Here is what you missed:

$80 Rod:
TXS Bass Spinning Rod

$60
TXS Spinning Rods

Other than one little word, I didn't see any difference except under the BASS rods, one rod that is offered that is sold out under the regular $60 listings. That rod is heavier though as it is rated for up to 1 1/2 oz. lures...

The TXS XII is for the angler who likes Carolina or Slug-Go type fishing. the 7' rod is rated for up to 1-1/2 oz. lures.

[font=Trebuchet MS]It pays to look at the BPS and Cabelas sale catalogs and their bargain bins on-line to make sure you're not missing out on any special promotions. Also, don't forget that http://www.tacklewarehouse.com will match anyone's price and give you free FedEx shipping. :) [/font]

I think they are the same rods except one is advertised with bass and the other is not, i just read everything and they do the same jobs and have the same materials.
