A bad days fishing has got to be better than any day at work......
I'll check them out now
I'm not so sure about the Shimano warranty anyway. Took my 18000SW into Barrajacks a few years ago as it had a lumpy wind in the handle. Was told the gearbox was stuffed and It was full of water. No idea how that happened other than a little bit of spray while trolling and warm water sponging when it got home each trip. But was told it wouldn't be covered under warranty. Several hundred dollars later I had the reel back like new.
Democracy: Simply a system that allows the 51% to steal from the other 49%.
Did you send the reel to Shimano yourself Lovey?
edit - sorry no you didn't
Lovey bugger thats not good
Makes little difference if you send it to them or get an authorised repair place to do it, warranty is limited, forget the actual year time frame, Shimano make all sorts of gear, from cheap and nasty, to very high end, depending on your intended use (and bank balance) what you need/want to buy.
Oops wrong thread.
