Thank you
 

Thank you :btu:

Saturday afternoon there was a little gift waiting for me at the cookout - actually brought up by owneer / designer Rob Koelewyn, the Zee Baas reel - thank you all ! Inscribed on the side is "Thanks - From the members of striped-bass.com".

As we grilled cheese imbedded soy burgers and African Bean Peanut Soup, Rob gave us the tour on this reel. All I can say at this point is that it is impressive. I have not yet christened it on a fish but casting so far is impressive. Soon ;)


So again, thank you and I am honored that you all chose to do this. I am both greatful and touched :btu:

Pictures when it is christened on a fish :hee: (or at least until when I get the camera batts recharged).
