I may just ask for one 6 ft 9 and one 7 ft 11 and just see what happens

I hope you do get both. It's deserving! I do admire your patience and humor.

Ask for a villain , why not upgrade? 

That's just pitiful.

That about says it. I've seen some real QC issues looking at Skeet rods in store with misaligned guides and one with a reel seat that spun around. None were that bad and have never seen issues on Abu stuff. That's just horrendous

I just told them send me the 6ft9 again...I inspected the larger rod heavily, the guides were bent somehow.. I was able to bend the smaller guides back into shape but the bottom guide is bent way too much to even be used, plus the insert is cracking. 

 

We shall see what happens on the next shipment.....

Mannnnnnnnn those eyes are cocked like a pistol........Hope everything works out better on this next shipment for ya bruh....

It was inspected Friday @ 4:59 in the factory and Chilis was serving 2 for 1's across the street and cockeyed Kevin had to be at his next job by 6?

Thats funny as hell

all sorted out now and Im smiling, stylin and profilin!

 

 

woo woo   oooooo   woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

Crazy that this has happened. On a side note, this is why I dont order rods online. I know this is replacement issue. When Shimano replaced a rod for me, it was in a 1/2" thick round tube, and the rod was wrapped in soo much bubble wrap that it could have been dropped from the FedEx plane and be OK. I hope they do right for you Diggy, otherwise I would be asking for them to get on their knees for forgiveness.

The 1st time was a box with bubble wrap...crack

 

2nd time was a huge rod tube that looked like super mario could use to teleport to another world  but 

 

 

3rd times the charms and I was duly compensated for my troubles

Two things.

 

1: I work for UPS and I know how things get handled, consider your packed to get kicked around and tossed like a football from truck to truck, this is what happens from a lot of guys. The guys who load trucks do not care, and a lot of the drivers do not care, if it says fragile, it might as well just say brake me. Sad but somewhat true where I work.

 

2: That being said I just ordered 2 Vendetta 2's from TW and they are being shipped buy UPS!! Haha, hope for the best, they will be here tomorrow I hope, so pray for me please!

Oh and if these rods come and are broken, or damaged or otherwise messed up, I will probably just ask for a refund and go to Gander MNT and just get 2 Croix rods.

 

the reels came in good order, so hope the rods do too.
