OK ...
Buster and CH312 ...
You two Dudes now have my utmost Respect , Calling things they way are right to a TEE ,,,,
That is Good Stuff right there..
The main reason most unionized places supply all the safety gear is not for your safety , but for the safety of the own ........knowing that most unoin guys are just waiting for a chance to go on long term disability....
Not me , I wish they would open more of them ....
Put all those little stores out of buisness ..you know the ones that way way overcharge for everthing...
Ah For God Sakes ..
They sent you the wrong rod by Mistake , That would be a great starter rod for Melissa , either that or snap it in half and lop it in the Garbage ....
And purchase the heavier rod you want...
Shimano is a Great company to deal with ....
They've already replaced a dozen for me over the years....
