unbelievable...mentioned to a workmate that I was looking for a topwater rod, he says "I got one at home, I will bring it in for you".
So as not to sound rude I say "cheers mate"...the next day he says "I got that rod here for you", we walk to his desk and he hands me a custom Saltywater tackle "Race Point 200"...I nearly fell over, this thing is absolutely beautiful....cant wait to try it out...thanks bro....

No Smudge, they certainly don't...
It's an amazing rod. I have only ever seen one other and that was among a collection of Synit, Carpenter, Temple Reef and Ripple Fisher and rated by the owner as his 2nd favourite after the Synit VD...and this guy just casually hands it to me saying "here you go"...

Yeah Legacy...I hardly know this guy and was really not expecting much.
It would be a massive understatement to say I was surprised...I was speechless....
