Thanks everyone, and I forgot to thank RW, who always agrees to put pictures
up on his website for me.

The rod has a guarantee and I've already sent it back. It's a TFO and it
broke between the legs of one of the guides. It seems like I got my nail
knot up into the guides and when I was trying to take the photos I broke the
rod. On the way home we got to stop at the Bass Pro Shop in Ft L, and I
bought an "old model" 4 piece TFO 8 weight for $80! Then I took Heidi to
the world's largest outlet mall and since my license was still good
(coincidence?) I went down and spent a couple hours casting into those big
canals, looking for snook. Alas, I didn't find a snook but I did see a
little gator and a big carp and the 8 wt. is very smooth and strong.

If we ever try to swing a sal****er clave it'd be a great place and we could
rent Kayaks from Jason each day.
