We're holding our annual Fred Hall Show Customer Appreciation Sale March 3-7, Wednesday thru Sunday from 10am to 5pm. This is our largest store sales event of the year. While the Fred Hall Show is cancelled this year, our show must go on! The virus is behind us now, based upon WHO changing the PCR testing and how the infections are now counted. So, lets get back to normal!

For those on our mailing list, an email was sent out Sunday. There was a coupon code available on that mailer. During our store sale, for those with a health concern who are concerned about the WuFlu, you can place your order online for store pickup or we'll ship your order, contactless. For those able to attend, you'll receive a $20 gift card for spending over $100 and everyone gets a free reel cover or lure just for dropping by.

Okuma PCH or Daiwa Proteus? I have 3 UC and two PCH and looking for a budget rod. thanks

Sorry, working the sale and didn't catch post. Both are very good series of rods to own. Good construction, in some respects following UC designs with pricing that reflect value and country of origin's labor rates. I say that in contrast to phenix rods which share the import country of origin (china) but try to sell at USA built prices. Not good. UC for the higher end USA produced rods, and Okuma PCH and Daiwa Proteus for imported rods at roughly 2/3 the price. That's reasonable.
