LOL, good read, thanks.

I recently lent my buddy my 2 party boat deck hand rods with reels, because his team at work was going to do an over night boat trip out of H&M Landing. He emailed me on Monday saying they caught a few fish, but that he thinks he may have bought my rods. UGH, "What Happened" I asked. They both came out of the back of the truck, he said he saw one land tip down and the spring in the the air, then crashing down on the street. So once I got them back on my hands, My reels (not the expensive ones) had some scars lke yours, but the Guides on my rods were thrashed. I dropped them off at Hogan's Bait in Dana Point, and spend $120 to replace most of the eyes on both rods and the butt on one of them.

Moral of the story? Don't lend your fishing gear out. And double check everything is tied down.
