Excellent Service at Halfway Angling, Cork
My tecklon 6 month old spinning rod snapped about 1 foot from the top last weekend. I brought it back to Dan at HALFWAY ANGLING today and he replaced it. No problem. No hassle.
A Great shop with a great aftersales service. Just shows it pays to shop local. Imagine the hassle if I bought it online.

Re: Excellent Service at Halfway Angling, Cork
absoliutly agree,Dan is realy good man,i broked top of my "abu garcia" "hellbender", online "abu" cant help me even to sold me the separate top section(why the f""ck they doing those rods if they cant sell the parts),so i ask Dan maybe he have somethink what can go with that surf rod,he brought me a new top section of "shakespeare" "long surf" ant tell to try this one,i was absoliutely suprised when i asked "how much" and he said "FREE","just try it and if is not ok bring it back,maybe somebody alse will need it",i fixed my "abu" (now i call it "shakespearbu"
) and getting basses with it,THANKS for DAN!!!
and onother thing is that Dan have some things(like "gamakatsu" hooks,"tuberttini" lines) what i cant get nowhere alse in the shops around Cork,and allways can ask him "how and where" if i do some fishing what im not in(like was with wrasse fishing
he even gave me some ragworms for free,course i was stuft with lugs
)
