To bad I just can't seem get my hands on another original rod, new ones just aren't the same. Time for me to get a new ORIGINAL mod and put it away for down the road, you just don't know what could happen, regulations etc. Who knows some time down the road give it to my grown grandson letting him know they just don't make them like they use to. Time for another REO, (Grand this time) can't go wrong tested and true. So many of the others have (failed) already come and GONE! Anyone ever do a CO OP on the REO's?
