I guess we all have one of those stories. I was fishing one hot August afternoon and could not buy a bite. I figured I would run down river to another spot and half a$$ flipped my Rod Saver strap across my rods. A couple miles down river another boat comes down an adjoining river and out into the river I was running down. I wasn't catching any fish so I was not about to pass up a good chance of showing off how fast my boat was. I push her up to about 95 mph and was gaining fast. I catch a flicker on the front deck and notice the Rod Saver strap start peeling back the Velcro. Just as I start easing out of the throttle it rips open and two Loomis/Daiwa combos take flight. That made for a long ride home to say the least.
