Geez I am glad the rod I wanted didn't appear till March! I was going to send off my $$$.
Me thinks alot of people have been scammed(Modern Fishing included) because the offer appeared in a reputable publication.
The biggest downside to all this isn't that we (well those who sent off $30) have lost our $30 but I fear Modern Fishing will suffer more than the comsumer. Why? There will be some who got burned who don't avail themselves of internet forums or who have just decided not to buy another copy of MF. I for one hope this would be a rare situation as MF has done all in it's power to distance themselves form Pirhana.
I think the idea of MF taking out ads in papers would be benificial to them also. Pirhana do not deserve our cutom as a retailer.
