Alright, let’s talk about them fishing poles, the 13 Fishing Meta Rods. I heard some folks sayin’ these are good, so I figured I’d tell ya what I know, or what I heard anyways.
First off, they say some fella named Gerald Swindle, a big shot fisherman, “Personally tuned and meticulously tested” these rods. Sounds fancy, huh? Means he messed around with ’em a bunch, I guess, makin’ sure they ain’t junk. They also call him “GMAN.” City folks and their nicknames, I tell ya.
Now, you can get these rods at that place, Dick’s Sporting Goods. I seen it on the internet. They got all kinds of fishin’ stuff there, not just these Meta rods. But we’re talkin’ ’bout the Metas, so let’s stick to that.
- Casting Rods: They got these “casting” rods. I ain’t sure what that means exactly, but it sounds like you throw the line out far, real far. Maybe good for them big fish in the lake.
- Guides and Handles: These rods got what they call “stainless steel guide frames” and “polished Alconite inserts.” Sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me, but they say it helps the line go out smooth and lasts a long time. The handle is made of that foamy stuff, EVA they call it. Comfy, I reckon.
I also heard tell that some other company, Rapala, bought out 13 Fishing. You know, them companies always buyin’ each other up. Confusin’ if you ask me. But they say Rapala might start makin’ these rods too, under their own name. So keep an eye out, I guess.
What kinda fishin’ are these rods good for? Well, they don’t say exactly, but from what I gather, these ain’t no little kid poles. They say when your young’uns get to be teenagers, they can use a regular-sized rod. So I figure these Metas are for grown-ups, or maybe them teenagers who think they’re all grown up.
13 Fishing, they say they wanna make stuff for folks who are serious ’bout fishin’. “Back your unique brand of intensity” they call it. Sounds like they’re talkin’ to them fellas who fish all day, every day. Me, I just fish when I can, when the chores are done and the weather’s nice.
They talk about “supreme level of commitment.” Land sakes! It’s just fishin’! But I guess some folks take it real serious. And that’s alright, I reckon. To each their own.
So, are these 13 Fishing Meta Rods any good? Well, I ain’t used one myself, but from what I hear, they ain’t bad. Seems like they’re made pretty good, with all that fancy talk about stainless steel and whatnot. And if that GMAN fella says they’re good, well, maybe they are. He’s supposed to be a big shot fisherman, after all.
But you know what I always say, the best fishin’ pole is the one that catches fish. Don’t matter how fancy it is, if it don’t catch nothin’, it ain’t worth a dime. So if you’re thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ one of these Meta rods, do your research. Read some reviews, talk to some folks who used ’em. And then, if you still want one, go ahead and get it. But don’t blame me if it don’t catch ya no fish! That’s on you
