Most of the time I'm using spinning but I have flyfished. I just bought a baitcaster so hoping to get alot of use out of that one. Hope to meet some new fishing buddies here who enjoy being outdoors. I went into my local Canadian tire to look for the Matzuo lures on special, 3 for $12. When I eye the clearance table. I did'nt see anything interesting and decided to go look for the lures. At the very end of the table was the rod butt with baitcaster reel, a Rapala Snyc. The tip was snapped off and still inside the butt, and one of the reel handles was also snapped off. With no price on it I had a guy scan it, he said it's $90. I said can't be all busted up like this, he tells me to talk to the manager in customer service. They scan it and Their cost price is $60. I told them if I take it or order the handle alone it's gonna cost $20 plus shipping. The broken butt is virtually useless without the tip. So she did not know what to charge me and asked how much I'd pay for it. I said $20, to my amazement she told the cashier to ring it up $20. The reel is working fine and there is the manufacter's tag on the rod, they are in Oshawa. I'm gonna take the whole outfit to them to see if I can get a replacement tip and pull out the broken bit inside. But for now I can use the reel on my Mitchell rod. Sometimes it pays to negotiate, the worst that would have happened was that they would sell it for $60, no one buys it and they throw it away. They recovered some of their loss and I got it for $20. Always ask......you never know. |
