Hi there TubeDude,
I think the 'half-off' term related to the person that would potentially be utilizing the tube not the donut itself. ha ha Couldn't resist. I'll stifle myself as best I can!
As you say, those bargins kicking off the season are sometimes the best. I don't like the thought of getting even a tried and true model until I think that I have some small idea as to what might be avaliable in a couple of months after purchase/use.
You would think that the fishing shows would have really good deals on some of the standard leading manufacturers/models but that doesn't seem to be quite so. I'm pretty much checking out the sponsors here on BFT with some success.
