It has been showing everything Shimano as out of stock for me since yesterday.

I got a metanium within 5 or 6 days of ordering it.couldn’t believe how quick it came.

Well, since we have a thread just for BPS/ Cabelas maybe they should make one for Dick's too! ? I understand why they moved it. The Sale thread has been getting hijacked quite a bit lately with issues like this.

It wasn't a flash sale but it did say "While supplies last." However, I think I understand people's frustration. For me it is not about the reel, it is about the methods these companies use to draw in customers. In my case, they waited 2 1/2 days to tell me that my stradic order was cancelled which just happened to be at the same time they told me that my other merchandise already shipped. I have a hard time believing that BPS cannot monitor inventory in real time and can't prevent you from making purchases on items that are sold out. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems more likely that they they don't tell you it is sold out because people often add additional items to their cart when they think they just got a good deal and have free shipping. At the end of the day, they can do what they want and people can spend our money elsewhere if we want. Since this isn't the first time I have been frustrated with BPS I think I will just spend my money elsewhere. Doesn't ruin my day I just move on.

I’ve never had an issue even with larger diameter line. I do 10 wraps and cut the tag ends as close as possible, and I don’t use super glue. I do not have any micro guides on any of my rods either though. Shin’s knot looks pretty good. Can anyone with experience with it speak to the pros and cons? Very curious to know if the knot strength is comparable to the Alberto.

Same thing happened to me. Will never order a rod from them again.

I really like my Dobyns Fury rods but have heard good things about the Falcon Lowrider. Which would you pick and why? What are your favorite rods in their line up? thanks!
