Redge, I would hate to part with mine, but I hate to see a man without having a famous Liprippin Rod. Tell you what, I'll sell mine on credit to you. $75 down, $50 a month for one year and you'll be in business. Then if you like, I will go ahead and see you the bottom half of the rod too. Same price.......so see, if you really put your heart to it, you can be proud owner of one of Leland's custom designed rods. People will be pulling you over going down the highway wanting your autograph and many restaurants in this area give you a free meal when you carry your Lip-ripper rod inside their cafe. Just be careful and don't poke anyone in the eye.
