Where do I start. One of my buddies had been borrowing my wife’s kayak and been fishing with me on some weekends. He enjoyed it and purchased his own kayak this year. Then, they purchased another for his wife later this year. When she isn’t working she goes fishing with us as well. Anyway he only had a couple of older rods so I asked if I could enter him into the contest. I think that act is what won the contest. Well knowing we won and not spilling the beans is hard to do for me but I managed. The rod came today and I managed to get together with my buddy this evening and let him open it. WOW, I must say it is an amazing rod. We are both blown away. Neither of us have held such a quality rod before. Light, but with some backbone it feels like. Guides all over the rod. I’ve never seen so many small guides. The orange just pops off the rod. As the sun was setting they seemed to glow even more. I’m going to let him pick whatever reel he wants (within reason) and buy it for him. My buddy will have a nice rod and reel setup. I had asked Brent if he would include a letter in the package detailing the rod. I must say his letter went above and beyond and was very touching and wonderfully written. I want to truly thank from the bottom of my heart Brent for this beautiful rod and this wonderful act of giving it away. You are truly a golden heart individual and we can’t thank you enough. Now it’s time to test it out!
If you are in need of a nice rod I highly urge you to check out Corley Custom Rods. Brent is a good guy and I think he would take care of you right!
