#1574, "Shimano Service"
|
I sent in my Shimano CL-820XFA rod and cte-400 reels because it kept chaifing the line and rod became jerky and noisy. I did check the guides multiple times and even did the q-tip test. Shimano returened the reel 2 days later having changed all the internal gears and I am still waiting for word on the rod. They obviously have great service. Has anybody else had to re gear their reels, I have been throwing the 12 castaic but have not been out much so it needing all new gears it surprising. Before I sent it in I did notice a slight amount of slop in the handle. This is obviously the rod I am waiting for to get back for the post below.

There was a message on my machine from Shimano Service when I got home tonight. They are sending out a new rod to me, but it is backoudered 3 weeks,Doh! Great Service though. I did send back a Daiwa reel at the same time I sent back the shimano stuff and I have heard nothing from them. Shimano gets my vote. They did not say what they had found on the rod though.

Yes, I have to say that the CTE-400 is sweet. I sprung on your recomendation of the reg 400's and I couldn't be happier. I did also get shimano to replace a old Corsair so I am going to order a calcutta rod for it also. I did notice a report from ya on night fishing whick insighted me to post the castaic trip below unfortunalely the rod is still out. So it looks like its going to be a flippin stick and smaller trout plugs. I must say you are the man, every time I read one of your reports it gets me going. Teen fish or bust, thanks for the stories and tips!

That is exactly what I was thinking! I wanted to throw the big slammer, I forgot what size it is 12"? Anyways I can easily throw the next size down, I think 9" on my flippin stick. I went out night fishing for panfish there about 1 1/2 months ago and it was very enjoyable. Coons, rabbits, coyotes and fish. I'll post if I have any bites, but the BIG lures are my confidance baits now. I don't trust throwing my castaic at night, but the slammer, up on top, no problem. I also have Piru on my "to do list" before winter. It has just been hard to get myself out this year, and taking someone else is usually a good excuse to make shure I go. I kind of lost my drive, among other things. But yes, I have been off the board for a while. I usually bounce around inbetween Varmint Calling and fishing. Ice fihing always grabs my interest and obviously so does the trophy stuff. You should see my tackle box, a dozen lureds that weigh 9-16 ounces and the a bunch of micro jigs that weight 1/200 oz. Definately a wierd combo. Bye, Rob Olling.
