    Overall great video! A very interesting behind the scenes look into what most guys put on the CZcamss with mostly glory shots and new product pitches. One thing I can appreciate is when y’all were eating and you had that “I’ve been working this fishing show all day” look. I’ve stood next to kayaks at a couple Houston Fishing Shows and after hours on your feet, talking to a couple hundred people and sharing the love for kayak fishing… definitely feel that moment when you are like “I finally get to eat and chill for a minute.” Wouldnt trade it for the world though. Always good to shake hands with fellow anglers and see all the new stuff… and you got to do it at the biggest fishing expo of the year! Thanks for taking us along!

    As someone who takes rods on a plane multiple times a year, it's free as your 2nd bag on Southwest and only the cost of a 2nd bag on other airlines. An 8ft rod tube is cheap and does fit in cars that aren't Smart cars. Never had a rod break on a plane either. Super easy and would recommend. Or if you want dedicated travel rods, get 2 piece rods and a collapsible rod tube.
