Super User bigbill Posted September 26, 2013 Super User Posted September 26, 2013 My tackle room looks like it was turned upside down then set upright again. One of my problems is I have too many new fishing rods I'll probably never use. I been wanting to help kids in someway. Then Mike Siebert/Glenn here mentioned "tackle the storm". I contacted them and they put a fishing rod in every child's hands who lost everything here to a disaster. I can't think of a better way to give back to this sport than helping a the upcoming future fishermen and fisherwomen of America. I ask you if you have a new rod or a rod that's in New condition that you have sitting in your way that you may not need why not donate it to "Tackle the Storm" this is a great foundation to support were helping our own people all around our country in time of need. Giving someone a fishing rod setup is a gift that never stops giving. I'm sure that everyone has something to donate if you can. I talked with the tackle the storm people and they said they be happy to get what ever you have to support the cause. I'm going to support this foundation too. They can use are help. God bless, bigbill I hope I don't get into trouble for posting this. I just want to help our fellow Americans in time of need. I want to make a difference in our country. And it starts with our youth. Plus it also supports our sport too our youth is our future adult fisherman and fisherwomen too. We could be helping out a future bassmaster winner too. 4 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 26, 2013 Super User Posted September 26, 2013 BassResource.com has always supported this organization and our members are significant contributors. I believe we raised over $900 for the group at this year's banquet during the RoadTrip. The Moderators have designed custom jigs for Siebert Outdoors. Mike donates 75 cents for every Storm Series jig sold. 1 Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 26, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 26, 2013 RW, yes I know but I have many new rods that I'll never use and I'm sure I'm not alone. I also purchased the tackle the storm jigs from Mike too. I just want to give back for the kids. I'm slow because I'm still disabled but I'll getter done. I was in the room today. I'm sorry it's taking me so long to put it all together but I'll give more tackle in the end. I have 15+ years of buying stuff to sort out it's all new. I never drank or smoked so this is that money I used for fishing stuff I'd like to donate it now to the right cause. You guys did and are doing awesome in supporting this cause I just want to do my part too. Quote

Super User bigbill Posted September 27, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 27, 2013 I did already he is not far from me like two towns away. I'm filling a box with fishing rods now for him. A gift of a fishing rod is a gift that never stops giving. This is an awesome way to give back. Bigbill Quote
