what happened too?

Lance from Swampland Tackle? I bought allot of supplies from them. He and Bill Stephens were good friends, and Swampland went out of business. I just placed an order with VooDoo Rods and I see they are out of Louisiana too, just wondering if Lance may be involved.

He got hit by the hurricane this summer which made a mess of his shop but then moved to a new facility up the road. He’s up and running in the new location - can find him on Facebook / not sure the status of his website

Yes, I know. I was looking thru all the sponsors, they had some interesting things and I placed an order. It's already shipped, can't wait to get it.

Swampland never went out of business. Bill passed away a couple of years ago. Lance is doing the same thing he's always been doing, and is actually hosting a rod building event in a couple of months
