Yeah surfstix, a lot of people might not know how famous R-P is getting. Ray at Sting Ray tackle came to him for help and input designing a rod for surfcasters. I think he named it the Rip-Plugger line or something like that. Maybe if he's not too shy he or someone else who knows a bit more about the rods can come post up in here or another thread about them.

I heard he's gonna start charging for autographs soon, but ya get one for free if ya buy a rod....
