Important Message from Lamar

Dear RodMaker,
Unfortunately we will have to close the shop for the next several weeks. My wife
and I recently lost a close member of the family due to illness. To that end, we will be traveling out of town for several days to attend the funeral. Upon returning next week, we will remain closed in order to prepare for the National RodBuilders Show in Charlotte NC. We will be leaving Texas to attend the show on Feb 20th and Returning on March 2nd. Lamar will officially re-open for business on March 3rd. I regret any impositon this puts on the Rodbuilders, but it seems that time is at a premium over the next 10 days, and being pretty much a 1 man operation, I need all the help I can get to prepare for the show.

In the meantime, if you have a need for ThreadMaster Finish or Exotic Burl, we invite you to make your purchase through one of our authorized distributors:

Bingham Enterprises 913-897-6657
MudHole Tackle 407-447-7637
Angler's Workshop 360-225-9445

Thanks so much for your understanding in this matter, and we look forward to seeing many of
you in Charlotte!

Looking forward to serving all of you in 2006.

Regards,

Andy Dear

Thanks guys...normally I'd just bite the bullet and keep things goin, but I REALLY don't want to show up in Charlotte half prepared! All of you guys are traveling a long way to the show, and you deserve to get the best from us vendors. So, I just need a few extra days after we get back from the funeral to get everything "show ready"

Thanks for your understanding.
