I've been using Scheels guide series rods for a number of years and have accumulated about 5 of them. I was impressed by the rod and the "no questions asked" warranty as explained by the sales person. One of my guide series rods broke so I took it in. Thought I would get a new equivalent rod on the spot. He said it looks like you got your use out of this rod and walked me down to the cheapest scheels rod made. The rod didn't even have a cork handle and was IM6 instead of IM7 and had cheap guides. I explained the differences and said it was a guide series rod and that I wasn't impressed with the warranty. I get it if the guide series has went up in price and has nano-technology now, but out of their 5 grades of fishing rods how about one in the middle. After getting a little POed and stating if the rod I left with didn't at least have a cork handle it would be a long time till I was back in the store he let me go with the second cheapest scheels rod on the shelf. At least no snoopy stickers but I wasn't impressed with the warranty.

Hockey gear in general is very expensive. I was in a Pure Hockey last month to get my skates sharpened and while they were doing it I looked around at gear. A new pair of CCM/Bauer customized skates can easily top 1000 bucks. Then you need everything else. It would be several thousand before you had everything. And then your kid grows like a weed so you need to buy bigger gear.
Then there's goalie gear. That's enough to buy a small boat.
Nothing cheap about that sport by any means.
My wife is having a lot of issues in her garden with bunnies eating everything and asked me to try and find a solution!
Any Ideas on a brand or type on a bunny popper you don't have to pump 10 times every shot, probably putting a scope on it. Is CO2 even a thing anymore?
When hunting season opens, of course!
