Well ,Matt will be happy..I got the cheaper model Gloomis...After the long drive I made up my mind to get a 6 1/2 footer MH..good thing too..they had no 7 footers and only one 61/2 footers..MH ..it was there lower end Gloomis so it only cost 215.00....one of their Greenback models..the man was trying to tell me it was the same blank as the St Croix .Advid..super wrong ..I held both in my hand at the same time..the St Croix is twice the weight..my Gloomis feels like your holding air..I'm actually concerned about it hauling Big Berthas out of the jungle..it will primarily be my jig rod..

Reason being..on a jig it's tap and SET...that fast..the extra sensitivity would make this my go to jig rod..

On a worm I like to feel..wait a second ..and good pull set..my Fenwick will be my go to rod for that..I've got one coming in the mail..

While at the Bass Pro I also picked up some goodies..

6 Bill Normans...3 Chrome, 1Sexy Shad,1Tenn.Ghost and one pearl
2 1/4 ounce Panther Martin Fly Spinners
1 Primos Cuttin Striker..lost mine in the swamp ..awesome striker..
And plan to order 3 100 grain Steelforce Broadheads...

Great birthday,
