2 years in a row I snapped a rod on a hookset. Time to update my equipment...

Ouch! What are you going to buy?

My last rod build was back in '04 or '05, I may look at another St. Croix blank and build this winter. The other 2 St. Croix rods I built were back in 2000 and are 5'5" with pistol grips and I liked them a lot, but I don't use them anymore. I think they would be perfect for my son for when he gets older.

I'm not surprised. After seeing you load up for a hook set last Saturday, the only question is, will you break your rod, or break your back.

My back was a little sore the next day, but I thought it was from you racing back to the ramp for some sandwiches. I felt bad for those poor peeps you waked on the way back...LOL...JK of course

Stop crying will ya. My advice, no more Sponge Bob poles!

How did you know?!

Nice to see you on here again, hope you're having a great season, H-N-H!

Worst season I ever had! Biggest fish of the year was a 7.6lb LM. Only won one T all year, but I guess that can be expected when experimenting with new lures and attempting to force feed them. Next year back to the ole stand-by's. Hope your season was a good one!

A 7.6 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. I expected your season to be bad, I bought all your jigs and soft plastics for a song at the beginning of the year...Heck I had to go to jail for a couple of days because the judge thought I stole that tackle...LOL

I didn't have numbers, but the quality was good.

I maybe working full time in Pawtucket, should know better on Friday.

Take care Bud!
