When you say they go on sale ... how much does an on-sale combo run? I might go with a 3000 since I also fish braid. I'm looking at a price of $130 for a combo right now.

I have caught 1000's of fish on my 2000 with 15lb Braid. It's my favorite reel. I have it on a 6'6 falcon boo cu rod. Perfect match. I caught a 25 lb red on it a month ago and that little reel kicked its arse. Mostly fish specks and will outcast everyone. Great for bass and a spinner bait.

There $75 on amazon.

Don't waist your money on the combo. The reels are great but the rods that come with them are trash.

West Marine and Academy run most frequent sales. The $130 regardless price is usually $100-$120. Sometimes Academy f's up and you can get combo for $80. The only way to really know is to go in store, find a combo, and price check at a scanner.

BTW- Academy seems to do this across the board. Last week I picked up $50 and $60 Columbia PFG gear on their regular racks for $9 and $14 each. They seem to have a pretty glitchy system.
