yep, like Ron White says " You can't fix stupid "

[Siwash]

Even better than the regular (white) PVC is the black ABS plastic. It's substantially thicker. I think I remember getting a 10-foot section for around $10-12, which is enough for at least a couple regular 2-pc rods. Throw in a pair of end caps, and it's still way cheaper than an aluminum tube, and I can stand/stomp on it with my full weight with zero give.

Actually the guy holding the rod was the person he sent it to for some minor repairs.

But it doesn't say Fragile on the Box, Oh wait. :smash:
Hey, I can fix that!! I swear to Gawd, man! :passout:

Gives the term "GOING POSTAL" a whole new meaning :hoboy:

[PDXSteelhead]

little duct tape, it'd be as good as new :smile:

It looks like they ran over the tube with a truck.
