    Eric-WD: I know a gentleman who tried using an older fiberglass rod after he refurbished it and on the first cast it broke because the fiberglass had become brittle due to its shelf life. If the rods were not stored properly then rod would only be good for tomato stakes.

    Can't buy many packages of Kool-Aid for 10 dollars, but you can buy a fiberglass blank for that.

    Actually Brad, I just found a 2 piece, blue, 6 foot blank that you sent me a couple of years ago. I forgot I even had it.

    So you've started teasing Swamp Witches now? Beware apples of unknown source.
    Wouldn't you rather just take her out chasing 'gills?
