okotoks crappy tire,, sturgeon spinning rod
 

so dropped into okotoks crappy tire today and some good clearance stuff;

Ugly Stik Tiger heavy spinning rod $42
Cortland lines $24-$40 for those wanting to get into fly fishing but on a budget
Fenwick Flyline $14
Dragonfly rods 4 pc 7wt $79
TFO 4/5wt rod/reel $178 4 pc
Fenwick light action spin rod $42
Okuma Fina light tackle spinning reels $37
Flotation suit full body, didn't check sizes $199
Flotation Jackets forgot price
and then for those not wanting to blow too much cash on a kids rod, a bunch of those were on sale too (if your creative you can break them down into decent ice rods)
Almost forgot, okotoks have the Helix 5 lowrance on for 50% off and a bunch of other fish finders off to really good prices for the ill afforded.
that's all I remember for today
oh wait, spinner igs and some Williams lures too
Shawnessy is going to have a blowout on lures, not sure when but guy figures pretty soon.
Abu Garcia Ambassadeur level wind are $49

High river has a better selection. The one here in town is really poor.

More great Clearance deals at Shawnessy;

Fishpond duffles on for $50 for medium
a $400 regular large duffle on for $150
$150 flyvest also by fishpond $70
Chest pack by fishpond I think was $25
5 packs of lucky strike mixed spoons $12.50
some higher end rods like clarus at really ice prices
and other stuff like ice augers, though have seen better prices

I've never been in the High River store. I will say that the Okotoks stock of hunting and fishing gear is miles better than it was a few years ago. Not much higher end gear, but hey, that's not their clientele. You want that south of Calgary, you go to Flies Etc. Still, you can get a TFO fly rod and some decent ammo at Crappy Tire. Not bad.

The Okuma Fina 30 reels are on for $25 here in Sherwood Park. I managed to get a Stradic Ci4+ 2500 at the Windermere location for $120. It was the last one they had and they were not going to be carrying them anymore, so they gave me a deal.

there are pretty good clearance deals on right now for those low on budget
