 Posted: Sun Sep 21, 2008 9:21 pm Post subject: worst night fishing ever!!! |
 |
|
i had only 2+ hours to fish this evening so i took a 15 min ride to Beseck. I get there to have someone tell me they just finished a tournament there....no biggie...so i proceed down the bank throwing a shallow diving crankbait. couple of casts latter i hear CRACK!!!!! WTF was that... i look down at the reel i have a birds nest a teradactle can land in and one of my kistler rods was broke in 3 pieces, nearly cried ( kistler doesnt make this particular stick anymore) to find out when i went to cast the trebles caught one of my other rods and it snapped. so i change a couple of reels around continue casting between a crank and a senko trying to put something together then to make matters worse i goto cast and a treble burries itself into my drivers seat.
could my night get any f@#king worse? yes the only bite i had in 2 hours i missed. so ill be on the phone with kistler tomorrow to try to obtain a new rod on warranty.. |

It doesn't surprise me that you didn't get any fish, I fished that tourney and took 3rd place, some guys struggled to even get 5 fish. Sorry we beat the lake up, but those are the breaks.

yeah made it out there mark, struggled there too.
just got off the phone with kistler, that rod is not available anymore so i had to settle with something else. i tell you i do miss shimano for there warranty but 35.00 to replace a 230.00 rod isnt all that bad.
im with ya on that Bren[/quote] |

There warrantry sucks. They should do like the crucials with the warranty. Especially at the prices they charge. That lake can be tuff. Its a great lake to "grow" up on. If you can consistantly catch 8-10lbs for 5 there your doing something right.
Btw- I LOVE my kistler tube rod. |
