Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this post (if it's not, JC/LF, please feel free to move it), but thought it would be of interest to you fellow 'boo nuts:

I figure if 10-15 of us got in on this it would most definitely be worth it. Basically, it'll end up running us about $28/rod!!! If say 10 of us got together on this, we'd each be getting 10(!) rods for $280! Please email me if you'd be interested in this. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a puddle of drool I need to mop up........
