WOW last ones I got from him were $65 and I didn't even think about it. Even at $85 I still wouldn't think about it. One thing with Mr. Salter if he is there your not just going to walk in pay for your pole and leave, you better have a couple of hours to to spend there, but it will be the best couple hours you have spent talking to someone in your life.

Hey Bb,

PS pays more because Mr. Salters know he's gonna fish shiners with it.

Your right on time well spent. The man has got the passion.

I told him one time I didn't need his, I could catch sacs with a broom stick. I thought he was going to have a stroke.

that $85 is for the newer graphite poles......his fiberglass poles are cheaper($???)....and a lot heavier.....
