Well after a little setback with my cars timing belt breaking, oil pan leaking, and water pump going out all at the same time, and not forgetting having my car towed to the shop for a nice 575 bucks on my birthday. I ended up getting a nice little present from my parents, a G.Loomis BCR 853 GLX which fit my Metanium MG perfectally

;D oh Yea and that nice combo helped me catch the biggest yet out of my private stash of ponds

My first Loomis and my first Shimano, I have to say that I am quite impressed.

Super photo.  Would make a great Christmas card.

Sorry about your car.  

But happy you now have an outfit to be proud.

Your parents did good.

Keep sending those pics.  

Well I hope next year they buy you a nice ride lol

BTW congrats on your fish and happy belated

Thats to bad about the car, but that is a nice loking combo.

Nice rod and reel. Is that your bed it is laying on? Down here we normally don't sleep with ours. LOL

Oh that setup is never out of my sight for more than a few minutes, and since my room could outfit a bass pro there are always rods and reels on my bed

You sleep with them? Now that's die hard.

BTW, Happy B-day.

Great looking combo.  Nice fish!
