Big T-Doc suggested you bring a thumb drive if you would like a copy of days presentation, we can download for you.

🎣 Special Presentation at Team Jo-Jo’s August  16 2025 Gathering! 

We’re excited to announce that Team Jo-Jo’s one and only Big T-Doc will be making a special presentation on fishing rods at our August gathering!

Big T-Doc has been building and repairing rods for over [insert years, if you'd like] years and brings unmatched expertise to the table. His fully stocked rod-building laboratory (see attached pictures!) is filled with rods, reels, guides, eyes, thread, finishes, and everything you can imagine.

He’ll be bringing a selection of custom-built casting, spinning, and fly rods for all to see, feel, and learn from — a hands-on opportunity to take heed of his talent and craftsmanship.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or just rod-curious, bring your questions — this is a session you don’t want to miss.

🎣 Hope to see you there!
