Steve, is a asset to this company!! He was so very patient and took the time to explain the different reels and poles.
I have already made a second purchase and again the transaction went through Steve.
All future purchases will be though steve. I live in Washington and have to pay duty but it's well worth it. It's true you get what you pay for.

Oki Big Shooter Flasher HC Custom - Hit N' Run
The flasher should be good; I am waiting for the winter run of chinook before I put it to good use

The flasher should be good; I am waiting for the winter run of chinook before I put it to good use. I've had some good luck with Oki big shooter flashers in the past.
