I’m sure you know that I’ve been down the road of I’ll health myself the last five years. Gods will, I’m still here and fishing and working. I’ve always looked forward to the folks here on CDC and this forum especially. I had rough weeks and this was always a smile. I’ve said before that I think of folks here as my second family. Most of us will never meet but I have met a few making this an odd family dynamic.my prayers will continue for your improvement so that you can enjoy what you love to do.

About the rods, very cool!! I had a Fenwick like the one with the quick and for the life of me I can’t remember where it got off to. And the conolon, I found and reconditioned one. A seven footer two piece that has a beautiful light medium action. Nino was just beginning to fall in love with light tackle and had none so long story short, I gave it to him. Someone said that they wore out a combo and I’ve done that also. A Daiwa mini mite that may have been a 500 or maybe smaller. Those in the pics take me to days past and catches with them. And we thought we were cutting edge at the time. Enjoy those and thanks for the pics. Hope you’re back to yourself one day soon.

That new rod looks sweet, let us know what you think when you can.
