VS "rep" at River's End Saturday...
What a jerk. Gave me the cold shoulder when I went to his table. He seemed genuinely annoyed that I was "waisting his time" by even looking through the VS catalog. That is the second VS A-hole I have dealt with since the change over to Zebco ownership. I am so glad I sold all but one of my VS's off now.
Later in the day I overheard him bragging to some goons looking through the catalog. "Give me any reel on the market and I will kill it in a week. I fish hard! I wetsuit fish. I don't even rinse my VS's off after I use them. They WILL last without any problems..." Blah, blah, blah....  |

I was there and didn't talk to the guy but have to admit that something about him rubbed me the wrong way. It was the way he kept looking at me, like I was doing something wrong. Maybe it had something to do with the 6 Habs I had in my hands????

i have to agree a bit. i tried to get into a conversation w/ him but 2 other clowns jus wanted to feel proud talking to the guy for 25 minutes. finally i was able to get in there for a couple minutes. he answerd my questions, added too much other info i didn't care about, and did seem pretty arrogant. i did pretty much want to b-slap him to get him off his high horse.
i do not want to start another vs tread here, but i still have yet to see something compare to it. some are switching to the saltiga's, but i need to see that reel after 3-4 seasons in some hard conditions. i want to see how their service will be and how their reel reel stands up. it looks tough now, but talk to me in a few years.
it was a great show and kudo's to river's end for another great one. better than last year's.
habs, are you sure you are not missing any plugs???

So are we usin the saltiga's now.What size 4500 or 5000.JP likes the 5000 wit the gt spool.but their seems to be some discrepency on the size.JP need 300 yds of 50lb braid.I guess i like the same size reel as I am a 706 guy.but i might consider one for the canal an some wet suitin.I'm gonna wait a little to see how they hold up an I would like to hold one.before i buy it.the weight doesn't bother me so much.
