Mr. Ray has helped me out MORE than once! One time at Darbonne when EVERYONE was closed and my bearings went out in my trailer so he called a "local" that he knew that owned a shop to get me some bearings to telling me to use some 3" NEW (he made sure to tell me to use NEW more than once) sewer PVC pipe to hold my rods so they don't get torn up! I still have both of the PVC tubes that I built to protect my rods and I have yet to break one IN the protectors. Way to go MR. Ray!
