I lost one earlier this year a white 6' MH casting rod with a gold Shimano Real with high visibility mono on it.

Crazy,  but that is an exact description.  I'm glad  I caught it or I would have been skunked.  I'm  in Plain City.   I'd be happy to run it to you, meet you somewhere, or you can grab it here when you're out this way.  Message me and we can make a plan.
