flyfshn Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Attended the xmas party at Hargrove's on Saturday. Great food, drinks, friends and stories! Put my name in the hat for the drawing they were having and ..........Chris called this afternoon and told me I won a prize. No way....I never win anything!! Drove to the shop and Craig went downstairs and came back with a Sage ZXL 8'6" 4wt rod, handed it to me and said congratulations! My jaw dropped and I almost fell over. What a day, my father goes in to see if he was going to have to have open heart surgery and the doctor tells him the spot they say was just a weakness in the muscle of his heart (nothing to worry about)..........and I win a Sage rod!!!!

DaddyO Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 That's righteous living paying off!!! DaddyO We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.
DoveTail Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Sweeeeeet! Great news on both subjects, now that's a Christmas present. Congrats.
flyfishmaster Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Good news all the way around is how I see it!!! Later, FFM Woo Hoo Fish On!!
Terry Beeson Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 VERY KEWL, MIKE!!!! On BOTH parts!!!! Have you got to cast the rod yet? They are sweet, but a little fast for me in the 5wt. But I will say I had a hard time casting a BAD loop with it. It's on my list for my birthday present....

flyfshn Posted December 11, 2008 Author Posted December 11, 2008 Haven't had the opportunity yet. In fact, I dont have a reel with 4wt line on it. Have one with 3wt and 5wt, so I will have to try that first and save for another reel to put 4wt on!! Will be down at Lilley's the week after xmas, so I hope to catch a fish on it then! Fish On!
