Hi Everyone,

Bid on a combo offering to benefit the Haberek family:



A guided trip with Five-Time National Surfcasting Champion Ron Arra

Lamiglas - Ron Arra Surf Pro rod model XSRA 1203-2, a 2 piece Moderate/Fast action, 10’ rod rated 3/4 – 2 ½ oz. and 12-20 pound test line.

Bronco Lure Bag


The fine folks at Lamiglas have been kind enough to donate a fabulous surf rod and Ron Arra is graciously offering up his time and talent to provide the ultimate surf fishing learning experience. You determine the best date with Ron for a 2008 trip at either the Cape Cod Canal or another nearby locations. It will be a fun filled fishing trip where you can learn how to really maximize the performance of an award winning rod.

Ron can help you achieve far greater distance with a lot less effort; he can also give you some casting pointers with single and double handed fly rods as well as show you techniques for spinning and conventional tackle.

The addition of a terrific Bronco Lure Bag rounds out this very special offering.

The bidding starts at a minimum of $500 and will go till October 20, 2007

A deposit for 50% of the bid will be sent immediately to Jessica Haberek and the balance will be sent the day of the trip. We will send you both the rod and surf bag upon receipt of the deposit. You may also elect to send the entire bid amount immediately…your option.

Here's a shot of Ron admiring Hab's outstanding needlefish.

I bid $725.00
Is the rod available as a casting rod rather than spin?

Parker23, Thanks for your bid- The donated Lamiglas model rod is a spinning model> "Ron Arra Surf Pro" XSRA 1203-2 10'.... This factory version is only offered in spinning.

hi ron. :wave:

Ron,
Thank you for the clarification. I can always use another stick.
Bruce

OK Parker, Thanks so much for your generous bid.

Adding another for Habb- A original first print copy of my book "The Ultimate Guide To surfcasting" There have been four printings ....Seven more days left.

I would offer $850

Thank You Very Much, RMS

RMS, Cardinal77, EricM, and Parker23 thank you all for your sincere response to the Bid On A Combo Offering To Benefit The Haberk Family.

RMS, We all want to thank you so much for your generosity that will always remembered as a great benefit to the Haberek Family:

I am sure John is above us, appreciating all the sincere generous gifts and prayers that are being given to his family in many ways.

Thanks
It is really great what all the folks of Striped-Bass are doing for John's family. It is a real testament to the fishing community.

Please confirm that this is the correct address and I will send the check out immediately.

Jessica Haberek
PO BOX 17174
Smithfield, RI 02917

Ron, I also left you a PMessage.

Thanks Again,
Rich

RMS, thanks for your generous contribution to the Haberek family.

Now Ron and I will just have to get together and fish and film some of RI's late fall action -- which is about to blow wide open... at which time we'll both sign the photo and video and get them out to you (hopefully within the next two weeks).

Rich, please send me a PM with your address and we will see to it that you get the rod and bag in time for this year’s run of fish -- they should both possess major mojo and good fish catching karma...be sure and let us know what you land while using them.

A special thanks goes out to Lamiglas and Ken Ehlers (Lamiglas and Bronco Bag representative) for providing a truly terrific rod and a great bag.

Obviously Ron Arra is a bighearted friend of the Hab’s guy and his contribution is a wonderful way of saying, “Thanks for the memories John.”

Rich, I know your time spent with Ron will be fun, productive and memorable.

Mike

I want to thank Rich (RMS) again for his generous contribution to the Haberek family. He's giving the rod, bag and lesson to his very special uncle and he has increased the amount he already won the bid for from $850 to $1,000.

This is a fine example of how the community here at S-B goes way beyond the active posters...you'll note that Rich stepped in out of the shadows of lurkedom to support a site member in a very special way.

Mike

Thanks to Mike and Ron.
A terrific duo who have provided for a family and friend in a time when they were in need. It speaks volumes about their respect and friendship with HAB'S.

I might add here that Jessie and John Jr. have been deeply touched and are so very grateful to all who have donated their time,talent, material goods ,and financial and moral support during this most tragic and stressful time. Thank you ALL!:claps:

nice job mike and ron!

WOW..Thats awesome

RMS, Looking forward to meeting you on Cape in 2008. I am optimistic we can have a productive day fishing and also increase your casting distance with much less effort . Please email me at rafishing@comcast.net and we can go over your trip to Cape Cod. Thanks again Rich for your tremendous effort and gift of $1,000 that will greatly help out the Habb's Family and is much appreciated by countless members on Striped-Bass.com and many other internet fishing sites this side of the globe.
