[knock down]

This post is a great read! Lot of great catches by alot of great Anglers ! Paul that Giant rod looks sweet , As far as the sales pitch & tacky comment goes , got news for ya , Paul has enough clients out there that know Him & His work ! Point being , the man doesn"t need any sales pitch!!!! His work & reputation speak for it's self! I doubt seriously if your going to find a quality Custom Made Giant Rod out there any where else for that Price ! , not to mention the man Stands behind his work 100%. Not finding fault with any ones thoughts , Just stating thae facts when it comes to JPR custom Rods . & yes I have more than one rod built by Paul , I can honestly say that his rods are AWESOME! Sorry to all out there for getting off track on this thread , Just felt like I had to voice my opinion on the sales pitch & tacky comment!
