My brother came down from Missouri about a week or so ago. He told me he had a rod and reel to give me and said it was not a wal-mart special (which is what I generally buy ha ha). Anyway, it was a St. Cr. rod and an ardent reel. I looked up online and the total package was $339.
I think it was the first gift he has ever given me, but it sure made up for all the gifts he never gave. Nah, I am not a wanter for anything and I was just glad to see him, regardless of the nice gift he gave me. I am very appreciative of it and thankful.
Dang I hope my brother reads this
