Why don't you drag Chatt and some of your rods to the Crappie Camp?

BTW Leland, your rods are the best I've ever owned bar none. The fact that you create a work of art when building one specifically to order is worth a bit more. A guy's got to make a living. Charge enough to cover your expenses plus give yourself a decent hourly rate per rod. It will be well worth it. Welcome back my friend! Don't cheat yourself!
Thanks reaper, I appreciate that. I continue to get calls from alot of fisherman. My original plan was to grow the thing into a regional brand then sell out and fish the rest of my days. Then do a few personal builds along the way. I have some really neat ideas for new prototype rods to test out later, then introduce for test marketing. It's all about the marketing as you all know......hard to just stay one size. You guy's feel free to pitch out your own ideas. Most good rods out there were concieved by fishermen not maketing majors.
Lip, glad to see you back. I became a CDC member shortly before you disappeared. Met you at the first Eufaula CDC Tournament EB and Odie put on. Heard a lot of great things about your rods. dj
You know those 2, 'Slab Sticks' are prolly 25:dono years old & have landed over a ton of crappies:rolleyes: each. Not that I'm that good but clients are.:Rofl:Rofl Work them over with your skills:notworthy and I'll fish:fish them for another ton.:fingerdance Thanks Leland !!!! <*)}}}><
Chatt; You will be happy to know I have located the original blanks for the old Slab Sticks. 7-0 ft. 2 & 3 power blanks , those are American made and #1 quality. With braided line they make that distinctive "TWING" sound when you set the hook!
Hot dang leland is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Gosh, I love the slab stick you made me.
