Same thing happened to me. But I used usps and I did not buy insurance.
It is an expensive lesson. I shipped my dobyns rod and it is busted.
I need to contact dobyns and see if they can honor their warranty.

that is a nice bass pond!
I wish i could have one, but in here it is illegal to transport live fish.
Also, I know bass eats a log, so I could not afford one.

i bought the past 7 seasons DVD from bps.
However they are not tournament. but kvd and a couple of other famous bass pro are in the show.
the flw website has online view too.

I ended up buying 3 old model $300 each from bps.
what is the real difference between the ex model and old model?

because americans cannot affort it.
just joking.
because americans are old styled.
alright, i stop joking.

I use 8lb seaguar. I like it.

i have samuri yellow 15# on my fuego 2000A. It is a great line but I heard peole saying it is easy to break.
I never experience the break.

i heard it is getting worse and complicated.

nice vintage reels.
Can be very expensive on ebay.

Never thought of walk the dog with ul lure.
That is really think out of the box to me.

what is the fish in your last picture?

I got 3 pairs of the yo-zuri snap.
I fished it once and i don't see any special with this small lure.
They look nice but do not catch more fish.

nice combo! I want to get my reel paint now.
