You'd better be careful with how information like this is collected, monitored and used. Otherwise, the next thing you know there'll be some state or federal 'Safe Act' passed that bans or forces you to register any fishing rod longer then 6-1/2 feet. Background checks will be mandatory and you will need to have a rod that qualifies under this type of legislation, bought in one state and shipped to another, shipped by and to a federal dstributor. Also, traveling with a qualifying rod(s) to out-of-state dishing destinations may require certain permits or you may be in violation of interstate transportation of a dangerous device.
