Uncle Russ,

Since you have purchased some of the above mention rods, you have officially become a member of the "Blue Blood Tackle Society".

To become a member you must spend a fortune on rods with fancy names, and expensive lures and jigs without hooks. If fact, most members of the BBTS are afraid to use these products in fear that one might break.

They use the old trusty Shakespeare "Wonder-rod" from the early days when no other member of the BBTS is present.

Most members of the BBTS don't buy "Smith" rods, because it sounds to American. They are fantastic rods, but what member of the BBTS wants to brag about a Smith?
