Good show as always. I only spent 70 bucks which is a new record low for me. I guess it means i have enough crap to get me by for the year. I picked up a coupe plugs thats about it. Good to see some familiar faces, always a good time.

I was less than pleased with how an issue I had was addressed. It was eventually taken care of, but only because of other involvement. I don't need hassle like that.

And just for the record, I have nothing to do with the other guy who is posting about breakage of the rods. A lot of people know who I am and I have no problem posting in my own name.

Only when they run down the rocks and try to pole vault to the blitz on the other side, or snag a tree behind you in full cast

I have a 1327 & 1328 never came close to having issues.

That's not entirely true. I've seen 2 break under what would be considered normal fishing conditions.

Normal for who? An olympic pole vaulter? The only one i head of breaking was someone didnt have the top push down all the way(user error)

Come on, Skip. Are you calling me a liar? I'm pretty sure you don't hear of every rod break that happens. And I didn't say anything about the canal or "pole vaulting" with it.

Would never call you a lier JZ, you left your statement vague,i was mearly trying to help narrow down the scope of your statement.

Never having an issue myself i am trying to gain a better understand as to what you speak of. Can you be more specific?

I'll text you later. Got to get going to work and I don't want to drag anyone into it who's not on the site.

Look, I've had completely enough of this . I'm tired of you continually spreading these things you heard. Were you there? No, you go off heresay of some one else who also was not there.

John was with me both times. He saw it both times. No one else who claims they know was there. The first time one snapped it was throwing a 2 oz pencil. There were no bushes, no trees involved no nothing. A simple cast and the rod exploded. From everyone I have talked to this happens with new rods. No biggie I accepted it and we fixed it and moved on.

The second time wasn't even at the Canal so I find it amazing that you say it was during a pole vault at the Canal. It just shows the credibility of your sources. I never even asked them to warranty it. I asked if they could help me with a price on a replacement. I don't think a rod should break from being dropped at waist level, but I accepted the fact I broke it and was originally going to replace it with another Century.

The real reason I will never buy another rod, is somewhere along the way some sleazeball claimed that they wouldn't help me because I gave Dave a hard time and swore at him, etc.. I would love whoever in the Century camp that made this up to step forward and stop acting cowardly. Be a man for once in your life.
I'll gladly post the conversation I had with Dave, and I'd really like him to respond. I find it disgusting that I have to defend myself over one of their rods breaking, when I was honest and upfront about it the whole time.

I find it incredible that you have these assumptions but have never bothered to stop and speak with me about them. We've fished together numerous times.


Anyone that knows me, knows that I value honesty and doing the right thing. I lived these values through the years I honorably served this country. I was honest and up front about everything and in response I have been bad mouthed by the Century (or fan boys of Century) people.

First off i wasnt calling you out, i would have said publicly greg tried to polevault over the ditch, but i didnt, so you drew your own assumptions.

Second off i am not spreading rumors, honestly i could not care any less to be honest.

Third off based upon your rant are feeling guilty about something?

I spoke yesterday to 2 different guys who said they had snapped there sling shots twice each last year in the canal. Than i was told by a shop that carries them they have had many breakage issues.

I broke one throwing a 5oz Tsunami Swim Shad,,, But that was my fault seeing how it was only rated 2-4oz..

to be honest after seeing the blanks yesterday i dont know how more dont break they are so damn thin

And I was hoping the "Rod Wars" stayed off this site...I guess every thing anyone ever manufactured has a certain amount of defects. And of course we only hear about the bad ones. This thread was about opinions of RISAA , not a certain manufacturer. Should I surmise your name is lamimann and you fish Lami's ? hasn't everyone heard of them breaking also? What you hear and what actually is true is completely different unless you know it first hand.

what's the matter lammiman? afraid of a little competition?

sometimes i masturbate in the shower

ive broken a lami before but thers 30 years of fishing them only busted one 132m

what does that mean?

And I've all but "pole vaulted the ditch" with the rods I use , and I'm not easy on my gear, fish them hard as many will contest to and not one issue. And I don't exactly cast easy either..

good for you my lamis are all i need

Ok, good to know.

I picked up a belt holder for my fish gripper on Friday, and my son picked out a fish print from Striper Slayer Apparel yesterday. He was pretty happy.

i got a gear up bag, some afterhours plugs, worms from worm bar, and stormer jacket.

I think it is nice to hear reviews on gear from first hand accounts. New products go through their hiccups but it is how the problems are addressed by the manufacturer that determines their future.IMO if a new rod breaks form casting it should be replaced without question. If a rod breaks from dropping,that is a different story. If I were Century I would pay skippy to go away. To question as to whether a man is feeling guilty is inciteful at the least.Fish whatever makes you happy.lots of flavors nowadays but some have proven themselves many years over.
