all i had was a solid fiber glass rod and a mitchell 300 reel

one day i get in the boston whaler from the pram

i lean the rod against the wind sheild with the rod butt sitting on the boat cushion which was sorta half way hanging over the edge

i go to get in the big boat and get hit by a wave when making the transition and i stumbled into the big boat stepping on the cushion

i accidentally launched my beloved rod ten feet into the air behind me and it went Bloop and sunk into a deep dark hole....

i dived in for it but couldn't see or go deep enough to find it...
Not to mention it was ice cold.......

i've missed that rod ever since.
