I took a serious pop from Winston last fall on a broken tip... $182 and to say I am disgusted is putting it nicely. Not sure the cost bothered me as much as the total lack of communication and cryptic email they did send.

Funny thing I was fishing with a Winston pro-staff member when I broke it and he assured me they would do a great job of cleaning it up for the money... They did not, but they got my money.

Winston will never be considered again... Sage has such horrible customer service lately they are also off my list. Scott is looking very good...
