    A braid bargain

    Went to Ananaconda today and had a win.
    My old "war horse" and favorite reel,a Shakspheare Sigma 080 aproaching 30 years old needed a re-spool due to a few really bad birds nests and casting snap offs.(new leader knot has fexed both issues).
    I wanted to load it with 20lb braid as my Penn 950SS has 60lb braid,there is still plenty on good braid left on the Sigma,will be going on a smaller reel.
    Anaconda had 40% off fishing line.
    I grabed a 300yd roll of Finns Spectra braid $73 shelf price.
    Head to the counter,pimply faced young girl couldnt get it to scan at all,manually put the numbers in and said $62 please.
    I told here that cant be correct as its 40% off and showed her their cattledog.She fumbled with a calculator for AGES,whilst the que grew longer.This girlies favorite subject wasnt mathmatics.
    In the end she settled upon $24.20 for the braid,around the 60% off mark????
