I had a few custom 6ft Crappie.com rods made up, and we were long lining today, and well, make a long story short, rod be gone!
But we did have some good luck today. Prolly caught 25, kept 10 for this coming weekend's slabfest cause I hear we're needing some.

I feel your pain. I have a few hundred bucks laying at the bottom of one of my lakes. Stripers and spider rigging can spell disaster! At least you didn't come home empty handed.

Blakemore Rod Floaters
The rod I lost does/did float. But it still disappeared after we got the boat turned around. We seen it bobbing up and down and then gone. Coulda been a big gar or bass on it. Maybe even a gator. But it got real windy and we stopped looking. Oh well.
Them yeller thangs on my rods keep my rods from sinking.....They don't do much for saving a boat tho!!:Rofl

I did that once. I had a 12 ft pole that was suppose to float disappear in 4 ft of water. We gave up looking but came back the next day and there it was floating near where I lost it. A 2-3 lb catfish was still on it.

Years ago Dad made a hook to drag while trolling. He never paid for another rod. Even got one that still had a 4 pound bass hooked, would not have beleived him but I was with him
Boat is floating again....Just waiting on my mechanic to call me to come pick it up.:cheers2
Must be somthing in the Air. I lost my old Billy Brue today. I think Im going to start dragging the lake. Be cheaper than buying them. The Fish Gods felt my pain and rewarded me with a 2.6 Mama Slab. OOO Well I guess it is the price to be paid.
Have built a 'angle fanger' and hope to catch a rod and reel.--shu
Big Rattletraps have recovered a lot of rods, and caught a few fish in the process. Whenever you lose a rod, throw a marker so you know where to concentrate. Sorry for your loss my brother.
How and what did you make it with?
thanks

Hey thanks SkeetBum I know where it should be a big catch fish got hold of it. Im going tomorrow to look for it, mabe i will get lucky. Been thinking about rigging a big treble hook with weight. That rod has been with me for 30 yrs. Im also going to put the word out with the local guys that fish that area. Thats all I can do.Thanks for your reply
Dan
im thinking TNT that if the boat would have sunk when ALL those rods where on it there would have been enough to hold the boat up tooo ---------just saying
