I've told him about a couple of the rods, the Thomas & Thomas has a lifetime guarantee, if/when he breaks it, they'll replace it. He doesn't know it, but he now has equipment that is simply not available outside of internet sales, and it'll be a decade or two before he can afford it. He'll figure it out in his own good time. What I like is the simple pleasure he takes in having a rod that feels good in casting, and functional equipment. Cheers, Mike
Looks like the kid did good. Nice of you to loan him the gear.
ReplyDeleteHe did good indeed. Ain't a loan, it's his now.
DeleteWhat a great gift for the kid!

You gave him something that will bring him good memories in the future. He seems to be doing very well with it.
ReplyDeleteA great kid, he's doing well indeed. And a true Montana kid, has no plans of leaving, but life changes on a dime, as we know.
DeleteGreat looking fish. You don't mean to say you've given up fishing, do you?
ReplyDeleteThat is a hell of a rainbow, and consider that it comes from a stream that's about 12 feet wide. 'Notellum creek' as we know it.
