My Fishing "rant" For The Day

[AirbusAngler]

So it all started out this morning when the direct TV guy said he would be at my place between 11-4....ok I waited until 330 then he called. Then I find out he cant even install the dish because of a tree in the way......ok great. Very dissappointed I wont have my NFL sunday ticket so I decide to scramble my items and go to the lake. Major traffic jam on highway, get to lake late. Once I finally start fishing my GoPro camera battery dies...I picked up the un-charged battery instead of the charged one. Fished, and fished, with no luck. Got hung up, attempted to rip free the bait SNAP my very expensive Shimano Cumara snaps at the tip. Very angry and depressed I continue to fish throwing everything in my tackle box with absolutely ZERO luck. Not even a HIT! Ok, still not done. Leave the lake early to go to BPS for my Cumara which im very worried about. Turns out the rod is DISCONTINUED!!!! My favorite rod of all is now broken and the model is doscontinued. Ill probably call shimano tomorrow to see what I can do about it. Angry, sad, dont know what to do next. Oh and by the way I just moved so I have been spending a lot of money on everything else which just adds to the strain.

Sucks but let us know about the cumara. I have two of them and have been curous how that warranty would work out.

Well, since we're ranting...over the Labor Day weekend I dropped my cell phone in the lake, broke my video camera, lost a big one because I was asleep at the reel, and ended up on the receiving end of another angler's lake rage. And you thought you had it bad.

Should be an over the counter lifetime warranty on that Cumara. I broke a Crucial drop shot rod and they replaced it no questions asked.

The cumara rods are all discontinued. Shimano is supposed to be bringing out a new cumara line to replace the discontinued line, per Bantam1..

I feel your pain, I'm down 2 rods since spring. First one broke after hooking up with what would have been the biggest bass of my life if I would have landed it. Was reaching down to lip the fish, just when she gave one last burst, snapping the rod at the halfway point and breaking the line at the same time. Second I was working a jig when it stuck on an underwater object, pulled "lightly" on the rod and snap(in the middle again). Luckily they where cheaper rods, regardless a few curses echoed for miles hahaha
