I wouldnt tell my tackle shop i broke it on a fish though because one i wouldnt want it to cost them anything(they are great people there) and 2nd Pt.judejoe who is a memeber here also works there and would read this post and find out anyhow. Now if i brought it at walmart that would be a different story

. MAybe i could contact tica and do it directly through them, but then id have to wait. AAAARRRRGGGG i wish i was rich!!! So i would probally be best off getting another 8ft tica for $60 over the batson from bud8fan , seeing the tica is a lil stiffer.
