Second off i am not spreading rumors, honestly i could not care any less to be honest.

Third off based upon your rant are feeling guilty about something?

It's a known fact that Fishbones was there both times, and it was certainly implied. Not to mention you've said the same thing to me (jokingly) more than once. It wouldn't take a genius to put two and two together. Not to mention word travels.

Guilty about what? I'll make the offer again to post the conversation I had with Dave. I told him I dropped the rod. If he or anyone else disputes this I'd love to discuss it.
By asking that you are simply trying an antagonistic approach. Good luck with that., and whatever your motives are. Anyone that knows me knows my track record.

Hmmmmmm, maybe fishbones is bad luck? Or maybe he had something to do with it? He seems to be the common denominator.

Greg, thanks for the reply. I'm sorry about your experience. I don't know the details of the break or the conversations had and I'm not going to speculate. With all due respect, rods break sometimes.. whether it be from factory defects, high sticking, overloading, pole vaulting or from subtle damage in just the right spot. I've seen Centurys break, I've seen CTSs break, Lamis old and new break, it happens. I'm glad you situation was resolved, and I'm sincerely sorry it was such an unpleasant experience. I can assure you there isn't any bad mouthing of you going on and whatever happened is water under the bridge. I'm bummed that whatever happened was enough to turn off from our brand for good. I wish you the best of luck with whatever rods you go with here on out and in your upcoming fishing season. If you ever get curious about a century model again in the future, I'd be happy to loan you one of my personal rods to use, should I have that specific model.

Now... back on track..

I got a great deal on a Guy Cotten pullover and 2 shark tooth necklaces for my boys

well you seem to be new to this fishing forum so maybe you are used to spreading second hand knowledge on the internet, but here it's not that cool and we'd rather speak firsthand accounts, kinda how tysdad explained it to you.
Opinions are one thing, bashing or looking like you have an agenda is another.

I fish a lami 1322 also , but I did not get to the rissa show so I'll end my contribution at that

To question as to whether a man is feeling guilty is inciteful at the least.Fish whatever makes you happy.lots of flavors nowadays but some have proven themselves many years over.

Words Of Wisdom, Chris are you feeling ok?

I was there all 3 days listening to seminars to pick up any new info, brush up on some things and delete some habits. Got some plugs and a bunch of rubbers too.

[stripermaineiac]

Hey guys. I've built a lot of rods over the yeas. I can't remember a single style that didn't fail or break at one time or other. It happens. we hard cores push the envelope. nothing built today will take all the beatting we give them what with braid,new heavy drag reels,big plugs,lead heads and metal.It's part of the cost of what we do.Chill,accept it and try to figure what the cause was and go to another rod.The lighter they are the weaker they are. look what happened to Kunnan rods and the ist loomis glx 10 weight fly rods.It's gonna happen.Find out why let the builder an manufacterer know what happened an how so they can fix the problem . that way the next run will be better. Let go back to the post an not hyjack it anymore. The RISSA Show was great this year.

I talked with steve mckenna a bit and we talked about what they use to use back un the day....we have it easy

I went Friday...

I found out Tattoo Bob knows everyone. I mean...everyone. I was able to pick up a couple AH's and a couple Surf Asylum Needles. Still not unhappy with my current rods but the Century and CTS rods are tempting. Did not see any Tuf-Line braid for my boat jigging setup or Eelskin Jr's or A40's. really that's all I wanted. This show is my official, unofficial kickoff to the season. Soon there will be less keyboard time and more standing on rocks.

[nightfighter]

Anyone go to the seminars???? I saw a number of members here listed as speakers......

[niko]
