Steez / Cumulus Decisions...

Hey all What would you buy... A Shimano Cumulus 6'10 M spinning rod or a Daiwa Steez Compile-X 6'8' ML extra fast spinning rod. So what would you buy and why???

Re: Spinning Reel Bail Issue

Thank you very much for going the extra mile. Definitely shows you care about customer satisfaction. Should I say you were in contact with them prior to me shipping the reels?

Re: Spinning Reel Bail Issue

I will send them out tomorrow. I took a look at the link you posted, does it matter that the stratic 2500FH is no longer on the serviceable list anymore? And do I pay the return shipping as well? Or just one way to shimano?

Thank you

Re: Spinning Reel Bail Issue

No, neither reel has ever been disassembled. They are bone stock. Any ideas on what I can do to fix them? I live in Gatineau Canada and am not sure if their is any Shimano certified repair shops in the area. Aside from the shipping cost, what would be a safe estimate to have these reels looked at? T...

Re: Choose my next Senko rod poll...

Sorry, I am one of the people who selected the GL2, I misread the post, I thought it was the NRX model. Of the 3 options I have not fished any of them, but would go with the Phenix.

Re: Lew's and Ryobi

Here you go, this will clear up who and what is owned by Pure Fishing: http://purefishing.com/our-brands/ Noticeably absent is Lew's and Ryobi. PF also owns All Star rods as well. Pure Fishing is just a branch of a larger multinational Jarden. PF is the Fishing division. Jarden has an enormous produ...

Re: Which is your favorite rod company?

I gave it to falcon. My arsenal is not restricted at all though, I think with rods especially you should really experience the quality thats out there because there is a ton. I know that most of the TT community wont agree with this, but I only buy equipment that was at least at some point made in ...
