Now I am officially a diabetic too (and oddly enough I was born in Norwich ! /forum/smilies/confused_smiley.gif) does this mean that this year I get a payout in my favour instead of having to contribute ??????
In passing, before I forget it, an enormous big up (as I believe the youngsters call it) for Okuma customer services aka Jeff at Svendsen Sports in relation to the reel I won in last years auction: 10 bearing Okuma Payback PF30M.
Beautiful beautiful piece of the smoothest reel porn, but I just couldn't get used to the double handle, forever getting snagged up on my line. So I gave Jeff a ring on the offchance.....
24 hours later I'm looking at a beautiful perfect fitting single handle delivered by return of post. AT NO CHARGE ! £Nil. Nada. Bugger all. Nowt. Just good wishes for my chances of catching with it.
Bloody brilliant customer service and relations and a reel I now use more often than not. Even over my (still) beloved Mitchell Quartzes......
