It's very rare that we write about deals, but every once in a while, one comes along that's worth posting about. If you're in the market for a good two-hander spey or switch rod that won't break the bank, especially for those who are taking their first steps into the world of two-handers, Allen's well-received Olympic series of rods have been a good option since they were introduced in late 2011. At their normal price of $299-$319, these rods offer a great value. Currently, Allen is offering these rods at 40% off, making it even easier to take the plunge.

The reason for the move, some will be pleased to hear, is that Allen is moving the Olympic -- along with a number of other products -- from overseas to U.S.-based production. As part of preparation for the move, Allen is clearing out existing inventory.

If, as mentioned, you're looking to take the leap into the world of two-handed rods or are looking for a quality rod without paying premium prices, head over to Allen Fly Fishing an have a look at the Olympic series.
