Interesting Battle - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Chuck D · 07-04-2015, 08:47 AM

Went out for another elusive BFT yesterday... No tuna, managed to get a YT with an interesting battle for me, enjoy if you wish. Happy 4th everyone!

OH NO!! Way to persevere!

Cadillyak · 07-04-2015, 09:10 AM

Damn Chuck. Didn't see that one coming. Funny thing is that at the beginning of the video, I told myself to ask u how u liked your terez. Nice job getting that fish in and that dish looks amazing. Is that BFT and YT? And what makes up the star portion?

surfisher · 07-04-2015, 09:10 AM

Wow Chuck! You weren't even high-sticking it ? Maybe if you send in the video they will replace it for you. Nice fish by the way!

spyakker · 07-04-2015, 09:25 AM

Just as i was about to put up my terez for sale! Haha. Lifetime warranty though!

dsutter775 · 07-04-2015, 09:46 AM

Been seeing a lot of snapped rods lately. My buddy snapped his M1 on wednesday and i snapped mine a few weeks back.

Unfortunately I believe that shimano no longer does lifetime warranty any longer. There were lots of people abusing the program. I've heard that they switched it to one year, but if u have an older model the lifetime warranty is still good. All hearsay though.

I broke a Terez in the same location as yours. Shimano swapped it out no question asked. Nice to have it on video too, I am sure you will have no problem getting it replaced.

I still own Terez rods (and love them), but from now on I am buying United Composite rods. If you have'nt tried them, you should give them a look. Amazing rods.

I have an older rod that has the lifetime warranty stickers. You are right that they only do 1 year warranty with the new rods.

Chuck wasn't high stick'n it....

taggermike · 07-04-2015, 12:35 PM

Great recovery. The rod had to have a defect or hidden damage cause you sure didn't high stick. Thanks for posting. Mike

Ggiannig89 · 07-04-2015, 12:42 PM

i heard catching YT's with broken rods is becoming the cool new thing.
Good job on that!

FISH11 · 07-04-2015, 12:44 PM

I've had it happen but with a pole I had tried to fix. As I was watching I though what fricking kind of pole is that " cause I won't be buying one of those". Like surfisher said you weren't even high sticking it. Chuck you had better luck than me, I missed the gaff shot and the thing turned and broke off the cheap ass Gamagatsu hook. Too bad on the no tuna but I find Yellows to be super tasty. Thanks for sharing Chuck.

If its not one the older rods (lifetime) they will place for 50-100 dollars.

BTW Chuck D, what is that guy screaming about in your video?

Cadillyak · 07-04-2015, 01:42 PM

Come to think or it, I had a terez Rod that broke on me with little to no stress. I sold on seeker.

GregAndrew · 07-04-2015, 01:52 PM

Way to keep your eye on the prize Chuck.

Man. I was just telling Dre how the Terez lacks this sort of back bone. I have the 8ft 50-100lb braid and I feel like i cant put full pressure on the fish. Literally babying the fish out of the yelp.

And for the Shimano warranty, they will fully replace the rod up to a year with receipt. Without receipt, they will let replace the same rod for 50% off. Took a Teramar about 2 months ago and replaced it with the Terez since the new Teramar models wont be out till the end of summer. I took mine into Shimano in Irvine.

Hope this helps
