    Way to get out. Don't bag St. Croix too much, I'm sure it was a defect and they'll replace it for free (Unless you got it second hand of course. If so, a little sweet talkin' may get you a new one regardless.)

    Got it though cabela's. Called them up and they will replace it.

    It was a 7'6" heavy, fast action, but in retrospect the fast action with heavier weight = too much pressure in the spot it broke. I'm replacing it with a medium heavy with the hope it will distribute the flex a bit more evenly.

    whoa dude, time travel.
    just remember next time july 23 rolls around not to do whatever it was you did to break the rod.

    maybe it's like your own groundhog day, just keep repeating the day until you get it right?

    7-23-07 will be July 23, 2007. it is currently June. Therefore, from your thread title, i was assuming you had visited the future and were posting about it.

    and that kind of blew my mind.

    but i guess you are posting from the future and it really is 07-23-2007 where you are?

    That's pretty funny. ...I've got to remember not to get so drunk that night.

    Quit fucking around with schoolies and get your ass up here.
    The only thing worse than the feeling that you are going to die is the realization that you probably won't.
