Gander Mountain Rods & Reels

[Sportfish1850]

Thank you Capt Musky for echoing my thoughts. A $10 replacement contract on a rod guaranteed for 2 years makes no sense. Not sure why that would be anything I'd ever buy. Which I why I think Gander is now refusing to honor their 2 year guarantees unless you have a receipt to prove the date pf sale (even though their online printed return policy doesn't require receipts for exchanges).

Oh well, its their loss and Capra / Thone Brothers gain.

I'm not a fan of there reels at all.

I started to keep all my receipts for rod/reel purchases from any store. It's already paid off once on a rod exchange that broke. Associates that I know say if anything happens to store brand rod/reel to bring it back and they'll exhchange it. Having receipt makes it easier. I usually make sure associate is working and talk to them first.

On another note, I talked to a local reel repair guy that used to not take store brand reels is now accepting those to try and repair. If you have the schematics on the store brand reel to bring that with. Some store brands that have a mfr., such as Quantam, make the reels may not have the parts for said reel. Yeah, that doesn't make sense, but that's what repairman said. That's why he said to bring schematics if you have them.
