Is there anyone out there that may have an old flyrod and reel…i got into tying and love it. i was hoping to get a rod for christmas but didn’t happen. i have three daughters, one in college, so money is tight…just throwing it out there …doesn’t hurt to ask, God bless
I do not consider this as “Begging”. Lots of new to the sport of FF & Tying have been helped by others here on FAOL. If you can help someone out, do it. If not, how about contacting me to see if what you are going to post is proper? Might save you some face.
I really dont have a preference at this point being that i am close to a fresh water lake with bass and crappie in it, and also close to the gulf of mexico for reds and sea trout.
I’m not sure about here on the BB but in the chat room begging is prohibited.
The thread starter was listed in this forum, “Things Wanted” I did not and do not consider it to be begging.
Having been a Host in the Chat Room for about 11 years, I have never considered such a request to be begging on the BB or in the Hut. Lets not put out your own interpretation of rules on the BB.
Jerry has received a PM from me. How about considering our BB & FAOL Family and govern ourselves accordingly.
He’s asking for someone to give him a rod and reel without compensation to the provider. No matter how you sugar coat it that is begging. Now I don’t know if that is tolerated here on the forum, that is up the the administrators to determine. I do know in the chat room here on FAOL begging or otherwise asking for something for free is not allowed. I don’t care what is posted here. I’m just relaying information that the OP may find useful if he finds his post deleted.
What about those asking for equipment for teaching kids to tie or fish. Or asking for flies for a benefit. Unlike the chat room you don’t have to read every post on the board. Just my thoughts.
So if I ask for donations to be able to give to a charity like CFR or others I guess I am begging also, leave the guy alone, and try and help out a fellow angler, not belittle him
As I stated in my previous post - I couldn’t care less whether people ask for stuff here, its certainly not up to me. Call it what you will in any scenario you choose. I’m just telling you begging is not tolerated in the chat room. “Belittle him”? give me a break, you’re not paying attention. If he can get someone here to give him a rod and reel I think he’s a genius.
I got a rod for you. It is a Sage VPS 590 2pc, #5. I think it’s supposed to be a 9’ but it’s closer to 9’ 6". I think the butt was extended for whatever reason. It is a custom build (not by me) that was stepped on just above the bottom guide on the tip section. It was crushed right there and I repaired it. Due to the repair, this is faster in action than it was and there is a bit of a flat spot in the curve when you put a load on it, but it will fish and should last a long time.
I can’t ship until next week, but you pay the $10 in shipping and it’s yours. You find your own reel and line.
PM me with an address and for how to send me the postage.
i certainly didn’t mean to ruffle any hackles and i am new and guess i didn’t know the rules. I’d be happy to trade something or pay something. wont happen again
