Cabela's had Pac Bay UL rod kits on clearance some time ago. I picked up three to build as surprise gifts for my best friend's kids. The family had been going through some tough times, so I thought any nice gesture would help... The reward!

That smile says it all, good feeling when a sincere effort is rewarded like that. Good for you.

strummer, I'm new and just saw this post, but I'm with the rest of the gang, you made that young man's day. You also made him a fisherman for life. I wager that you could NOT wipe that smile off his face with 80 grit sandpaper. Thanks for ''Paying it Forward.'' Take care, John.

You talk about selfless gifts, what you did was a perfect example. That was just fantastic, and to see that happy young man with a genuine smile like that is what its all about.
You're alright in my book st summer.
