Okay, we did more than just run to Cabelas and fertilize Clyde's flowerbed.
We stopped in to Al & Bobs new store, was pleased to find Ron Springs perch rigs, so I bought 4 more of those. And bought a cheap on sale jigging rod..... I know now after witnessing our trip to Detroit River that it's a cheap rod that puts the majority of the fish in the boat. Ginger is up front with his custom made HMX2 rod that has all the bells and whistles, and I'm in the back with a St. Croix.......but it's Sparty filling up the box with a 15 dollar Berkley clearance rod! So, not to be outdone, I bought a cheapie too. I am at the counter ready to check out and mischevious Jerry says....ÿou need a new reel to go with that" No I don't I said until the cashier asks if I would like to be on their rewards program. What the heck, why not. She asks when my birthday was.....why it's Today I tell her. Little did I know they give 20% off for your birthday!
Back to the reel counter I go with Jerry closely behind to make sure I spend more money......so now I have a cheap 6' jigging rod and a Pflueger President $79.00 reel to go on it.......but I saved 20%!
