Gander Mountain Thanks i will check them out.

Yea see i should have won one i would have put a Pinnacle reel on mine. LOL

Congrats to all the winners. I guess i will wait until fall of the year and get me one. Looks like Pinnacle is jumping up on the game of better gear. That is a very nice looking rod they are giving out.

I got my name in the hat to try to win one. I like the looks of the rods as well. If I don't win one I guess I will just have to buy me one. But it would be nice to win one

Is this a contest that we have to sign up for. Are do we just get picked out of a hat.

Well looks like the Pinnacle1 guy did the trick. They are sending me a new side cover for the reel at no charge. Now this is the type of service I was hearing from other ppl. If pinnacle takes care of there customers like this all the time they will be a good company to buy from. Thanks again Pinnacle1

Yea i tried out your little search...It was Funny. But i still don't find anywhere that show having a lot of there rods maybe one model here and one model there. Maybe there's just not a lot of them to pick from.

I got to try out some of the Yum F2 but i have not seen them in the pro shop yet. Maybe i am not looking for them to good.

Pinnacle1 I got your PM but I am unable to reply to it as it says I have not made 10 post on the forums yet. would have thought by now I would have 10 post. But anyways I am going to send you my address by e-mail Thanks for the reply. George Thomas

Yea I was hopping to hear from him on that Solene reel I just got. But I don't guess he is going to make it back to the forums to talk to us.

Ok after I glued the magnets back in place and took the reel apart and oiled it and greased it it seems to be working fine. I took it out on the lake today and used it all day long with out any trouble so i guess my glue job is going to hold up. I might by a side cover for it just to have in case i need it. Thanks for all your help Pinnacle >

I was just looking at the links on here and there is not a link to any shop are any one that sells pinnacle rods are reel. Is this a Sign

Where can i buy a Pinnacle rod at. I have never seen them in any of the stores that sell there reels.

I don't think the rep here is going to bite this one. It has been posted for three days now and no bites.

Yes 100%.... And what makes it so bad is all i have ever heard from ppl online is how good the service department at Pinnacle is. Yea i think i will stick with my Other reel company for now on. Unless something changes this reel is going in the junk box.

Hey guys i am new to this forum and i found out we have a pinnacle rep on site i thought i would ask a Q about my new Solene reel i just got. Ok First thing i got this reel off E-bay. It was new in the blister pack when i got it. The guy i got it from is not a dealer for Pinnacle so i guess this is where the trouble starts. Got the reel out of the pack put it on a new rod and spooled it up with 50# Spiderwire braid line. took it out in the yard to give it a test run and oh man. This puppy is making a loud noise when you cast it. so i cast it two more times. well then i take it back in the house took it off the rod and i take the left side cover off the reel only to find that one of the two magnet strips is laying in the bottom of the case cover. so i think to myself this is not a prob i can fix it. so i took the magnet plate out of the reel glued the magnet strip back in place. Now i have it back on the rod and i am back in the yard first cast loud noise again. so i keep casting the reel and the noise never gets any better. Well i go in get online and e-mail Pinnacle about it. Today i get a e-mail from a guy named Don from Southeast Expo Rod and Reel Service, he tells me to call there parts line and let the guy there know what i need. so i did, talk to a guy named Martin and he tells me that i can't get just the magnet strip for the reel i have to buy a complete left side cover for the reel. Price 14.50+ shipping Now i am thinking i got a brand new reel and i am going to have to buy a side cover for it. then i got to find out what is making that grinding noise when i cast it i might as well toss this sucker in the trash and start over. If i send it to them to fix they are going to charge me for parts and labor then i have to pay shipping both ways I would be better off just getting a new reel and calling the solene a loss. Now lesion learned. Don't buy a reel on e-bay you could wind up like me and not have a dang thing to show for your money. Pinnacle won't even talk to ya about fixing it even though i got it new in the package unopened. Lesion two you get what ya pay for. Next time i buy a new reel it will come from a walk in store and it want be a cheap line reel. Spend the extra money and buy a good reel from the get go. Now i am done fussing. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. And by the way this seems like a great forum.
