BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted June 13, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted June 13, 2013 Very soon, Tackle The Storm Foundation is going to announce a huge undertaking involving possibly 100's of children, young adults, and their families. It will be our largest donation of rods and reels to date and for the last couple weeks I have been scrambling to stock our warehouse in Alabama with as much fishing stuff as we can get our hands on, but we need money to do that...so after dinner tonight Barb walked out the front door to take Riley for a walk, and was shocked to see a very long skinny box leaning up on the porch.The universe works in mysterious ways because inside the box, were one of a kind fishing rods...one of a kind made by Adam Murray and the kind folks at CastAway Graphite Rods.CastAway went out and created a very, VERY limited edition of Tackle The Storm Foundation rods, beautifully done, and then had their four Elite Pros,Marty Robinson, Bill Lowen, Russ Lane and Todd Faircloth autograph a rod each.As soon as I get back from the Elite Tournament in Wisconsin I will put these rods up for auction on Ebay,, and every dime raised will go to buy the things we need to help all the children we have pledged to help. These rods could not have found a better time to be sitting on our front porch...then they did today.CastAway Graphite Rods...you rock guys, 5 Quote

TxAdam Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks for the kind words! db sent me a link to this thread and I just had to register so I could thank everyone for their comments and support. The response to this little project has been absolutely overwhelming and I just cannot get over the generosity of the folks in this community. If you have not yet heard, all four rods sold the very next day after db had posted them on his Facebook page. The average selling price was $400 each!! This is going to buy a lot of tackle for some very deserving kids. I've followed db's fantastic writing for many years and finally got the chance to meet him at the Classic last year. As soon as he told me about his foundation, I knew we just had to do something to help out. CastAway is blessed with an amazing Elite Series pro staff and we all agreed that this would be a great way to help out db and some pretty amazing children. We look forward to doing more stuff like this in the future...it has to be one of the most rewarding parts of an already awesome job! Thanks again for all of your comments, support and allowing me to join your forum. I look forward to getting to know all of you better in the future. 1 Quote
