Anything for the new year Bantam?

I have submitted the information to the product team. I spent a few days in MN earlier this year where I watched lefty reels fly off the shelves. These were anglers that are using both right and left hand reels to switch off while fishing. It seems those big bucktails really wear the anglers out ;)...

Just wondering if there have been any further discussions for a southpaw? I would by one in a heartbeat for casting Double Cowgirls and other bucktails.

I am torn between the new Antares and a Conquest 101 DC for my Black Elseil.

Indeed.

I am smiling ear to ear after reading that.

On the longer rods I notice they use a reel seat with no trigger. Is this a new trend I've missed? I noticed that as soon as TW put em up. I've never seen that before either. I have no idea what that's about :-k . I was gonna get an 8ft cranking rod. I wanted a 8ft deep cranking rod with more sensi...

Does anyone have any insight why this rod jumped up $100 in one bound?

We just don't sell enough of them. We have offered them in several models and versions and they just do not sell enough to continue. Everyone wants higher speed reels.

Same here. My brother and I stopped at the Green Bay Cabela's so he could use the facilities before the Packer game this past Sunday...long story short, walked out with two Sahara 500s for UL ice sticks.

Thanks Dan.

If I send the above reel to the service center for a basic cleaning and lube, will oil or grease be used in the spool bearings?

-Thanks kindly

You will not have the Xpeditor service if the rod model has been discontinued. The rod is still covered by the lifetime warranty. :lol: It's like you're speaking a foreign language here Bantam. It reads like English to me :-k I understand what Bantam is saying. It's just a shame that a few rods wil...

Why do we need to say we are doing away with the service? Going forward we have moved to Wild Card on the new rod models. Same program with better service. No charge and replacement through the dealer. I realize this is not great for everyone, but for most of the customers this is a great service. ...

10-4. Just curious. I am really happy BPS is bringing the vendors back this year.

Will you be working at any BPS stores during the vendor weekend?
