I almost got that for my kid this christmas....guess that's off the list.

Michigan scares me with their unemployment rates....we are the worst state right now with the lost of jobs. To be honest,i fear for mine everytime i go to work.

check out the website message board...you'd be shock how many others have to go through this. Reading all those storys made me sad,angry and confused.

That would be what i would recommend starting out...either that one or the shimano citica combo.I love my citica,i'm on a semi tight budget so a citica is a expensive reel for me. I myself started on the bps extreme combo...still have it and use it.just not as much anymore.

Still have your receipt? Should show you didn't walk out with a rod...I don't think they will give you any problems over it specially if you go in the store.Call em' up and tell them what happened.They'll probably tell you to come right in and pick it up.

I'd say she "redeemed" you...I hope she starts pulling some arms and legs in the customer service department for the sake now.You might have just got the right person to see something is wrong and needs to be improved.I hear alot of storys about the customer service department being crappy.

This is interesting to read.I didn't know about some of this stuff.

6' falcon cara.

I second that...

I'd ask for a MANAGER right off the bat,if not tell them you'll be hearing from lawyers...try to scare them in a legal way.Try to stay as polite as possible as well....rudeness won't get you anywhere...lol. Being polite and bringing in the lawyer word..will surely confuse them.Should mean you mean business as well...

Stay away from it(vicious line)....That stuff tends to split like a banana after a backlash.... I wish i could take a picture of what i'm talking about.I won't buy that line ever again. I use BPS XPS as well but in 12# test...i really like it.

Gobys...hate,hate,hate em'....

We are @ $3.25 per gallon here around home...I was gonna get a moped scooter...but winter time i'd be frozen half way to work.My work is only 7 miles from here,no highways or freeways.All backroads.Problem is i don't want to shell out $600 for one.

Excellent thread...i learned something.

Just saw on news gas will be hitting $4 by Christmas/New years... OUCH...this sucks.

wow,i really regret picking up a spook instead of a sammy last weekend now.I was looking for the 80 model sammy's but all they had was the 65 and the 100's.65 looked too small and the 100s looked to big for me.

wow,i don't have problems with them here...i always get my stuff shipped the same week i order or the following week monday. i recall you spend a good amount on tackle....boy are they gonna lose a good customer like you.

Are you sure you ain't sneaking in exotic private ponds and going fishing in there? That's one bright colored carp!

yeah they bite....Sharp enough to make you bleed too.

yup.....Long as it's a name brand,sent it to reel mech and have him give it a clean up.You'll have a brand new reel all cleaned up for half the price it cost.

Those guys are awesome...i had one as a pet a few years back...i got it to 3 feet long + another foot long for the tail.I wouldn't wanna make them mad..they do get aggressive.

Indeed..Detroit lions are surprising me big times...
