Default My beat rod came..

Missed spelled the title ..very sorry
Meant to say 'My EBay rod came'




And what a blessing...Fenwick has made some changes for the better..I won't have to sand the handle..fits perfectly..and the action..the way a MH should be.I'm set now...it's a 7 footer and is gorgeous...89.00 and free shipping.I'll keep the rod tube..it was bubbled wrapped about 4 inches around the entire rod..took about 10 minutes to get it off..

Blessed and giving thanks,
Andrew bought it for me for my birthday..I saved Matt's money for hunting stuff..

1 7 foot spinning rod with fluke or top water...mono.MH
1 7 foot. Baitcaster braid Horny Toad rod.MH
1 7 foot med. crank bait rod ..baitcaster..Flouro carbon..Medium
1 7 foot flipping braid rod..the one I got today...jig or worm.MH

No doubt Phil..I bought a 7 footer a few years ago..older Fenwick model too much handle for me so I had to sand it down...this rod needs nothing..it's really what I expected from a Gloomis..also has a life time warranty..

I really pumped..I kept the seller's eBay link..he must own a sporting good store..lot's of quality stuff and most has free shipping..he had about 100 things listed on eBay..all are new..everything from bows to quality reels.

I like having a separate rod for everything as well so I won't have to retie either. I just have half of my stuff here at home and the rest back up at my apartment at college. haha. But I make do with all that I got here with little problems. Good luck with the new rod.
