Here are a few pictures of the decorative feather inlay for the rod being donated for this trip. Rod is 7'6", rated 20-40# line, moderate action with custom shaped eva grips. This baby will work great for jigging bass, bouncing big bucktails in the ocean for doormat fluke and pulling up big blackfish.

RFA-NJ Donation Raffle: here is the deal.
All items below including the Garone Custom Rod will be included in the general give -away Raffle. There is also a 50/50 Donation raffle. Donation Tickets for each raffle are 3 for $10.00 and an arm length (approx: 12+) for $20.00. Donations will be accepted at the boat prior to and during departure but I would like it to be done before we start Fishing. (1) One Prize per winning ticket but same person depending on # of tickets purchased can win multiple prizes.

The Garone Custom Rod will go the 1st winning ticket, after that it will be your choice from the list:

50/50 is One (1) winner:

Raffles will be held on the ride IN after Fishing and/or at the dock on return. All Depends on the length of the ride.

You need NOT be ON the trip but MUST be at the dock prior to departure to purchase Tickets. Tickets must be then placed with someone you trust that is ON the trip to identify during the raffle on board. We are not responsible for identifying your tickets if you are NOT on the trip and your "buddy" stiffs you. I will try to come up with another solution before the end of the day but thats the best I can do right now.

Current Prize List: (Over 60 Prizes)
