A trip to Gander Mnt
Me and the boys terrorized Gander Mnt today. Although I didn't buy anything. I was checking out the W & M Skeet rods they released this year. They feel like a nice rod and all priced at a benny, but I am sort of glad I didn't pick up the Lamiglas earlier because after seeing the yellow on the rod because it is loud. And I thought the carrot stick was loud, but it doesn't hold a candle to it. I would hate to fish with some one throwing one of these babies because I think I would flinch every time it was moved. I even glanced around and noticed people turning whenever I flicked around the super yellow light saber. I know this post doesn't signify much, just an experience if any one is thinking about one and hasn't seen it yet.

I hear ya Bubba. I saw those rods at BPS a while back and thought no way I'm going to add that to my collection. Sticks out like a sore thumb and to me personally, I think it has a cheep look to it.

I looked at some of the Skeet rods and BPS and on a purely aesthetic level I did not like them, but the quality for an 89 dollar rod was pretty good. I do not see one in my future though. I origianlly wanted one when I saw them online, but after handling one I am not going to purchase it.

Waffle, it sort of looked like the same thing to me at a glance on 1 I picked up, but with the man beast and num-chuck banging around me it's hard to have a steady hand and look at anything over a few seconds with the thought of buying damaged merchandise. It seemed like it had about 3-4 additional guides than a standard rod too.
