Hey Darku, why you doing that hi-jack thing and all you know?

Sure there's another more relevent thread for you to hi-jack where they discuss exactly what you looking for in the econoline range.

Called forum discipline bru, I tune you!

 

 

[neilg]

very few threads don't end up being hijacked.

don't be so serious about it guys.

This is the exact reason why alotta sealine members ditch sealine and find new grounding and loyalty in other forums ....petty insignificant conflict and politics tht stray from the essence of the sport and aspects relating ie: INFORMATION
Friendly courtesy bru ,friendly courtesy

I've got your back OD.
Maybe these guys should have a bit more respect for the forum owners request in terms of Marketing.

Place an add if you want to promote Berkley - You charge enough for your product anyway.

Lol right on andries...ok admit tht we were veering off the topic of berkley a bit ..but So What? This is a site dedicated to information and it need not be constrained in any way ,hence the word Discussion
O.D

 

[neilg]

Come on everyone

let's learn more this year and fight less, cause I can see this one turning into a boxing match again.

ever noticed that THIS SECTION is the area with the most fights ...

threads get hijacked all the time, and if not finished they go back on track again.

Hi NeilG,

It's cheap, LOL

I thought you would come up with something like that ...

All I'm looking for is a 9ft rod, that can do about 3oz, ofcourse at an unbelievably low price.

call me cheap ...

 

[AndriesH]

I'm also in the market for a serious short stcik ,but have to turn over the cents carefully due to a new bussiness venture coming I'm developing.

The comments on the Berkley is appreciated, but I enjoy the reviews of other equipments in comparison when guys try and compare performances while acknowledging these significant price differences.

Excellent news Van! I think everyone here will value the lessons we can learn from this dude - on the Dvd he was hugely entertaining. (aussies speak funny - probably due to them missing the ewes and lambs (wives & kids) LOL!!!!!!). Only JOKING!!!! Lets keep this light!

Please keep us posted bru, I would really enjoy the opportunity to polish up my (almost non-existent) dropshot skills!!!! By the Way, I read Reefers posting about the rod replacement and THAT IS SERVICE! Big kudos to you guys for that!!!

 

[sparky]

awesome van. please keep us posted on clinic dates, venues ect. would be great if they shot another dvd too - loved the first one.

 

[Van The Fisher Man]

Hello Sparky,

How did you guess?

Yes, that is the intention, I can't say when it will be released.

Watch this space!

 

 

[sparky]

yes, i would be available as a guest angler. will travel.

 

[Van The Fisher Man]

Hi guys,

Sorry, no space for guest anglers this time.
But, there may be give a ways and freebies at the clinics.

 

[dasijoe]

Drop shot fans down in CT (of which there are many!) would really enjoy this. Perhaps some insight into local spots and what tactics and baits to use, etc.

 

[Van The Fisher Man]

Any chance those of us in CT will get to see Mad Dog?

There are loads of drop shot fans down here and some better insight into the Berkley range, new products and future development would be much appreciated!

A clinic in our local water will really help grow the sport down here.

Just a word here to say that the guys from Berkley are certainly at it again....

A mate of mine broke the tip of a Berkley Air rod after fighting a Yellowfin tuna (on ultra light tackle) for 30mins on a recent trip to Tanzania... after hearing about it, Van asked for the chaps contact details to follow this incident up...

Last week I heard that the rod had been replaced, no questions asked!

Now thats what I call service....

Van, thanks for this - I am suitably impressed! HUGE ups to you and Berkley!

I got the same from Rapala VMC on a Shimano Scimitar that broke due to bad casting from my brother, evenafter admitting it!!

 

[robfisher]

You are lucky Loams… I guess you know someone there because my mate broke a G. Loomis rod and had to wait 6 months for a replacement and pay R800. Great service NOT!

Rob boet

I BROKE 2 OF THEM

First one I thought my fault and when the second one broke IN EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE I took it back and DEMANDED my money back.

They are on my NEVER BUY THAT S%^T AGAIN list ...

Understand that both rods broke within 10 CASTS.
