re: Think I just got an amazing deal

Academy does not even sell Sustains or Stellas: (lol)

Shimano Sustain Spinning Reels FG

Offering the latest and most advanced features Shimano has to offer, the Shimano Sustain Spinning Reels also feature a sleek, new look that will stand the test of time.

$329.99 to $349.99

The one in Houma does.....

It blew my mind at first. I know stella is a $700 reel, but when I saw sustain, I couldnt remember if the next level below stella was it , the saros, or the symetre. All the names get mixed up to me. I thought it was better than the stradic ci4 in front of it. I asked to see it and could tell it was a higher quality reel. Double checked the box and asked for two. I wasn't even there to buy anything and I figured my wife would be pissed if I bought more reels. She asked why I didn't buy more. I went back with the intention of buying every one they had and selling on Ebay or trying to return to Cabelas or something I got the two I need for myself at least

I really wish this was happening in Covington. I would love a Sustain to add to the inventory

Pretty funny that your map happens to be exactly on the last location that I fished

i called academy in gulfport and they said they don't have any and i was the 5th person that has called about them today.

so... which one(s) of you was it? haha.

eta: called a few more stores and they said they aren't carrying them but limited stores are. someone done fricked up or this is a different version of the reel. heading to laplace tonight from ms gulf coast i reckon i'll stop in slidell and give it a shot.

Ill be heading to that one in probably 15-20 minutes, I'll post if they're there.

Nothing at the Covington. They don't have anything past the Stradic. Dammit.

I would call.....I did yesterday and they told me it was a computer error.
