So I'm driving back to the job the other day at lunch and I notice what looks like a rod laying on to trash cans. This is Avalon, and you can find some interesting stuff out for the trash. I turn around and check it out. Lo and behold it's a damn near brand new 9' Okuma Fin Chaser rod. I couldn't beleive it! I've checked out some other curbside rods but they were trash-broken guides, frayed wraps, etc. This thing was bright and shiny. I stood there looking at it for a couple of minutes and put it in my truck. Trust me , the surroundings gave no indication that some set it down to for a minute. This was last week and the town is well thinned out till now. I'm planning on going to the Hogde Podge to see about a reel, but
I wondered if you guys might like offer a suggestion. Let say a decent reel, affordable, nothing spectacular, but nice. Also, where is one best suited to use a 9' rod? I'm thinking loooonnngg casts on the jetty or beach?
