Jack bought out all the rods at cabela's, bass pro, dick's, and gander mountain before they went under.

The cabelas quality back then to know is night and day.  I wish i bought them out the cabelas rods anyway.

Yes they became much more brittle as time went on. I think the older IM6 blanks were much better

Mother Nature finally gave a narrow window to be able to get on some shad recently with the flood receding and warming waters. Took @Bucksnbows in my boat Good Friday afternoon N of gap but the winds and debris made it un-fishable.  To make matters worse the water pump went in the Honda 9.9. Had to row back in. We then donned the waders and I got my first two shad rather quickly then wind and debris made it even too bad for casting. Saturday afternoon my buddy Todd and I did much better with much less debris and clearing 52 degree water. I went 9 for 13 and he went 9 for 10. A few nice roe in the mix. Mother Nature giveth  and now she taking it away again with chilling water temps and river is forecasted to rise 3’ by Wednesday the day before the big tournament. She is a bitch!!!!

Did you get your impeller replaced
