line CTC wanted 10.95, LeBaron was 9.45 so I save 1.50 and got $1 in CTC money.

Last week I bought a rod at Crappy Tire, CTC's price was 79.95 but they price matched sail for 54.95 and gave me $6.50 extra CTC money.

I stopped by Sail and was so impressed by their customer service I think i'd be inclined to shop there whenever possible. Night and day difference between retailers. There were 3 employees at sail fishing and they all stood out as really giving a damn. I had bough a reel at Lebaron but they didn't have the line I wanted. I bought it at Sail and they put it on for me. I told the guy that I'd take it home because I wanted to put a mono backer on and he said,"no problem and did it for me. That's service!

Just an FYI. The Convergence 8.5 ft medium (8-12lb) is 83.36 at lebaron
