Just a word to those that want or need to know about fishing gear .
Now mind you I don't typically use high end stuff as it just isn't my program. Most of the many different types of tackle used are within the budget of the average guy or gal .
Case in point , i went to the Walmart yesterday to get a small fillet knife for what i knew would take place after work at my friends "fishing" dock. He didn't have a good fillet knife the last time I had to clean a few fish there and that problem is now cured .
As I wandered down the aisle i saw a really pretty rod laying right in the flat middle of the aisle . I know I know typical Walmart shoppers right ? But emitting lightly from that area was a wee little voice saying
"help me please , I've fallen and cant get up " :yikes
So I bent down and said "here little fella let me help you out of this predicament ":Rofl
I held it a few moments to long and it started asking lots of questions ...:yikes
"you that guy I heard tell about " ? " Are you that there make me famous fella " ? :Rofl
I was like um , well that's a strange question but to be sure it could happen I suppose .
So I played with it a bit and knew my bud needed a new rod and said you know what little guy
" I think it might be your day " rotfl
So off we went with our 2 dollar extended warranty for 2 years no hassle replacement program and back to work and I laid 2 rods on the table in the conference room .
Both are identical 6 foot one pc. rods but one is a an Abu in fiberglass and the other this here new carbon . Not much difference in the 2 other than weight ,both have a 6 to 12 lb line suggestion and medium action .
My bud chose my older fiberglass and so it began .
Off to water the little fella went and this is no joke ...
first pitch, fish on and so it went until I hit 25 and moved on to what i was actually there for in the first place . The rod is pretty sensitive and has reasonable back bone and good action . Sets the hook well and feels real nice in my hand .
I will be testing it often in the days to come so stay tuned ....
The rod did by the way whisper really sweetly on the way back to the truck last night
"thanks ketchn , i really needed that " rotfl
KABOOM is for sure the word my friends :cheers2
p.s. under 20 bucks was the price tag on this rod
