Yesterday I had a two stage fishing adventure. In the AM, Esquired, myself, and my buddy Charlie decided to try our fabled Striper spot on the Delaware. We froze, and didn't land any fish...actually there was only one bite. I dropped off Dave and headed to the other local river to attempt some smallmouth. Anyway, before we started fishing, this happened...
No, not a car window or door, but my gas tank door...I don't want to go into the explanation. Anway, the rod is a St. Croix Triumph Spinning rod, 6'6"ML Fast action. Its under warranty, but Its probably going to cost me at least 30 bucks or so just to ship it to St. Croix, and ship it back. They want you to include 20 bucks for return shipping. That's pretty absurd if you ask me. Anyway, the guide frame was not harmed, only the insert. Is there a better way to have this repaired/replaced than send it back to St. Croix. Could I purchase the insert piece somewhere and replace it myself? Are there any rod shops in the Philly area that could do this? The rod was only $70. It seems unreasonable to spend another 30 just to have them look at the guide for me. ON top of that, I got a hole in my new waders while wading the Skuke, resulting in a wet leg. It wasn't a good day on the water. :evil:
