Default i must be mad

i must be a little bit mental... but i am half considering in using GAC to make an order they have 10% of everything at the moment , the offer is only until the 1st if i remember. but it means they have the wychwood truefly SLA at £63. not sure about delivery if any as i have not typed in my card details yet. purely because of the bad reviews they always get. but the price is proving to be the best so far.


the only other place is Sportfish and i am pretty sure that out of the 2 shops everyone will tell me to use Sportfish lol.

James

I would be a little careful if I was you. They may well have the item listed on the website but, judging by various threads on here, that is no guarantee that the item is in stock. Most complaints I've read have been due to long delivery times.

If I was you I'd go to Sportsfish but I'd give them a ring first to check availability.

James, GAC may seem cheaper at first glance. But how much is your time worth if things go horribly wrong and you end up chasing things for days or weeks? That's assuming you actually get your order in the first place.

Fishermen tend to be a canny lot when it comes to sniffing out bargains. Sometimes I think it's worth paying that extra quid or two for peace of mind.

Cheers

Bob

PS Nice whisky glasses by the way. Having a drink from one right now!

I thought the Truefly was out of stock everywhere till January - I would check with them before you order.

Sorry to go against the grain but the wife called GAC during the week there to place an order and it arrived a day or 2 after. She did ask them if the item would be able to get delivered by Christmas though before placing the order.

well i aint exactly in a rush for the new reel as i dont think i am going fishing until the start of the new season.
but if i was lucky enough to find some where that had them in stock just now then i would just go ahead and order it up. other wise i am willing to wait for a bit, if it was January then that would not be to bad.

cheers for the replies , just sent an email off to Sandra at The Anglers Lodge and will wait when there back at work and able to reply after they have caught up with all there emails lol.
I have one more shop to contact.

I have found a site on ebay selling the SLA but i would rather get from a proper shop.

I got mine from the link below. £65 and free delivery within a couple ofdays if that helps.
