Mailman just drop a tube originally shipped from Japan !  

Man, I wasn 't expecting them so soon, Mr Ogawa shipped them March 28 th and they arrived today, not bad taking in consideration that it usually takes stuff shipped from Japan 4 to 6 weeks before I can have it.

Man, at Plat they shure know how to wrap a rod, bubble wrap after bubble wrap after bubble wrap, tape, plus tape, plus tape and a thick PVC tube to protect them goodies inside, and me with the fever to see in the flesh waht 's inside.

Open the tube and remove the goodies, bubble wrap, a couple of layers, more tape ! oh boy, what 's inside ? ....... golly molly ! a couple of rod covers ! on a little over 100 dollars rod ?  , you gotta be sh*g me ! ........ it anything fancy, nope it ain 't silk but still it 's a nice touch  , neither GLoomis nor St Croix has ever given me a rod wrap and them rods I got from both are more expensive  ......

I open the rod cover and .......more bubble wrap n 'tape !  , oh well, it 's a small price to pay having to unwrap all that bubble wrap n 'tape, after all, it 's there to protect what 's inside, isn 't it ?  , I unwrap the bulky one first ..... oh man ! ...... let me stare at it a little bit more ..... oh man ! look at the handle details, the tactile experience is  , ya know what I mean ....... look at the first guide, ok, enough lookin at the firts piece and let 's unwrap the second ..... pretty darn nice guides ! ..... the blank feels so different, instead of being smooth it 's grooved ! ..... groovy !  

Let 's put both pieces together to appreciate the whole ........ pretty darn light ! ...... my Revros is gonna looks killer on this rod ! ( gotta check the balance but I feel it 's going to be what I expected ) ....... Nice light saber buddy ! who cares it 's made in China. The truth is that no domestic $125 rod I 've owned comes close in looks to this baby.

An   grin appears on my face as I get mentaly prepared to fish them super spooky bass at Otates and La Laborcita armed with my Bosco paired to my Revros spooled with 6 lb test line and a bunch of them small japanese baits. Maybe Zimapan bass are gonna get poisoned too.

Muahahahahahaha ( evil laff ! )

Where's the pic!
