Kmart are clearing out their Abu Garcia "Pink Stick" rod and reel combos.
These came out about a year ago and part of the proceeds went to the McGrath Foundation.

There are at least 3 varieties:
* 6'6 spinning combo
* 7' spinning combo
* 6'6 boat combo

The rods are average quality with matching reels - rod and reel are pink.

These were originally priced up to $99.99 each but were reduced on clearance to $15 on Sunday and $5 on Monday.

Perfect for the ladies or the man not worried about using a pink rod/reel…

For $5 you can't possibly buy a rod/reel combo of this quality - sure there are better combos available, but at this price it just won't happen.

Abu make decent reels - better IMHO than Shakespeare and the other Kmart/Big W level stuff…

I suspect a number of fishos have already caught onto these discounts so your local Kmart might already be sold out….

I got the last one at Hornsby NSW yesterday.

Notes:
- There were no signs advertising these discounts - the combos are still tagged at $50+ but scan at $5
- If you scan the barcode near the reel it sometimes comes up with the original price - scan the one at the top of the rod for the $5 price to always appear. The description on both scans is identical but the barcode must be slightly different…

  • DeviousD on 21/10/2011 - 17:20

  • imohawki on 21/10/2011 - 18:24

      I think you've gotten confused about your pink sticks. The K-Mart one would be 7 foot long and used for catching fish, you might want to use your 7 incher for a different species

        lol! oh lord im an idiot! yes it was 7 feet.. the 7incher was from sexyland ;)

  • SydStrand on 21/10/2011 - 18:27

    Pink Stick Fishing Rods - I'm sure there's a sexual innuendo to be found in here somewhere…

  • mr_max_powers on 21/10/2011 - 20:28

    None at Plenty Valley, Vic.

  • nospirit on 21/10/2011 - 20:44

    None at Chatswood, NSW

  • Aydin on 21/10/2011 - 21:29

    Kmart Campbellfield has a few but they all scan at $59. Only one barcode on sticks to scan.

    • moooooooo on 22/10/2011 - 14:58

      Confirmed. If you look closely, staff appear to have cut off the top barcode from the sticks. The pink label at the top of the rod is cut unevenly on them all so they're obviously not discounting at campbellfield.

  • figarow on 21/10/2011 - 22:09

    So is this a barcode mistake at the ops store only?

    • imohawki on 21/10/2011 - 22:17

      The barcode hanging off the rod is scanning at $15 at werribee store but the one on the bottom of the rod on the plastic is scanning at $59.

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 22/10/2011 - 10:01

      Hardly - there are Kmarts in several states with the same thing…

      • discostuuuuu on 22/10/2011 - 22:18

        So we have Hornsby and Chadstone. Any others confirmed?

        • GreatWhiteHunter on 23/10/2011 - 07:59

          North Rocks and Castle Hill - both now sold out…
          Werribee plaza @ $15

          A number of Kmarts have the rods but have cutoff the top cheaper barcode…

  • ibnsomeone on 21/10/2011 - 23:42

    Picked one up at Chadstone tonight, thanks

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 22/10/2011 - 00:41

    OK looks like we have a mixed bag here of $5 and $15 rods - as well as some without the top barcode still at full price…

    seems like the 'top' is cheaper than the 'bottom' price…hmmm

  • Ronson on 22/10/2011 - 11:34

    Are the rods one or two piece??

  • TIKS on 22/10/2011 - 13:38

    None at Ballarat

  • z00m on 22/10/2011 - 14:43

    None at Tuggeranong ACT. They have them at Belconnen but the rods only have the one barcode at the bottom and it scans at $59.00. Great deal though OP well done. Loving the fishing deals lately on ozbargain, keep them coming.

  • wallet72 on 22/10/2011 - 15:33

    Caloundra Kmart has cut off the cheap barcode, the rods are scanning at $59 now.

  • JepunK on 22/10/2011 - 19:00

    Yeah checked Kmart at Parramatta NSW…only bottom barcodes that scans $59…I got a feeling Kmart reps are trawling through Ozbargain now….lol bastards….

  • discostuuuuu on 22/10/2011 - 20:30
