One fluke

I was going to do all the stick wrapping myself - Bubble wrap them, 3 times, especially the tips with the noodles - Then wrap them in with heavy duty brown paper Then I was told by the carriers - FedEx and UPS that they had to be put in a box - I said screw it - I'm letting them do it all - I will put the noodles on the tips at home - I think they all can fit in one box which is $20, plus the wrap and shipping - This will cost a fortune - I tried buying tubes for them - You can't get tubes for 7'ft sticks - Plus you have to buy them in bulk not just a few - No, the V20 is Lloyd's boat - I'm the Proline - I have two sticks that are my favorites - First is my St. Croix - Premium Salt Water SWC70Mf - My Jigging World Black Widow Acid Jigging BWC-150SG - There's a story why they call it the ACID stick - It starts out as a conventional stick and as the guides move toward the top - They start to twist around into the spinning mode I absolutely love this one - Here is a picture - The story goes - Acid Wrap -"Another term for the spiral wrap. The term originated on the West Coast when one proponent of the wrap "Jim Racela" was said to have been on "acid" when he wrapped his rod in spiral fashion."

Jigging world, you went to jigging world in Lodi NJ? I was there a few times and my son who lives close to jiggin world goes there all the time. If I was you I would keep the rods. Your intention is good but with the shipping charges it makes it cost too much. My wife just sent a box 18 lbs to her sister in Florida. $65.00 I told her you would be better off giving her the money so she could buy yarn herself. But we got the yarn for free, that’s the second box that we sent her. I’m out $130.00. Same with the fishing rods. They make shipping to expensive today. And forget about the post office. To expensive and it will get lost or damaged That rod you have with the rod tip turned down , I thought of that idea years before they made that rod. I said ,why don’t they turn the tip facing down on a conventional rod it didn’t make sence the the tip is facing up with all the pressure against it. I’m sure a lot of fisherman said the same thing but one did put it to use and is making a ton of money. I know you want to do the right thing but the shipping is preventing you from doing it. I understand. Keep the rods and reels. Have a yard sale. Let me know when your having it. I just might show up. Very nice proline you had.

To tell you the truth, I never heard of Jigging World back then - I didn't know Tackle World changed it's name to that - We went to all the the salt water shows every year - We entered all the stupid contests - Knowing we ain't winning - Low and behold my friends brother in law wins a fishing pole - He couldn't go so - Michael has a house up in Goshen, so we had to go to some office building on RTE17 to get it - It was an acid stick - The first for me and the guy explained to me how it is better than a conventional stick - I still didn't get it - After playing around with it. I liked it - His brother in law didn't like it - I told him I would give him $100 right now - He said no - The following week we went to Jigging World and I bought the Black Widow - Here's a picture of mine - My friend Lloyd is going to try and get the tubes - I told him to go to a bait and tackle - They might have them - When companies send them their expensive sticks, they are put in tubes - I can't get them here any more - All the good shops are history - So I will see how things go - Have you done any fishing and how's the motor?
