Free Kidde Pole

Post by Rollin with Rolland » Sat Oct 04, 2008 11:30 am

Just thought I'd post this up.....

A friend of mine found a brand new 30" kiddie pole (like the one used to land the North Carolina state record catfish) 30ft down at the bottom of a lake while scuba diving. He was going to throw it in the garbage, but I said wait a minute, some kid could use that!! Anyway, It's blue/aqua, 30" medium action (best I can tell) Wilcor rod with a closed face light duty reel, adjustable drag, 60 yrd capacity (8 lb mono). 3:1:1 gear ratio. Both guides fully intact.

Actually, not a bad little rod. I gave it a few casts in the yard, and with a 3/8 oz splitshot I can cast it probably 20 yards (already got it snagged in the tree :-$ ). I would consider keeping it for Ice fishing, but I got to may of those already (ice fishing poles that is, not kidde poles #-o ). So, it's like new, no rust, full spool (new line also), with a splitshot and hook on it already!! It's probably pretty inexpensive, but $10 is $10.....

Anybody nearby that wants it, it's yours. Hopefully it can get a kid started on an enjoyable life long hobby...

Awww man, I'd be all over that for my 4yr old niece!!!

...but with the price of gas it would probably be better to just pick one up on sale.

When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.
