Thanks guys. The rod started as a dare, someone said I couldn't get a big fish on it and from there it's history. I have spent so much money in gear through out my life and sometimes I like to bring my self back to reality. Im always trying new things in the line of fishing. One thing I miss is that nervouse feeling I use to get when fighting a fish & boy do I get it on that little thing. If you ever watched one of the videos I can't stop laughing. It's definatly a lot of fun and for $8.88 at Wally world you can't beat it. It's getting it's on page on my site and I might even use it to go for Mass Wildlifes angler of the year award. All the parts are original and unchanged except for the line I had to replace it after live linning pogies for bass & blues. They didn't leave much on the reel after a few break offs..lol , but its still 8lb test. I have taken it apart a few times to clean and lube it, especialy after saltwater. They rust pretty quick in the salt. I have to admit they are built pretty well. It's almost like tricking Murphy of Murphy's law " what can go wrong, will go wrong" little does he know Sponge Bob's got some Mojo.........Plain and simple its all fun.
Thanks again guys
