George, I was the one that found this rod...it was in the middle of the road but still in one piece. I just found this site; sorry that this has taken so long. Just one final question to be thorough...what reel is on the rod? Not sure if this post goes to email...but Ill check back here.
Hopefully this is a happy ending! Nice that a good guy came across it first. Many have been less fortunate. Interested in the outcome and story, sounds like it got a short car ride.
Hi George, I left you a message in your inbox with my number saturday, not sure if it showed up toyour email. I live just north of Seattle...give me call and get your rod fishing again. Justin.
