I'm not quite there yet. Almost but not yet. Still have some more playing in the snow to do. I think the only thing new in my arsenal will be a 9' Okuma. I tried one last fall and loved it. The past two years I was using the 8'6" and could not put it down. I think the 9' will be in my hands more this year. It will definately keep me from bending over as much and that is a good thing when you are around Toad! LOL!

Have a great season everyone and good luck!
