Longest customs clearance i had to deal with. Yes. I figured Japan. I meant what place. I placed an order from Japan a month ago and it’s been sitting in customs for weeks now and until now it’s always been in and out right away. 1 1 Quote

Motoboss Posted Saturday at 02:03 PM Posted Saturday at 02:03 PM Got a Edge 40% coupon and after, unfortunately, breaking five inches off my IMX SJR 781-22 needed a replacement. The price was right but the wait might be four months! Hopefully it’s worth the wait. 5 Quote

WaskaCrank12 Posted Sunday at 05:37 PM Posted Sunday at 05:37 PM From Amazon Japan - ordered and received a few weeks ago - with the tariffs coming it seems like a good move now (at least that is what the Bait Monkey is telling me) 6 Quote
ReelDr Posted Sunday at 08:51 PM Posted Sunday at 08:51 PM Interesting on the delay from JLS. I just ordered my 25 Antares from JLS yesterday. I’ll let you know if I have any issues. JLS says they’re shipping FedEx. Quote

Some good news is Edge is catching up on orders and the wait should be less. If you want to see the new grip let me know. 1 Quote

Surely you would have had a replacement quicker than 4 months from Edge. I have 2 Edge rods, I like them just fine.

I have a 735 MBR MH-F and it’s definitely a heavy, a great caster though 1/4-3/4 it’s an unusual blank for sure. Helluva striper rod. Quote

Yes I have contacted Loomis but I’m in doubt about getting it replaced, it’s a 1988/1989model. Not sure they’ll honor a near 40 year old replacement warranty, although it supposedly has a “Lifetime Warranty “. I currently have it packaged and ready to send to Mike at Delaware Valley Tackle to have it repaired. I was so devastated that I immediately ordered the Edge rod as a replacement, just in case it doesn’t get replaced. I’ll have the repaired one as a back up creek slinger if it doesn’t get sent to Loomis. So right now I’m waiting to hear back from Loomis………. 1 Quote

Super User Bird Posted Monday at 12:19 AM Super User Posted Monday at 12:19 AM Y'all got deeper pockets then I 😁 Just received a Okuma inspira ISX 3000 and 13 fishing Omen gold as a dedicated drop-shot rod and reel. Snapped the top 3" of my previous outfit and completely changed the dynamics of that rod. 1 Quote

No questions asked. include the required return postage. It might take a week or 2 but its cheaper than going the expeditor route. Ive done this with a couple of old imx and glx rods. Quote
