gunsndrums1 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 So, if any of you saw or read my thread on the best bang for your buck spinning reel, Jon, otherwise known as bassin is addicting, sent ME a near perfect Pfleuger President 6730, for NO CHARGE. He shipped it last week on 2-day but it was delayed and I received it on Tuesday the 11th. When I opened the box and unwrapped the paper, I nearly peed myself. Not only did he send me the reel, at least over $100 in tackle or more was sitting in the box. This package included, a TON of Soft plastics, crankbaits, Jigs, shakey heads, hooks, topwater frogs, a spinnerbait, split shots, sinkers. Most of them were pre rigged too. Not to mention, he messaged me updating me on order status as if i was ordering from cabela's or bass pro. He is risking not having an extra rigged reel for a tournament hes is fishing this weekend, to send ME, a 14 year old he doesn't know at all, a FREE Spinnning reel And tackle. I would like to say once again to Jon, I thank you very much for this. You have helped me out a lot, saved me a BOATLOAD, and i use capitals for emphasis, a BOATLOAD of money that i do not necessarily have a lot of to be spending. You are a great guy to do this, I hope the good lord will return you good doing 10-fold. If any one else is seeing this definetly leave a props to this guy in the comments or a good note in the flea market section section for him. Very much deserved for a selfless act. I can't thank you enough Jon!!!!!!! 15 Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Dangggg. That was nice. I think I'm going to start pretending I'm a little kid and joining forums to get free stuff. 1 Quote
jbw252 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I often say how great this BR community is, and this exemplifies that spirit of humanity. Kudos to Bassinisaddicting for his random act of kindness. Just remember gunsndrums1, to pay it forward when your time comes. 4 Quote
Preytorien Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Sounds like a great example of paying it forward. Looks like you've got some excellent tackle there! Great job Jon, guys like you are the kind that make BR a wonderful place. 1 Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted March 12, 2015 Super User Posted March 12, 2015 I'm glad you made this post and I'm sure it means a lot to Jon. I had a 14 year old kid send me a PM a couple years ago asked me out of the blue if I had any spare tackle I'd be willing to give him. I told him if he'd pay $10 shipping I'd send him out a box. I packed a large flat rate box full of jigs and plastics... And sent it on its way I never got a thank you or my $10. 1 Quote

MemphisFF Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I agree buddy.. It's a pretty mean world out there.. But this site and occasionally I run into some great people. There's still some good in mankind, but if you watch the news and deal what I deal with sometimes it just makes ya shake you're head and can really depress you.. Quote
