The thought of casting 1,000 dollars into the ocean is scary!
So.... anyone?

Toaster816 has a story like this, the short of it was, fishing solo at night in big surf, makes a cast proceeds to get hit by a wave and washed away cause he only weighs 87 pounds with boots on
, drops the rod in surf, its gone, goes back to his truck, sleeps for a few hours, goes back at day break and low tide, the darter and line had swept in and go tangle in some debris, follows it to his vs/legend combo!! Goes home, washes it down, rinses the reel, checks the guides and has been using it ever since.
