I am fortunate enough to have the ST Croix factory within a bout a 3 ish hr drive. I got about 2 steps through the door, one of the employees seen that rod I had in my hand and said " GEE, I wounder what's wrong with that one " lol.... they know the problem! Them guys there are pretty cool to deal with, great customer service. They took my broke rods and replaced them with the upgraded models, no questions asked! That was awesome!

The good one

Cool, ok your good.. that first generation rod had a flaw in the part where you would tighten the handle down to your reel. I know cause I have returned a couple of them! The ( what I said black ) with the white letters is the updated one, I got a handful of those now. Your good with them!!

Hey Tron, I am curious... the Bass x rod you just dropped some money on... is the lettering of the word BASS neon green or black?

Page 2 Ken :) I see ya! Gotta work on your swipe, lol😁

I am actually debating this in my own mind.  I am normally in a yak but in trying to make the most of this trip, since I don't get out of my state very often and especially not for a fishing trip, I think I am going to bring a boat that I have access to.  IDK...  I brought down a boat to the Lake Sinclair event last March and honestly, I am glad I did.  I could cover more water and get to see more of a lake I just am probably never going to be able to fish ever again.  That's kinda how I am looking at it.

I seen the photo and it hit me.... RIGHT IN THE EYE!!! 🧐 HR department is going to have a problem!!

Getting ready to have ssssaaacccss!!

That's pretty cool!

lol..  Why not right!  perfect excuse.  

Screw that stuff!  A bit of a back story.  So at Lake Sinclair last spring, Blat and I got into a conversation ( on camera ) of ice fishing and me moving down that way because in his words somewhat...  ( non quotes ) people die ice fishing....  yeah well ... I'll take my chances on thin ice before this gator nonsense lol!!! 😆🤣🤣
