Are Black Friday fishing rod deals worth it?
Fishing rods are subjected to sales throughout the year, with many rods seeing discounts depending on the season and the type of angling they are designed for. However, Black Friday often sees even sharper discounts than you would usually see and its often a blanket discount incorporating lots of styles of rods, so if you want the best price for a certain rod, it's well worth checking out the prices on Black Friday.
