I hate it when a plan does not come together...but I placed my order for 2 rods from Amazon and they came in when they said the next Thursday...shipped separately one was at the house when I got home that afternoon and in good shape. The other rod came in later in the night and when I opened it the last 6" of the tip was missing from the box. So I dropped it back at the UPS pick up the next day and ordered another one...so I only had 1 rod to do a little single poling with Saturday and struck out totally. The 3rd rod came in broken also...so I sent it back and had Amazon credit my account. Well then I got on the phone last Saturday and called Grizzly Jig I decided to go ahead and order 3 more rods. They came in today all 3 in great shape so now I have to put a plan together for this Saturday.
