I was fishing a tournament on eagle mountain sat and my kistler argon with the skeeter owners logo came out of the boat while running back up the lake. It has a silver h2o mettle reel w/ a pearl red eye diver on it. It has cork handles so it should float. Pretty sure it is gone forever, but just thougt I would post here in the slight chance someone found it. was too rough to try to find it on sat. If found, please give me a call at 817-691-8904. Thanks.

It's going to take more than cork handles to float a rod with a Mettle on it lol. Sorry for your loss man.

There's a H2O Express Mettle on an All Star rod (cork) sitting on the bottom of the lake in Daingerfield State Park. Both of them nearly brand new. I dropped it the first time I took out my first kayak. It sank slowly, but still sank.

I'd hate to say it. I think your combo is history. Had a buddy lose a Chronarch and Kistler a month or 2 ago. Said it dropped a 1/2 a foot a second...He tried for 2 weeks to snag it w/no luck on EM...

Although, 2 combos I know that float...And all I can say is Thank God they do...

Steez reel w/a Steez Comp-X as well as a Steez w/a Dobyns Champ 703.

well, buddy told me it would float, but didn't think so. Figured it was history. Part of fishing i guess. Gives me a reason to tell the old lady I need to go buy a new combo.

. . .it's gonna take a life jacket to float a Mettle. That's my only complaint about them. . .they're heavy as hell.
