Thumbs up imagine my suprise..

...

I visited my local tackle shop yesterday to buy a fast sink line; anyway being a lazy so and so, i got the shop owner to put the backing and line on for me. whilst I was there I also asked them to swap a line from a reel I can't get on with over to a new Pflueger trion I had just decided to purchased. Anyway here's the surprise, I finally got round to checking the contents of the bag I left the shop with (I purchased a few other odds and sods also and the shop owner filled said bag) and it also contained a brand new still boxed GRXI 9/10 reel with bag and spare spools well being an honest chap i phoned the guy up and thanked him for his post XMAS generosity lol. silly ****** had just bagged the lot up including the grxi that he'd used for de-spool re-spool job.

I guess because he rang the shop up and the reel will be returned.

pleased with myself; where did I say that? I just thought it amusing he could just box and bag up the grxi kit without realising

returning the reel is just the right thing to do, simple as that IMO
