 How much After breaking my rod tip whilst fishing at clevedon i have now recieved a reply from shakes spear. They have quoted me £84.60  for the new tip section  As you can imagine im more tempted to go out a get a new rod as im not filled with cinfidence after the tip has broken with less then the recomedned casting weight. I think a nice greys rod is in order. A bit disapointed with shakespear as its a nice rod but im not prepaired to pay that!! tj     |

| Re: How much Gutted for you TJ. That's appalling customer service, less than a year old and under the recommended casting weight.  I'll certainly not be considering Shakespeare when it comes to my new rod. Grey’s lifetime guarantee does seem good, but I remember reading somewhere that it's changing soon. Not sure how, I'll try and find the page I was reading. __________________ Right then, checklist: Rods. Check. Reels. Check. Speckled Hen. Check. Bait…… BAIT! Sh*t, where’s the bait? |

| Re: How much Greys have obviously never heard of a life time guarantee 2 years ago when I broke my 2 month old rod tip. That cost me £110. I think the rods are great but I was not happy with their customer service so I moved to an AnyRod. __________________ Check my blog for a daily fishing forecast from Weymouth, Portland, Chesil Beach & Kimmeridge Bay. www.fishingtails.co.uk |

| Re: How much hm that does seem a bit pricey mate! i went off shakespear a while ago for my own personal reasons (pm me if you want to know!) i have a greys as you know albeit an old one but its never let me down.. and if it can survive the beatings i give tackle it must be pretty good! __________________ fishing for fish is not as simple as you may think! |

| Re: How much Sorry to hear that TJ. I always thought Shakespeare were a reputable company. Think i'll shop elsewhere from now on too. __________________ Don't Judge My Path If You Haven't Walked My Journey... |

| Re: How much I broke a prized Shakespeare rod which I considered irreplaceable! It was .... Shakespeare told me they couldn't do anything to help; not even supply a suitable new purchase. They're the worst manufacturer/supplier I've come across and I can only name you one good product .. 'Ugly Sticks' ... and even those I've re-rung as soon as I've bought one because of the krap fittings!!! Taa and goodbye!!!!  |
