The Everglades Angler would like to thank our overseas customer from the Netherlands for taking part in the Orvis Children's Rod Swap Program. Marcel Karssies is the proud new owner of the New Super Fine 7' 3wt. Trout Bum. We also would like to thanks Naples resident and EA customer Dave Teper for hand delivering the rod.
Thanks Marcel and Dave.

Lets hope that Dutch Customs doesn't see this....

Nahh, that does not matter. It is the customs in the UK you have to worry about. Your transfer of the merchandise from the UK to the Netherlands was within EEC borders so no worries. Importing the goods into the UK without paying duties and taxes was your wrongdoing, I guess you will be "persona non grata" there

What did the US customs say about the Sage rod ? Or did they forget to check you?
