In m...I can top that...at least yours was unharmed. In my early days of ebay and collecting, I was primarily buying reels but I happened on a great combo, a mint rod and reel, a nice deal too, money-wise. I get the package and its a long triangle box and a square box at the bottom...well you would assume the bottom...the reel, well packed in newspaper(heavy) and a nice stout box, all taped up to the TIP END! There was and has been a permanent bend in that rod! I hollered at the seller and fussed but that was a done deal back in the old days. I think I still have the rod and reel. I remember a post at "Joes" that helped me staighten it, with a hair dryer.Fromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528596609995115295noreply@blogger.com
