Make sure its what you want...
By the looks of the for sale board this day and time you better do alot of research and triple check every aspect of the item you are intending to buy.When you ask how this rod is or that reel is your best bet is to GO and look at all options before you buy and make sure that rod you THINK you must have is what you really want because in this tough economic time you may be stuck with it whether you like it or not...
let me enlighten you john
If you notice on alot of boards lately there is alot of items for sale but little to no takers unless the item is basically given away.People are just not buying like they were say two to three monthes ago,even the bass fishing sites are seeing a glutten of stuff pop up for sale but the takers are scarce.I for one never thought the fishing family would be hit by the economy,i know of several that would still buy tackle instead of eat!,but by the looks of all the ads lately the buying spree even in fishing has come to a screaching halt...
One more note watch out on ebay now especially,seems people have nothing better to do than mess with people now,you'll see someone bid on your item with no feedback only to win and you never see payment from them...
