shimano cumara

[smalliehunter]

Do any stores carry the new shimano cumara baitcasting line? I've made quite a few phone calls with no results. I don't know the cities real well so I don't know any stores except the big retailers

Are you looking for a nice 3 piece like the one you were using last night?

Check out the "Bass Boat Central" board in the very bottom section and you will find rods for sale....Good buys can be found for many different rods, reels , and other things....I've picked up several sweet purchase for both rods and reels....I have had good experiences buying there with both rods and reels represented fairly and no negative results...Check it out.

Problem is I broke one last night on a hook set. Called shimano this morning and they told me its a 3-4 week process to send it in, they advised me to find a dealer and swap it out and have the dealer do the warranty.

Tried thorne bros but they only had one model, and it wasn't the right one

Ahh...gotcha.

You can try Joe's, but honestly most retailers don't do over the counter replacements all that much. They aren't wild about using their store inventory to cover a manufacturer's warranty, which you can kind of understand. It's taking a rod out of their inventory until they get it restocked, and in the meantime it's a rod they can't sell.

Didn't help that some of the big box retailers were sending guys with warranty claim rods to some of the smaller retailers like Thorne Bros.

Problem solved I called tackle warehouse and I bought a new rod today with free shipping and sending them the broken one and getting a refund. Excellent customer service

Glad to hear you got it resolve. Just an FYI for next time or for somebody else. Joes sporting goods doesn't do the over the counter program. They send it in for you. Cost you $20 and 4-6 weeks wait.

I sent mine in for 16 dollars new rod will be here today. Tuff to shop local when an internet site treats me so well.
