You are correct about the tournament and the cost of the cost of the patch. I called last week and talked to Tony's brother. They have been waiting for a large shipment of rods for several weeks now,and still no rods. I called Cabela's and they bought six thousand Ozark rods and they are SOLD OUT. Keep calling Edgar's. I call them every other day. I got the phone number for Edgar's from BUGMAN. Have a great one,and please don't buy all the rods. There are lots of crappie fisherman waiting for them to arrive.
