[QUOTE="lunkerslayer, post: 26396, member: 217"] Again when fish are biting any rod will do most of the time, but when fish are being less aggressive there is no doubt a quality rod will catch more fish over some one using a K mart special. This has to do with quality of a product that has a warranty behind it if the warranty is crap then the product is crap. Craftsman tools at one time where made in the USA which showed in the quality of the product. Yes they still have a no question asked policy on there products but sometimes it can be a hassle to make a special trip to bring one socket or ratchet back to the store for replacement. I have a set that I inherited from my grandfather which is over 40 years old, the sockets don't have markings no more but are still functional none the less. The ratchets are still rebuild able which Craftsman still sells again the kits are not as good as before when they were first built. I get frustrated though when a company discontinued replacement parts for high quality reels which only shows that some companies don't want you to be a repeat customers. Fishing rods have all gone down hill with mass production of blanks and quality of craftsmanship of rod assembly which only shows that companies expect you to send them for 120$ a pop because that is what it would cost to replace with a new one. That is why I will learn to make my own rods so I can learn a craft which I can build fishing rods to give to my family. I bought my first newer vehicle 2009 BMW 335i, the car was a great deal with low miles because the car was bought from a gentleman who needed to buy a family vehicle. The car had 31000 miles on it when I bought it which for a 2009 would be considered rare find. BMW as a reputation of building quality vehicles and since I am mechanically incline I can do my own maintenance work. [ATTACH=CONFIG]5454._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
