becoming a Dobyn's only bass fishing guide boat!! Just got off the phone with Chelsea, and placed my order for 10 Sierra's  :o

Bait casting reels have been in, and I have been testing those for the last couple of months, and the spinning reels are on their way!! Fingers crossed, hopefully I will be official soon!! Stay tuned!!

Lou with regards to the reels you acquired.  How did you determine the mix of LH vs RH retrieve products.

FD and I each have 4 B/C reels specifically for LH retrieve. In the event that I need to change lines, I can just swap out spools since all the reels are same.

Lol!! 10 to be exact. I'll open in up tomorrow to see how they packed 10 rods into that big tube.

I would bet 5 laid handles facing 1 way and 5 the other. So watch the tips when unpacking!

Cool, tx.

Looks like you are set up for rods and reels. Now to stock up on baits. Customers tend to go through baits faster than you would.

I know where you can get a deal on corks and bream hooks....   ;D


Congratulations on the new business.  I can imagine that this is the longest couple months of your life waiting on your license to come.  It gives you time to get everything else ready,  but it has to be a terrible waiting game.
