[QUOTE="ndlongshot, post: 114015, member: 244"] Fishing last weekend, my wife set the hook (tried too) and the scheels outfitter reel snapped in two pieces and its less than a year old. It wasn't a cheapo either. I took it in still spooled up with nano, and asked them to exchange it. The guy takes it in the back for about 10 minutes and comes out with my line on a different spool/reel and hands it to me. That damn thing was so dirty/grungy/full of sand/beat to shit. I said no, i'm not accepting this. What did you do piece it together? He tells me that yeah we try and do that when stuff breaks. I said i won't accept it, I want a replacement. He said there was nothing comparable anymore. So i went over to the rack and pointed at the exact same price point combo I had purchased a year prior and said isn't this it? He said yeah i guess, but they changed it because they kept breaking like yours on 99% of them. I said awesome. So you tried to stick me with someone elses junk from the backroom with the same shitty design and not tell me when you could have just replaced it up front? Thanks I see how you operate. He then reluctantly and grumpily grabbed a new reel and set me up. I must admit, scheels has always been good to me when it comes to customer service. This is the second bad experience. Minot store lost a nikon tripod I sent in for repair and replaced it with a newer more expensive aftermarket when they finally admitted they lost it somewhere or it was never sent in after a month of me bugging them about it. Now with the rod deal....just goes to show you really have to stand up for yourself as a customer or they will pull the wool over your eyes. This reel deal pissed me off. Now i'll know what to expect when the other reel i own breaks! [/QUOTE]
