What do yall think
 

Well I have emailed someone about getting a custom rod made and was wanting a price from this person and I have not heard anything back from them. How long should I wait before I start to bash them for not responding back to me.

Why bash them? Maybe try sending another email or give them a call.

Are they a member of this site?
If so I say never.

To many builders around to wait for someone. One of these guys will want and earn your business.

Never force someone to take your money

Yup

What they said!

I wouldn't bash a sponsor if I were you.
Off to Banned Camp you will go.

Agreed.

Very true but couldn't help but laugh.

Sometimes a call is better than an e-mail and you can discuss exactly what you want .....better rod build

So if you are displeased with a sponsor you cannot voice your displeasure?

You wanna bash someone just because they didn't return your email? Dang, man!! Try calling the guy. Whatever happened to good ole human contact and patience?

I know a couple rod builders, most have full time jobs and build rods on there off time. I give em 2 days for a call back and 1 day for email, I wouldn't bash them. and I've had rods built that were custom and it took them 2 weeks for a finished delivered rod.

no, these people pay top dollar to sponsor the site, why would the site allow someone to bash them in open forum? if there is a problem with a sponsor, pm the company with your complaint or Ckinchen may can help getting in contact with someone who can help you! its whats best for the site!

I agree with you lp was just wondering

Holiday season also.
They may be outta pocket visiting family.
Some older guys don't like/know much about computers.
Land lines is their new technology.

I have tried (unsuccessfully) to get in touch with Jenny for 3 years, she won't answer her phone. Told me it was 867-5309, but:confused:

I have made a few other contacts about who it is and I am just going to calm down and be patient and see what happens if I am not happy about it I just wont buy one from

Although it is great to support a sponsor their are other fish in the sea. Wait it out and see what happens.

I'm gonna get me a biness and become a sponsor so none of you bastages can say anything bad about me. And that includes OU. ;)

Oh, my goodness..........what did we do before the internet.

Salty is an ignert bastid.
There. I did it before you is a sponsor.

sorry salty but OU said thanks, but no thanks

Don't offer email if your not going to respond

To clear all of the confusion. The email was sent to my spam folder. Which I don't check on a daily basis. Hotmail is notorious for sending stuff to the spam folder I was told. If anyone doesn't hear back from us within a day or so. PM me on here or give me a call. I would never intentionally ignore someone's email.

In yo face haha

Hotmail has to be the worst for sending emails to the junk mail folder. Try gmail, it has some pretty good filters.

Bull feces........
Ever heard of giving some one......any one the benefit of doubt??

Everyone wants it these days but will not give it.

I rarely if ever disagreed with anyone on this forum.......but I can tell you this hiding like junior varsity cheeleader behind the forum is down right disgusting.

Man up, suck it up, and move on and get the damn rod somewhere else.

This ain't facebook for goodness sake.

BOOM!!!!!

I don't even want the rod just giving my opinion if I want it I buy it I'm not going to wait around for it if they don't respond in 2-3 days max I would go somewhears else

So go boom it up your know what

man it sounds like everyone needs to go fishing.....

Well, he did give an explanation which seems pretty legit.

So, if you didn't even want the rod, what's the fuss?:confused:

I didnt start the thread Just giving my thoughts like everyone else sorry for not having the same opinions

By the way those Duce custom rods do look legit

I see that now.;)

Problem solved and they have handled it in a very profasionial way as far as I am concerned. I will be purchasing one of there rods if not more. Thanks for the input guys and for those that helped thanks again

Glad everything worked out for you.

So many people these days that build rods. Do your homework and look at rods they build before you buy. Many people get the same blanks, eyes, and such throw it together in their garage and call it a custom rod for double the price.

Do your homework. Some custom companies are great and others are junk.

I have been using Matthews Custom Rods. He will walk you through what you want and the ones I have are great. They are top quality, great finish, and best of all catch fish! haha

LMAO, take it easy fella, just messing with you.

Lol....simmer down Big Red. It's all good.

I know you have to take it as good as you can dish it out on this site that's why it is the best you guys do a realy good job of helping out rookies as my self

I say just buy a castaway and be done with the argument.

I think the only reason to get a custom rod is for the placement of guides and which type you want. I get spiral rods made with 12-14 guides on a rod. there isn't a mass produced rod that is spiral with that many guides. and if there is I bet it cost way more then what I pay for a rod.

Why do you get so many guides?

The more guides the more sensitivity, and the more distribution of weight down the rod, less chance of a rod breaking,

The more guides on a rod actually dampen sensitivity.
