The Change Box Near The Front Door

[JET01]

Ladies and Gentleman...

This is a little bit on the random side of the house, so brace yourselves...

I'd like to remind you all of a very precious and sometimes forgotten commodity that is in most households.

It goes by a few names, some of you my call it a piggy bank or church change. I tend to use the rather politically incorrecty term "jew jar".

No offence to our hebrew bretheren. I digress.

I decided on getting a new light soft plastics rod as my 7'2 Starlo Stix has a little too much butt for my liking. So i've ordered a 2 piece 7'0 pflueger trion. One thing led to another, and i found myself shopping for a new real to go with the new rod. I noticed the Shimano Stadic Ci4, and after looking at all the specs of the 2500, and reading a few reviews, I didn't need any further thinking time. It sounded pretty perfect to me.

Only problem is i'm a little short of cash at the moment. Currently getting a Watersnake Bow mount installed, getting the 50hp engine serviced, and by the time that's all done the wallet will be $3000 lighter . My Stacer nomad 469 is going to set up exactly the way i want it, but i'll be stoney broke. Whilst trying to figure out how I was going to raise the funds something caught my eye... The JEW JAR!!!! I frantically ran across the loungeroom picking up the tub and throwing it onto the louneroom floor...

A short time later... $315.25 I checked out the BCF website to get a quick idea of how much it was going to cost me. I was stoked! Looks like i'll even have spare cash to put some Fireline on it.

So in short, don't forget the accumulative power of the jew jar... it may not look like much sitting there on the bench, but you all could be 15mins away from $300 bucks and a new fishing rod or reel.

Sounds like there are a few happy Ci4 owners out there at the moment. Looking forward to using it along with my new electric motor. Look out Hacking/Botany Bay flathead.

Jet01,

I hear you about the empty wallet. Same thing with my Stacer Barra Elite, service on the engine, move the cranking battery, install plug and wiring for electric motor, modify the boat cover going to be big $$$

Unfortunately I do not have a Jew Jar, thus I am looking at having to buy the item I want from overseas to try and save some dollars.

Sounds like a great setup, enjoy the shimano!

Regards,

Rob
