Pacific Net and Twine in Parksville, and Harbour Chandler in Nanaimo have tons of HMX, 10.5 rods....I believe they are from 2 years ago, they have the tan HMX on the brown rod, as opposed to the new ones that have grey HMX on the gray/green rod. They are selling them for around $89.00 at both places....I have one of them and it worked well on my first time out.
