Went to BPS last night to pick up a couple things from the spring fishing sale. I checked out the Carbon Lite rods and I have to say they feel pretty good. And for the price it's hard to beat especially when they're on sale for $69. May be worth getting one and trying out. My buddy was wanting me to get him some rattle baits for the upcoming Guntersville trip so I figured I would get him some Red Eye Shad since they're a little cheaper than XCaliber One Knockers. Every single peg was empty, not just the popular colors but every color was gone. Amazing what KVD can do for lure sales. All they needed to do was stock some of the extra short #2 triple grips next to the red eye shads and they could have sold a bunch of hooks as well.
