andy m this is not directed at you, since when did the games become judge and basically jury, the law is the law what right do the have to say you can set a rod for your kids but not for some one else, i mean like mentioned befor, what if some one from out state or in state for that matter but doesn't know what end of the pole is up.even though there not a kid why can't some one set there rod i don't believe the laws were made (in this case) on age or ability. can't hve it both ways
