Where's a good place to get a whip antenna?

I got a 4' whip by K40 Electronics from Truck City CB in Federal Way, and I think they have a shop in S. Seattle too. I wanna say it was in the $20-something range, but I don't remember. The guy in the shop recommended it over a FireStik and other brands, seeing that I'd be banging through the trees and stuff and needed the flex. True to his word, I've banged it into trees, parking garages, etc.- plenty of situations where a stiff antenna would tweak the mount, and all is well. Who knows, they may be overpriced or something, I don't have experience in the CB world. I do seem to have pretty great range though. Good luck!
