If you dont want anyone knowing that you bought a new fishing rod, make sure you buy it in black or a dark color if thats what you normally use.
^^Scenario^^
*steps out of car with micro guide veritas* (gleaming white)
hey you got a new rod (from my dad and my friend on back to back days), then came 21 questions
Who got it for you, how much did it cost,, then....What...you spent that on a rod!,,,,yadda yadda...It looks nice though they both complimented
To my friend: its a gift from my dad for xmas
to my dad: I used giftcards
No more questions after that, let me fish in peace
But I actually got 2 rods and a reel
The carbonlite went under the radar which I dont know how since it was paired with that odd colored carbonlite reel, but the rod isnt really flashy so I know what to buy if I have to make a secret purchase
So if you need to make any secret purchases buy something that will fly under the radar, especially if its out of the norm for you
