A short while ago I posted on here about some beautiful reel seats I was able to purchase from the owner of a company. He designs the reel seats and produces them. I was so impressed with them, that I passed on his name and number for those interested in an incredible seat that wouldn't break the bank. I learned today that he has someone else, a known rod supplier, handling his seats. The supplier was not forthcoming in supplying the prices, and let it be thought that the price from him was the same as from the originator. IT IS NOT!! He has charged a dear friend of mine more than twice what was charged me. Sure, I can understand a handling charge, but that is just unreal! For those who would be inclined to order a reel seat, BEWARE. I just hate that people have depended on me for a reference and are getting screwed in the process. I am truly sorry.
