Hey Guys,
That sure is nice of all three of you. 

I was kind of joking about borrowing one.  Breakage or theft.  If you really mean it then please let me know.  My cell is 501-472-6680.  I can at least discuss rods in case I buy one.

John,  I bought a Orvis BBS Mid Arbor V.  It handles 9-11 wt line.  I can pick me up a line.

Jimmy T, I think we will just use Maxima for leaders.  One of the guys has plenty of that.  If any of you have recommendations "for sure things" to take then please let me know and I will pass them on.

I did see where they talked about drifting indicators as an option.  Any recommendations on some of those to take?  Those thingabobbers (sp) seem expensive.  I would think some crappie slip corks would work fine??

Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you. 

Davy, I know all about you but I have never met you.  I look forward to meeting a legend.

 JW and JT are legends too but only in their minds.  Just joking.

Rick
