Friday Morning Jolt: Least Expensive iPad 32GB, $10 Fishing Rod, more

We've found five Editors' Choice deals last night and early this morning that will get your summer off to a great start: sales on both an iPad and Blackberry PlayBook, fishing rods and a cooler, and for those who prefer to avoid the sunlight, an RPG video game that'll keep you busy for hours.

1. 
Top Outdoors Deal
   Gander Mountain Fishing Rod Sale
   Discount: Up to $10 off with an additional $20 mail-in rebate on select models
   Shipping: Free shipping
   Expires: June 2

   Do You Need It?: Memorial Day weekend is the perfect time to hit the lake. But has your fishing gear seen better days? Head over to Gander Mountain and pick up what you'll need. You'll even land up to $10 off several of its fishing rods. Plus, redeem this $20 mail-in rebate to drop prices even further on eight models. We're fond of the pictured Gander Mountain Advantage Downrigger 90" Casting Rod for a sale price of $29.99, which falls to $9.99 after the rebate. With free shipping, that's the lowest total price we could find by $30.

2. 
Top Camping Equipment Deal
   Rubbermaid 75-Quart Durachill Cooler
   Vendor: Lowe's
   Price: $42.97 with free in-store pickup
   Lowest By: $27

   Do You Need It?: Even if you're not headed out on to a lake, chances are there's a BBQ in your future this upcoming holiday weekend. (Note to self: make more ice!) And chances are your fridge won't be able to hold all the beer and leftovers from your backyard cookout. Swing by Lowe's and pick up this Rubbermaid 75-Quart Durachill Cooler for $42.97 and revel in its cooler capacities: it keeps ice frozen up to 5 days at 90°F, features built-in cup holders, a hinged split lid, wheels, and more.

3. Top iPad Deal
   Refurbished Apple iPad 32GB Wi-Fi Tablet
   Vendor: CowBoom
   Price: $199.99 with free shipping
   Lowest By: $54
   

   Do You Need It?: Apple's yearly planned obsolescence of its iDevices doesn't mean the technology has expired. Take, for instance, this first generation refurbished Apple iPad 32GB Wi-Fi Tablet. All the rage three years ago, it's now so heavily discounted that we're again seeing it at its lowest total price. And while this unit may have some signs of wear, and there is no warranty information provided, this iPad deal is a steal.

4. Top Tablet Deal
   Refurbished BlackBerry PlayBook 7" 16GB WiFi Tablet
   Vendor: Best Buy
   Price: $139.99 with free shipping
   Lowest By: $15

   Do You Need It?: We'd like to think of ourselves as an equal opportunity deal-finding resource, and to prove it, we've found the lowest total price on a refurbished BlackBerry PlayBook 7" 16GB WiFi Tablet around, to compliment the above iPad deal. This model, while it is sold "as is" and is subject to Best Buy's return policy, with out any warranty coverage, boasts some impressive specs. The 0.4"-thick tablet weighs 14.4 oz. and features a 1GHz dual-core processor, 7" screen, 3-megapixel, and 5-megapixel front- and rear-facing cameras, respectively, and more.

5. 
Top Video Game Deal
   Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
   Vendor: Best Buy
   Price: $4.99 with $2.99 s&h
   Lowest By: $22

   Do You Need It?: While Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was released in March 2010, it's one of those games wherein blowing things up just doesn't get old. And for $4.99, it's a wise investment to tide you over until E3 week announcements. This RPG is also available for PlayStation 3 for $4.99 (a low by $20) but you'll have to head to the store to pick it up, as shipping is unavailable.

   Total Savings: At least $128
