Bad Day!!!

[bcbasser]

I regret this story but here I go!!! Saturday I was out on a lake a couple hours north of me fishin for some smallies!! I hammered a couple and decided to move to another spot!!! This is where my trouble begins!! I asked my buddy to straped the two heliums I had on the front deck down so I could get the big motor started....the wind was blowing like crazy!! Anyway I didn't take notice that he straped them down just how I left them...rod tip facing the front of the boat!!! well I started down the lake and the next thing I know my heliums are flying off the front deck!!! I almost caught one but I was scooting along around 70...I just stopped the boat and almost got sick!!! The bummer is that they were my favorite spinnerbait rods...a Medium and Medium heavy...I was chuckin and whinedin!!! I also lost one new shimano and one about a year old...and my favorite HeavyCover spinnerbaits!!! Thanks for listening to my sad story...now it is time to move on and order a couple more!!!

Oh man, that's terrible ! Those spinning reels are too heavy to float.

BC,

Sorry to hear about the loss of two nice combos. I hear these stories all too many times a month. I would like to offer you a one time hardship discount on the two rods. You are welcome to take advantage of a 25% off retail price discount.

Just give us a call and we will take care of you. We want you always catching fish with your Kistler Rods. Sorry they didn't float.

Good Fishin'

Don't feel bad bro......I lost two brand new Kistlers last fall and one of them had a Shimano Stella spinning reel on it !!!! Clifford likes to keep me aware of this so I have to keep bringing it up.

I know the sick feeling you speak of.

BTW-
How many rod companies would step up like Trey has here ??? NOW THAT"S CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!

Be good,
Rich

[bcbasser]

Trey, Thank you very very much!!!! I can not tell you how much I appreciate your offer!!! I know the rods are great and I have heard from others that Trey and Clifford are great men, but now I can offer a first hand account!!! God Bless Kistler Rods Co.!!!

[zmazefsky]

That's very generous of you Trey! Yet another example of why we are so proud to use Kistlers.

[bcbasser]

I have said this elsewhere...but I will never buy another rod!!! Thanks guys!!

[Lightninrod]

[bcbasser]

Right...the only rod company on my credit card statement will be Kistler!!!
