That's awesome! Do you know who makes the rod with the bright blue blank that Biffle's been using on the Elite series? Was he using one of those blue rods when you saw him?

Quantum. Its his signature stick.

Bfrezzy. That is so cool. I had the same experience and still do. A friend of mine passed away and the family asked me to sell his boat. I put it on craig`s list. A guy called me and said his name was Charlie. When his wife and he pulled up ,he said I am Charlie Youngers. I said I have heard that name before. He said ,I fished the bass masters elite tounaments but I am retired now do to back problems. It was neat to have a bass masters elite tournament fisherman in your drive way. He looked at the boat and said in 2 minutes I will take it. He moved from Florida to Palistine, Tx. We have to deliver the boat to him on the 15th. I have pics with him and he gave us his flyers and business cards and one is the bassmasters elite cards. He was down to earth. Great guy. Just had to share that.

Thanks Mark. I know it's kinda sliding off topic, but I just looked at his sig sticks on Tackle Warehouse (I think they're great looking rods!) It's ironic that on the 7'2" MH spiral wrap I just built, I used the same Fuji ACS reel seat, grips/handle config....maybe some subliminal influence <G>. Interesting placement of the hook keeper.

Its cool to talk with these guys we have Jeff Kreit and Mike McClelland staying at the Bass Club and Jason Quinn and some others are across the street from my house at 429 marina.
