FYI Bionic Blades at Bass Pro Shops

If you are looking for a good, middle of the road, rod the Bionic Blades at Bass pro are on sale for $54 down from $79. Thats a GREAT price for that quality rod. I have used BBs for years and I am happy with how they perform for the price.

Looks like they cheapened them up a bit. Went from cork handles to foam, no more Fuji guides I have one that is about 10 years old

Yeah one of the reviews says its made a little cheaper, but the price is nice.

Good stuff...I have one that I like a lot. The only problem is that I bought one that was too short...shoulda got a longer one. It's a still a great rod.

I like mine. (There she is last summer catching fish)

Beyond being a nice working pole (nice and light, well balanced,responsive, strong etc), it's actually a beautiful looking pole; with the black, burgandy and gold.

And of course, can't go wrong with BPS's return policy. I accidently snapped off the top in the door last summer while heading out, and they exchanged it free of charge, no questions asked, the same day.

They also have the Extreme series rods on sale for $70 down from $100. Just picked up a couple more. They also are very good rods for the money...
