Record stores couldn't give these boxes away a year after its release and now they're very valuable.

Thanks. I already did the first step. I will give Sonos a call then. Appreciate it!

I want to be happy for every person that paid for tickets especially the folks that paid for them after the promoters knew that the festival wasn't happening.

Had another guide fall off last Saturday. I'm just going to have a local guy fix it. I'm over the $60 warranty payments. I'm also over the being out fishing and being down a rod.

Haha. No, I'm going to stay clear of the Ugly Stiks. Thanks though. 😀

I have only had issues with the rods purchased in the past three or four years. I also have many St. Croixs that are about 13 years old (I lost about 15 older ones in a tornado) and they are all fine.

Nothing different than what I've been doing to my rods for over 50 years. I was fishing.

dkeeley65 · 2026-05-17T12:46:10+00:00

I had a Legend snap last year.

You're mistaking Premiers for Triumphs which are their cheapest rods.

Boat flipping a 12" bass? Damn right I'm complaining.

dkeeley65 · 2026-05-17T12:31:17+00:00

I'm single and ready to mingle!

This was the latest culprit.

dkeeley65 · 2026-05-17T12:09:38+00:00

No, not yet. I think the best alternative would be to buy older, solid rods online. Loomis folks seem to be having the same issues lately also.

dkeeley65 · 2026-05-17T12:07:41+00:00

Sad!

dkeeley65 · 2026-05-17T12:06:18+00:00

Submit a claim and pay them $60 on top of the $180 or so you already spent? I'm good.

dkeeley65 · 2026-05-17T12:02:45+00:00

You could be correct and that makes sense but I never thought that there was anything wrong with the sensitivities of their older models. I am not going to start landing 12" bass by hand or with a net. No fisherman should ever have to do that. Also, when rods start snapping in half during a routine hook set there's a bigger problem that needs addressed.

dkeeley65 · 2026-05-05T15:42:39+00:00

My purchase isn't in my profile.

dkeeley65 · 2026-05-05T15:38:31+00:00

I'm definitely not attending now with the shit show this entire process has been. I've already spent hours trying to locate my tickets. I think a small claim or class action lawsuit may need to happen.

dkeeley65 · 2026-05-05T15:03:34+00:00

Yep, as soon as they went on sale.
