So I went swiming with my cell phone on Sunday trying to save a Rod.

Today the phone started working again.

I gave my phone a drink of water one time I took it apart and let it dry out and the phone started working again. I still had to replace it though. After a couple of weeks corrosion started building up on the electrical components and the phone went haywire. It would make funny noises and turn itself off and on. Hope you have better luck than I did but don't be surprised if you have to replace it.

I did this once before . and the phone laasted almost a year until I lost it in the lake again.

Well, I guess by the thread title....The rod got away??
Hope it wasn't one of those GLX/Calais combos.

Saved the rod. Falcon, Shimano combo.

And I thought I was the only one that had rods jump out of my boat!
