Just thought I'd share the positive experience I had with the fishin hole (north loacation) I had yesterday.
I met geezle there first thing in the morning as I was looking for a particular rod that I was not able to get at cabelas or WSS. Well like alot of fishing crazed maniacs my shopping spree ended with 2 Rods, a new reel, and a bag full or hardware and misc. gear totalling around $400.
So we headed down to the river for the day, I set up my new sturgeon rod and reel and chucked out some bait, after some time I thought I would chuck some hardware on the new rod in which I went there specifically for. (Abu Garcia split grip 6' 6' medium heavy) which pairs great with the Pflueger reel i had purchased earlier in the week. So fishing was decent and the third cast I was on to a 2lb walleye!! I had bent over the bank to grab it holding tention on the rod with my other hand and SNAP!! There goes the top 8" of the rod! The rod retails for $89.99 FYI. So I was a little upset as I was nothing but carefull with it, I purchased the rods elastic things put it right in the back seat of my truck a small walk to the river bank so there was really no way I could have damaged it previous to use?
Long story short I stopped in the fishin hole on my way home and explained the situation and although maybe reluctant? Or a weird sense of humor? They replaced the rod hassle free.
Just wanted to thank them for giving me the benefit of the doubt as I was completely honest with the situation. And it was very nice of them to be understanding and coopertive.
With service like this I will continue to come to you guys for all my fishing needs in the future.
