What do you think, with the reel not operating correctly and the seller's negative attitude, is this worthy of a negative feedback? I'd say it's borderline, but probably yes, even though the issue was solved in minutes with a simple inspection.

Well, yes I guess you do have a point here.  But I was somewhat aggressive myself when I wrote to him after receiving the reel.  So maybe I'm partly to blame, too.

Anyway, I think I'll just leave it as it is for now.  The reel is casting beautifully and I really love the way it handles.

Now I wondering if I should also get a CORE 51?

Yes, indulge.  You only live once.

You're right.  I am definitely NOT James Bond. . .

Only one CORE?? ;D

Come on, LAO.

Do you think we're all as rich as you?

This wasn't an eBay buy, it was an 'email the guy and buy outside of eBay' buy.
