I think I set a new personal record in stupdity Saturday. It started out with me buying a new conventional rod and reel Thursday. Nice Abu 5600 and a Star rod. Just around $200.00 on sale.
As the proverbial kid in the candy store I put some 15lb line on it at spendt a couple of hours in the back yard fishing for the cat. The combination was sweet and I started getting the hang of it with distances over 30yd with no birds nests. (when I started I hit my foot or the side of the house with big birdsnests)
So Saturday I took the rod with me fishing, that way I could try it out on the water when I got tired of fishing with the led and worms on the bottom. As I said in a previous post we had a great day up until we where leaving for home. I was packing all my equipment back in the car, asked the boys if they had everything else. We are are ready....... OK we are ready.......
Backing up I heard CRUNCH, whip, Crash ....... gee what did I hit. I jumped out of the car and under the right rear tire was the pieces of my new ROD an REEL.
I guess it was not ment to be.. Anyone else with an experience like this..... so I can feel a little better knowing that I'm not alone being stu.... etc.
