New Custom Rods

[JAMES MOORE]

Just ordered two new custom made rods from Damon Rods here in Upstate N.Y.(http://www.damonrods.com/) Picked out everything from the blanks to the eyes to the grips and handles. One will be a 7 ft. flipping stick, fast tip with lots of back bone and second rod 5ft. very fast tip, medium action with a little more backbone for skipping tubes under docks. Custom design with my name engraved, $150.00 a each.

I'll be in the dog house for weeks when my wife finds out..

150 bucks sounds like a heck of a deal. Your wife should be happy you didn't spend $400 each. Tell her they were on sale for 50?% discount. Women love a deal.

Bring 'em out to Champlain next month so we can have another "Dueling rods" day. Castaway vs Damon. R83 vs Avalanche. LOL It was a toad catching frenzy! This year is looking to be even better. HIGH water! Lots of flooded timber.

 

[JAMES MOORE]

I'll be there. My first tournament for the year is out of Chazey the 12th of June. Want to pre fish before then.

 

[Rob LaMoy]

You can crash at my place to prefish and for the tourney. I'm only 5 minutes from the ramp. The river is front of my house. If not for the dam, you could run all the way down from my house.....Damn dam! LOL

Gee Mini, I thought Texas WAS in the USA??? Components are made in the same places as All Star. And I think All Star uses FUJI guides also don't they???

And I buy American whenever possible, AS LONG AS the product meets my requirements. Which is why I use Daiwa reels and not Quantum.

 

[gone bye bye]

Just ask em where they get their blanks.....



They used to make a good rod, when they bought their blanks from us!



BTW we only use Fuji components on SOME of the Saltwarer rods....the rest are from the US of A.



You know I am just razzing you right Rob? BTW are they wanting you to send your rods back after your done using them?

[Michael Snow]

Hey Mini... is that premium Portuguese cork also from the US?

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Doh....the sting of truth! LOL

Mini, no they're mine. You ought to check out our new 6'9" dropshot rod. MAN is that sweet. Put a new Daiwa on it and some 8lb nylon copolymer......smallies beware!

 

[gone bye bye]

Yes it is Mike....from a US supplier of cork. If he imports it thats him, not us.



I dont need to see any more Castaways. I usually can see enough of them when I "help" a customer make the right decision at shows...lol



I heard that Castaway is starting that program with the Pro Staff. It keeps the dealers happy.
