Went out and picked up a new rod and reel . Grabbed a combo recommened on here by someone earlier this month, a Teramar TMCX76H with a Shimano Cardiff 400. Launched out of Cabrillo yesterday and was casting a 1oz Warhead slayer with a Hammer swimbait. I made it maybe a dozen casts and then snap, the tip breaks off.
This is not common right? I was a little unhappy. I picked it up last week at Baja Fish Gear in Lomita along with a Teramar TMCX8H. The other Teramar performed great. I never even pulled the plastic of the cork handles. I Forgot to take it off at home and didn't want to pull it on the water.
Anyways, i know Shimano has a good warranty on these but 12 casts? UGH! I am going to take it bake to Baja Fish for a replacement today assuming they have one in stock. If not I hear i can dirve out to Shimano in Irvine and replace it there. Anyone have any bad experiences with getting replacements on these Teramars?
