I am trying to organize a way to get some tackle to our troops overseas. There is a company back east gathering donations and I was wanting to do the same out here. Many of us use fishing as a way to get away from the grind of everyday life. Imagine what our soldiers have to deal with on a daily basis. I would say they more than deserve a chance to get away also. In a recent Bassmaster article, it was said that most of the soldiers that fish, do not have any tackle of any kind. They are making rods, making line out of parachute cord and using slim jims as bait. I think they deserve better. I was just hoping for a resonse from other people to see if anybody would be interested in donating tackle of any kind.(line, hooks, sinkers, baits) I am working out details as we speak. Thanks.
