Went to JB Salters in Erwinville today to get 2 of my rods fixed....Mr. JB was there by himself and I want to report that he is quite well for being 85 years young.....I had broken about 6" off the ends (not fishing)......guess I am pretty rough on my rods.....cost me $5 each and a bargain at that.....also picked me up another graphite rod for $70.....he has dropped the price $10 on his remaining stock until they are sold out.....said he has sold 40,000 rods (in his lifetime).....he is expecting a new shipment of rods in maybe a month.....he had one prototype there of the new ones....he also hopes to have his website up in a month....naturally, he insisted to give me another lesson on how to use his rods even though I took his class at LSU.....and watch some of his fishing videos.....said his son has agreed to take over the business.....

Took me an hour and a half to get out his door....but I enjoy every trip I make to see the "Phd " of crappie fishing....
