Theres problems with more than just the xx rods.

Local vehicle dealers have warranty service centers for that reason. That is a horrible comparison because I do not have a megabass dealer within 100 miles of me but countless ford chevy dealers. jib I think you may have misunderstood the gist of my post. What i was trying to convey is that you sho...

When I spend $600 plus on a rod (x7) im not looking to come out of pocket more for manufacturer defects but thats just me.

PM sent to OP and just as an FYI the process was started a couple of months back to where MOA will have rod components in stock to send to customer or repair shop to avoid costly shipping and repairs via a 3rd party. That being said I know personally that MOA will do all in their power to keep a cu...

Yes I was also told that the rattling issue was unheard of when I called in to megabass about it. Seems strange dont you think.

Have had zero experience with MB USA customer service, most reports I hear, have been positive. The Tackle Trap (Bronzefly) and a TT advertiser, has a very good relationship with MB USA. Since the rods sold in the US are "Fair Trade", buying your MB rods through the Tackle Trap may help with or eli...

I feel that if its a quality control issue or defect with the rod it should be handled with the company who makes the rod. I see no reason to involve the retailer who you purchased the rod from unless you just want a refund. I also see no reason that megabass should expect the dealer to deal with th...

I completely agree. A while back I had a brand new x7 super eiger that I purchased from an authorized retailer in the U S that came in with a crooked blank and about 5 times too much epoxy on one of the guides and the stripper guide which i know is supposed to be backwards on this particular model w...

I have a total of 4 transactions with mikeysam and every one has been excellent. Shipped same day or next, packed well, and items are better than described. Great seller!

Any word on the exsence dc coming over?

Does anyone know if theres something under reel nut to keep metal from scratching reel foot?

If your not into fancy paint and want a no frills very lightweight high quality rod go with the kistler klx, he3, or zbone. Some of the cleanest best built U.S. factory rods i have seen.

Rod exactly as described. Packed well and very fast shipping. Would be happy to do business with again.

I purchased several of the new I's when they came out. Added 4 bearings to the handles, they are nice reels but in my opinion i still prefer my e series. I have sold all of my I series. I cant really put my finger on what i didnt care for, they just did not feel as high quality as the e series to me.
