OK, I've got an idea. Since it appears GS probably should have 2 rods for use from shore, how about I trade you one of mine for one of your rubba tossing sticks?
I can use a more sensative rod for throwing those things , and I think I will get more oppurtunity next season or in the near future. So what do ya say? Then you still only have to build 1 rod over the winter since you seem to have a small forest of those boat sticks.
