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
