I lost my blue Shimano 7' fishing rod with a red reel yesterday around 3pm near the Safeway on the Sterling Highway in Soldotna, in the Kenai Peninsula. It's a mid-range graphite rod, blue with black wraps, and the cork handle has a small dent. The reel is bright red with a scuffed chrome spool, and there's a white label with the initials 'JP' taped near the butt. It was a gift from my dad, and I use it for weekend salmon fishing with my buddy—sentimental value, and I really need to get it back.
