Wonder why academy thought they needed to mark them down at such an extreme percentage? Seems like they still would've sold like hotcakes at 50-60% off.
Apparently when they have an item that they have trouble moving they'll mark it down in the hopes of getting rid of old stock, if that doesn't work then they mark it WAYYYY down just to get rid of them which is probably what happened here. If you catch it right Academy can have some pretty insane clearance bargains.
Same goes for some reels I bought a couple months ago. Academy had $599.99 Shimano Antares in left handed models that sat on shelves for years, they marked them down to $359.99 for a few months and still didn't sell. Then they dropped them to $99.99 each and I bought 7 of them.

dick ! Still hate you for that.
BTW, Heritage still makes and sells the 14' Angler. It's not a discontinued model. Academy just isn't selling them anymore which makes this deal i got so much stranger.

I remember when you talked about that deal, and getting pissed. Time hasn't healed the wound.
But yes, academy cycles through their different outdoor categories every few months and basically gives away the old inventory to get the new stuff in. I knocked out about 8 xmas gifts in the clearance rod section. You just have to be quick, I hesitated on a couple rods to use as knock arounds and when I went back the next day all 20 were gone.
