If everyone is signed up, in the water, ready to go......we'll go sooner. But we have guys launching at other locations and boating over. Trying to give everyone time to travel safe.

I'm not positive on 250 but I just priced a 150 and 150 HO and it was $400. Shoot me your phone number. My email GaryD@Dobynsrods.com

I have a 250 HO that needs a home. I'm tied up for couple of hours then I can call you.

Dobyns makes two shorter handle SB rods for Glide Baits. The traditional 13"-15" handles get in the way. We make a pair of 7'9" we call SBMT- (Swim Bait Mag Topwater) The rod you really need is Champ 795 SBMT. It was made for this.
