whoever you are. I was at Dick's Sporting Goods today buying a few odds and ends. I noticed two ladies (mom and daughter, quality) fingering every rod on the racks, obviously clueless about fishing.

I hear the daughter tell the mom "maybe he can help us", referring to me. They proceed to tell me they want to buy a rod and reel for their husband/dad but don't know which to buy. I asked them if he fished saltwater or fresh. Mom replies "salt." I asked if he preferred spinning or baitcasting. Neither mom or daughter had any clue whatsoever what I was talking about. I asked what their budget was and mom replied around 60-80 dollars. I asked if that was for the rod or total for both. Then the daughter asked if a long rod was better than a short rod? But the way she asked had me chuckling :-?. I told her I prefer at least a 7 footer. She then asked "isn't it hard to walk around with such a long rod all day?", and kind of smiled. ... It took every bit of professional courtesy I could muster up to prevent myself from taking this conversation any further.

The mom told me it was a father's day gift and birthday gift combined. I told the mom it wasn't fair to give husband/dad only one gift to cover two holidays and should consider a nice Shimano baitrunner reel to go along with a rod I picked out for them. This would have set them back about $225 but mom wouldn't do it.

Mom said he only fishes maybe 3-4 times a year. I found an Uglystick combo for $59 and explained this would be the best deal she will find. Mom then gave me two coupons for $10 off any purchase over 50 bucks. I ended up spending 100 bucks :'(.

Anyway, I tried to get whomever a super sweet combo for father's day but just couldn't pull it off.

Sounds a bit embellished to me : :) ;D

Hey Micro; seems that there are 2 areas around here where people stretch the truth

Size of their fish

Size of their rods

Well, considering this is a fishing site and I'm a  fisherman,  I would NEVER lie about my rod
