John R....In regards to Manhattan Tackle I ordered a Van Staal reel, my CC was charged and after 3 weeks I called to see what the hold up was. response was that it would be shipped out tommorow, this went on for 3 months and Nada!!! Boy was I pissed, then I had extra mysterious charges charged on my account! I delt with Discover and after dealing with them for another two weeks I finally got credited after 3 1/2 months and got a new CC#. What a Nightmare!!! Anyway that wasn't the end of it, I called Van Staal and spoke with the people there, could not understand why Van Staal would let a guy like this sell there products...The guys at Van Staal told me that they too have had an ongoing problem with Manhattan Tackle whom owed them Alot of money for reels which were not paid for...They told me the guy was very sick. Oh well, didn't last long after that, I made a stink everywhere. I am now dealing with Merrick Tackle since I buy just about everything in bulk and at wholesale...I build custom rods and tackle for myself and others, have never had a problem with them. If I see stuff that I can't get through them then I buy on-line or in tackle shops.....
