Good Story

I like stories like this,

Give us all a damn good reason to see the boys in ya local tackle shop or sponsers on the site.

Ive had some awesome help from Dave at Extreme Coolers (the Vac Sealer is awesome)

Just used Tackle Shack last week and they were great.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

I would suggest reporting

I would suggest reporting them to Ebay and paste the reply you’ve got from them. You can get on on-line chat with Ebay representative pretty easy and they are quite helpful.
