The Cabela's in Owatonna has several Otter fish houses out.

GM in Blaine has the new clam kodiak out.
Both the standard non-insulated (299) and the insulated model (399). They look nice.

Runnings in Hutch has everything out, and I do mean everything. Portables, electronics, augers, rod and reels, and tackle. Hutch really needed this around here to.

Gander in Woodbury has everything out

No Otter stuff there though is there? They had most of it out when I was there Sunday, but it looked like all Clam.

Gander in EP has the new clams out except for the one man's....strikemaster augers and rods are starting to get put out this eve.

Cabelas in Rogers appears to have most everything out. Rods, Augers including Solo motored Strikemasters, houses, etc. For the people that were looking for the Ice Blue noodle rods last year and had a hard time finding them. C's has a bundle of the rods for 7.99 and combos for $15. They also have a nice selection of Jason Mitchell rods as well.

everything is out in pretty much every store from what i've seen the past couple days

Gander in Forest Lake had about half of their stuff out on Tuesday.

I've been stopping by every now and then to see if they have any Jason Mitchell rods out yet. I want to get a 24" Meatstick, but I've only seen the 28" out at other places.

Jason Mitchell does not make a 24 inch Meat stick. Bro makes a 27 inch quick tip.

Actually, I think he has a 24 and 20" Meat Stick this year. I want to pick up the 20".

I was looking at the website for that sporting goods store in Onamia (starts with an R). They have a 24" one available for order. Maybe it's a typo, but if it exists, I'd like one.

Interesting. I see that on the R site, but not listed on Jason Mitchell's site.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I thought I was going crazy when I couldn't find it on the JM site. I confirmed my sanity with the R site, that was a close one.

The JM rods have been shipping in this week, most GM stores should have them now. We got them here in Fargo at Gander this week. Unfortunately we have not seen the JM combo's yet.

TIP: Take a look at the GM break down shotgun case, as a case for your more travel and transport sensitive ice rods, like the MeatSticks and the Bro Rod Quick-tips. If you got guns and rods, even sensitive electronics...here ya go, multi-purpose use makes it a far better deal in the end.

6 combo's will go in them easily, and they are a hard case with egg crate insides to really protect your valuable rod/reels from damage in transit. Sharp looking case too. $79
