Fishing Rods

Has anyone else ever forgot to hook their rod straps on the deck of their boat before taking off? I forgot to strap one of mine down today and lost a LTX II paired with the new Revo Premier reel.
I ran about a mile in pretty rough water and when I got to my next spot I had realized what I had done. I got the worst feeling in my stomach. I had only been fishing about an hour and was catching a few fish, but needless to say, I felt so bad I just headed to the launch ramp and called it a day.
Someone tell me this has happened to them....

Yes, I have heard plenty of bad stories. The good news is you lost one and not a bunch. I had stories come in of people losing multiple rods at once. The reasons are from waves, kicking rods over, transoms breaking and turning the boat hard, co anglers, etc. It is never good when you lose a rod.

Dont feel Sad....It happen to.....my partner too. He lost 3 heliums and 2 Calais and 1 Abu Garcia Morrum ,

He forgot to use the straps too, add rough waters and VOILA, 3 combos dissapear in an Eye Blink

So, dont feel sad... , this things happens to everyone, all the time

BRAD I'm sure this at one time or another will happen to all of us.my friend had this happened to him and his ins. covered it.you may want to ck with your agent.
