Snapped rods !@x!!

[Bobsa69]

Surprise Surprise snapped my Apollo last night :casstet:

I was thinking about purchasing a tip tornado sport, i know that a lot of the lads from south of the tyne use them, any comments on what they are like in the veg, to cast overhead with would be much appreciated!!!

I know a lad that has got one for sale, he just got the rod he has wanted for ages, a REELSPORT RESPONSE .

His tip tornado has seen some action but still performs well, he fishes the rough most of the time and hasn\'t had any bother with it, ie no snapping tips. PM me if your interested

i just got a tip tornado sport for christmas its excellent for casting and fishing

 

[alan]

thought you got a lifetime warranty with them ? suppose it depends on how you snapped it

I have all of my gear insured through my house insurance. Cheers sless wouldn\"t have thought of this if you hadn\"t posted. Why don\"t you reps get your act together. (if you are looking in) Not some times, all of the time. PLEASE be consistant, some of the people that bring broken faulty gear back do not have the money to replace it. Just be consistant some of the time at least. ironic lol.

alan.f
i think you only get that with the new greys rods and not the
old rods
im summising it was an old rod

??

Cheers for the info chaps!!

Went ahead and got a TTS on the credit card to annoy the missus!!!!

The rod was the original 13ft model, i had it for 3 yrs with out any bother so i cant complain.

I\'ll being taking it out on either fri or sat night (TTS) so i\'ll let you know how it feels.

Well chaps, greys are as we speak making me a new tip free grattuss, tops.

Also blooded the new tip tornado on thurs night with a couple of fish off of the bathing pool skeer, including a six pounder!!

Have to say greys seem to have really got their act together in the last year or so, their new gear seems pretty damn good, and their new fly rods - where casting action/ability is everythin are amazing for the price. The service is top notch as well.

Our Kid snapped his jupiter bout a month ago on Middleton.
Top 5 inch off the rod gone, its like a boat rod now!
But after hearing this I might give Greys a ring and tell them about what happened, I dont think he\"ll get another tip because the Jupiter went out of production a while back but these type of stories crop up more and more now and suprise suprise they all seem to involve Greys.

I\"m staying well clear of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
