Beach Buddy,Zzippy PTXBass,Greys PZ Match,Penn Supermag xtra

#1 Post by Mr_Green »

Got this order from gerrys today, i ordered it monday afternoon..very fats shipping...but the zziplex rod eye was broke off, and i doubt it was done in transit...waiting for reply from gerry...fine rod, very slim and powerful, deceptive.... beach buddy is superb and a must for long session beach angling, especially at night... greys pz match looks excellent and i cant wait for a cast...and the stunning penn supermag xtra is impecable...looks the part really!!! and i am a novice with multis and taking baby steps, but ive stepped to far this time...its a monster but im sure its user friendly to a degree...and i will adjust!!! slan lads...be back with field report soon enough :P :D

i think someone is trying to compensate for something....

especially after the tackle tart threads...

they should replace the section with the broken eye.. just try get them to pay the return shipping :)
