Damien,
What part are you going to?
I was in NYC a couple of months ago. I was't particularly looking for rods. NYC isn't very well served for tackle shops, though we did find a few.

no problem Damien - it's a huge store - I'm just back from Nebraska after 8 weeks and called in at Cabelas and Scheels about 3 - 4 times a week. Posted home 4 huge boxes of rapalas, braid, abu ambassadeur baitcast reels, storm lures etc. Less than half the price of here - we're being ripped off big time.

How can Rapalas which are made in Galway, be cheaper in the US than they are here ??!

Most US Penn rods are geared for game fishing. But you might want to look at the rods in e bays saltwater segment to give you an idea of what is available. The lighter Penn IGFA international range are superb for our waters. Direct link. Drill down further by searching under Penn:-

Captain Harry's in Miami has a great selection but again mainly for game. Its well worth getting his catalogue as you will see things there you never knew were available (and some bits that you can only dream of).

Damien.
This is a top notch rod. I had a very similar one but the IGFA standard. He has cut down this one to 56" so that would put me off. The butt is aluminium. Brent
