How about a $500 FDx Rod for our first Adopt A Family Raffle   

The rod label "RS RX6 SP844 7-0 MH-Mod Fast 10-20 LB 1/4-3/4 oz"

While I'm gonna keep it simple, there are some unique things to cover.

- We need to sell 100 entries before we draw for the rod. Normally I don't do this many, but this is a large item.

- I also have a Dobyns Reel to give away! For every 5 entries that you buy you will get one entry into the reel drawing. It's a Red 7.2:1. NOTE: Get for your fishing friends to buy entries and they will be under your name  ;)  You just have to handle who's who. There is no limit here... 5 entries is one for you!

- People buying tickets will be allowed to pick their numbers. So buy your tickets right away and tell me what numbers you want (1-100) this will go by time stamps in the forum or personal message to me.

- Almost forgot to mention. FD will be putting the winners name on the rod before he ships it out to the winner.

Entries for the FDx rod are $20 each.
Entries for the Dobyns Reel are 1 for every 5 entries purchased for the FDx rod

- Paypal
- Venmo ubmike
- contact me about Zelle
- Checks are also accepted

Basic disclaimer, rules are subject to change. Shipping outside the CONUS will be split with winner.

I'm attaching some photos and in further threads I will attach a spreadsheet listing the numbers and where everyone is landing.

This is fixed, please use for ticket purchase

Got it, thank you.

Mike,

You see my PM.  Can I have #9?

Yes sir

I am not seeing a option to do that

Quote from: Todd Divelbliss on June 24, 2023, 08:26:41 PMI am not seeing a option to do that

Todd do you mean the option to send a PM? If so here's how to do it:

If you are on a computer you can do it 2 ways. The easiest way is to look under the person's screen name. Right below their Post count you will see a couple of icons. Click the one that looks like a person with a pen next to it and this will open the box to send them a PM.
Or you can click their screen name to go to their profile. On the left had side of their profile page under their picture is a list of options. The second option is Send PM.

If you're on a phone using Tapatalk just tap their screen name to get to their profile page. There will be two big red boxes at the top and the one on the right says Message. Tap that to send them a PM.

Hope this is helpful and if I misunderstood your question and this is not what you meant I apologize for taking up your time.

Mike, Thanks for doing this. I sent you a PayPal.

I Sent PayPal a few days ago. Haven't been able to back get on until today for some reason. #17 if available

Got you down for 17, thank you for your support.

Mike, Did my PayPal go thru?

Quote from: bassmedic46 on June 30, 2023, 05:43:56 PMMike, Did my PayPal go thru?

Yes I did, thank you very much. I'm going to have the kids pick your numbers randomly and I'll send them to you.

As soon as I get Bassmedic46's numbers added I'll be posting a spreadsheet so everyone can see the numbers already chosen.

Bassmedic46, I just sent you a message, as soon as you reply I'll lock it in and post the spreadsheet for the first time.

Mike did you get my message?

Yes sir I did. Fell off the grid for a few days but I'm back... Let me get the spreadsheet posted.

Here is a current spreadsheet of the numbers that are taken.

Okay Folks it's time to get the word out and get your buddies to buy tickets, don't forget for every five that are under your name, you get an entry into the reel. Only 20 entries for the reel, the more you get the better your odds :-*

Bassmedic thank you for your additional ticket purchase. The kids have picked your numbers and I'll get them to you in a PM.


I'm attaching the updated spreadsheet so everyone will know what numbers are available. Please check the spreadsheet before sending your number choices to me. I will use payment times to determine who gets the numbers first should we still step on each other, it's happens. When it does I'll notify you to pick a new one to replace the specific number that you were beat too  ;)

Just want to remind everyone and bring this to the top for folks that may have missed it... We got a little ways to go before we can draw for this amazing rod ~c~  ~c~

I'll sweeten the pot!

I'll add another custom 7 ft rod in your choice of power and action for the winner!

Mike,
Just sent you PayPal for 2 tickets I'll take numbers 10 and 50 if available.

FD has lost his mind!! You guys better take advantage of this deal ASAP!!  :shocking:  :shocking:

Thank you Twocold, I've got you added to the spreadsheet attached below.Rod Raffle for forum.xls

KEEPIN THIS UP TOP.

That is crazy FD.

Bump

I know this is an early Adopt A Family prize and it's worth quite a bit but it's only lunch to us, it' could be a life changing event for our family this year.

Oh if you read through the thread FD put up a second rod for this raffle so how can you go wrong for $20...

Unfortunately I can't put anything in till next Friday.

Thank You Bassmedic, you've got several in already. I need a few people to keep you from buying it all  ~bb

Come on folks, a twenty dollar chance at winning two rods, one of them worth over $500 and probably the most sensitive rod many of us have held :-*

When is the deadline

Just an update to the spread sheet. If you have specific numbers you want, please check the spreadsheet first. Thank you.

Still plenty of room to get in ~c~  ~c~  $20 shot at a $500 rod with an extra rod as a bonus...

Got another update. Thank you everyone for supporting the Adopt A Family program.

Here is the spreadsheet

Thank you Mike for putting all this together.

I'm building the regular Adopt A Family raffle so I need to wrap this one up. We are only about halfway to the goal.

If you haven't already bought a ticket it's time to get in on the action. Two rods up for grabs!!!!

Mike,  I can send a check if it's not too late.  I dumped Paypal when they went nuts.  Can you still use them as a guest?   I have a Stripe account, but not a Paypal account anymore.  Let me know.  I'd like to pitch in this year as usual.

I have an FD custom rod and I must say that Lee is on heck of a craftsman. The winner will get a couple of incredible rods. Let's make some money for a needy family.

Yes sir I can take a check. I'll send you a message. I'm not sure what a Stripe Account is. And I don't think PayPal will let you as a guest unless I bill you and then they want a piece. A check is fine.

Check on the way.  I included the amount in the second message to you so you can keep track of the figures.

I sent PayPal for another 2. Thank you Mike for putting all this together.

I got it Bassmedic and sent you the numbers the kids picked for you...

Looks like we're running out of time. I really need to kick off the actual Adopt a Family raffle so we are going to close this one out on Wednesday the 15th of November. As of right now only a little over half the tickets are sold, so lots of room to get a lucky number and win an amazing prize pack.

Look for the Annual Adopt A Family to start any day now. :-*  :-*

Sorry Guys, I got sick last week... my own fault... but I'll get this drawing set up and done tonight or tomorrow for sure.
