I have a ton of rods from Charlie. He's got to be my age or close to it so Good for him.

No boat, back in the suds.

I started with Charlie when he was on Rt 88 in Dartmouth. Probably 92 or 93.

True statement right there

I went down last winter to buy some rod finish since they sell the type I want. I was looking over the shoulder of a woman wrapping rods to see her technique and see if I could learn more than I know.
Charlie went off on me and said how’d you like it if someone was watching you etc etc. I was like whoa..... you need a hug or something. Not good way to win a customer. Way over stressed.

Other than that it’s a great shop. Always felt his ‘custom’ rods were reasonably priced in comparison to others.

Many other tackle shops get thier rods from cms. There gonna need a new vendor.
