Too bad about your pole! I think we can all relate. My buddy spent several weeks and many hours hand wrapping guides on a new blank and created the perfect handcrafted pole. On the maiden voyage he was trolling with it at the Berry and looked away for a second only to hear a splash and notice that his new pride and joy had disappeared never to be seen again. (Clearly it was also being towed around the lake by another 77 incher.) He got 10 minutes of fishing out of that custom job.
