9720, Is there a beginner in need of rods?
Posted by Tsunami, Thu May-15-03 08:14 AM
Hey whats up everyone, if there is any beginner out there who wants to start out bassfishing but doesnt have the dough to get a few rods to start out w/ ive got some good rods for him or her to start out, and the best thing about it is im giving em away for free. Ive got a Med-heavy 6'6" older silver series allstar rod that has been used a bit good for jigs, heavy worming, carolina rigging etc., a 7'6" shimano clarus telescoping flipping stick and a 6'falcon lowrider spinning rod that should cover your splitshotting and can be used to start downshotting, both have been used only a couple of times. I know there are alot of solid and skilled bassfishermen on this site but please beginners only, maybe even one of you guys out there has a son or daughter that wants to start up. email me and ill hook it up!!!!!!! good fishing to everyone.

Dude, i'm the amateur you've been looking for! I'll stop by the store to pick them up! Ask Chris if he has anything for me too... I guess i can ditch my silstar/zebco Rhino rod combo's and hook up the pro staff sticks, Good lookin' out dude...

Oh man!! I am a kid and I just started to seriously fish bass and it takes a long time to get a bunch of money.
I am so wanting to really get into drop-shotting. Is the Falcon still available?

Thanks man.

just wanted to say to Tsunami:

That is one of the radest things I have ever seen anybody do!!!
good luck to those that grab these free rods, hopefully these rods will open new doorways, and add to the passion of fishing, right on Tsunami!

Tsunami!

Hook up the Kid!

Great Attitude!

Hey Kid, If Brian got rid of it, e-mail me and I'll donate also!
I have one that I wouldn't mind parting with to help a JR.!
(No charge of course) Are you looking for spinning only? Or would a nice baitcaster do? I have more Baitcasters to donate, but if push comes to shove...we'll talk.

One more thing, I don't buy crap. Everything is top shelf
Right Chris? (@ BWW)

Later!

YOU ARE THE F-ING MAN!

BTW: Could you or Chris "Donate" a 300TE or Calais for me.

(ROFL!)

You've got the heart of a champion, and I'm damn proud to know you!

Sweet gesture Bro, and I hope I'm not stealing your Thunder, but I know you only have a few rods to give away, and I would gladly hook-up the Bassinator Kid if your d-shot rod is already spoken for.

(See Below)

Late!

hey,

that is the sickest thing i have ever seen someone do!!! that is great!! i am a kid that has fished for a few years and loves to fish. i would really like a rod. the alstar would be great because i always wanted on of those. that would be awsome if i could get a new baitcaster rod or reel because i just lost a 170$ setup in the water that a catfish pulled in.

i would appreciate it very much but first come first serve but if there is people in front of me thats cool.

Hey RodSnapper, I don't know if the Falcon is gone yet, but that's awesome that you would hook me up if I don't get it. I'm 15 and I just started seriously bass fishing(99% of the time) this last winter. I still have yet to land a swimbait fish!!! Not to mention just plain winter fishing. I really want to get into some serious drop-shot fishin and split-shot as well as much more practice with texas-rig this summer and on. For drop-shot and split-shot, a spinning rod seems to be ticket.

Great thanks to Tsunami and RodSnapper.

Alright, let's settle this once and for all! I'm a 9 yr. old kid, only 3ft.5" weighing only 45lbs., i fish Bass 100% of the time, if it's still left i'll take the Loomis!

Tsunami and the "Kid"

If Bassinator kid DID NOT get the D-shot rod (spinning) give me a call.

Brian: My telephone # is in the BWW computer....feel free to use it and let me know what's up.

I have a 7ft All Star TITANIUM matched with a Stradic 2000.

I'll bring them BOTH down to the shop for donation to the KID.

I NEED THE GOOD KARMA! THE BASS GOD'S ARE WATCHING.

The reel also has an extra spool, so you can have 2 sets of line for easy change over. Maybe the shop can spool them up?

Once again, In no way am I trying to upstage the kind gesture on Tsunami's part, only enhance his generosity! This is his show, I'm just a small fish in a BIG pond. Besides, Wifey thinks I have too much fishing equipment anyways!(CHICKS!)

This can be considered pay-back for some of my "NON-PROZAC" moments on this site with regards to past posts....ha ha!

Peace!

Ok heres how it goes the the alstar and the falcon rod got snatched up fast and the flipping stick goes to shane. But no worries guys, soon ill be upgrading and doing the same stuff w/ my old stuff.
