    I actually know a guy from Elkin! I’ll see if I can find out more about this fisherman? and get back with the dirt.

    My brother-in-law used a Dora the Explorer fishing rod two years ago at Lake Cherokee and caught a bass. Think some of the Bassmasters people may want to stock up on children’s fishing rods!

    My source failed me! He didn’t know the guy but he did know the grocery store where the fish was weighed. Who cares about that! Needless to say I passed the information along to my husband and he is looking into tuning up the Spiderman rod my son has been using. I guess you can’t knock it until you try it.
