Last night when I got home, there was a "tube shaped" package that my daughter said she had to sign for. From Jerry (Dot Man), I opened up a 4 piece, 7 1/2', South Bend 291 vintage bamboo rod!!! Rated for "E or HDH", I talked to & thanked (PROFUSELY!) Jerry this morning & he thought it was for 4-6 wt lines...input appreciated. I still can't believe it...I have done some small favors for Jerry & talked to him on the phone many times, but.....I am speechless! I just wanted to acknowledge what those of you who know Jerry already knew....he is one GREAT friend!
Thanks again Jerry...can't wait for the first hookup on this baby!
BTW...my nonfishing wife Colleen really thinks it's pretty..she liked the color & doesn't think I should fish with it....HA!!!

Jerry..Look for some of ol' tubers' famous peanut butter fudge next week...it's not much, but it's coming from the heart my friend.
