  1. I have the Humminbird 535 Portable. Got it as a gift from my girlfriend 2 christmas' ago.

     

    I used it this year and love it.....for depth. it is very clear and you get about 8 days of 10-12 hours per battery (x2) just dont cheap out on the batteries.

     

    I love it though. I think CTC has them. its nothing special but it is very clear, b&w, no GPS.

     

    Great unit though for portable.

  2. Mike

    Steve can help you out only so much. Brian actually owns JB's Fidhing Depot and Steve is his brother in-law, so I am sure Brian will honour

    any deal he made with you.

    Jose

     

    Great News. Thanks Jose, I have been put in my place fairly quickly here :whistling:

    Will keep my eye out for it, for sure.

     

    And Dans right, One day.

     

    Thats a nice Rig, Okay Wayne, here is the deal, If I see you, and come stop by and say "Hello" please ignore the guy jumping from the other boat into yours. Just let the other boat float away and carry on :Gonefishing:

  4. Yep.. most of them are from helping people out... just like I was trying to for you, but you're too busy patting yourself on the back to realize that! :rolleyes::wallbash:

     

    Wayne, I was not patting, that is for sure. I have read almost all of your posts since I have been a member, and I have gotten a great deal from most. I was not saying this in an insulting manner, just as a joke. Apologies if you took it as I was insulting you. It was not my intention.

     

    But I know where you fish in the fall, so watch out :whistling:

     

    I value everyones opinion on here, especially the guys who have been on here for a long time, but it did feel like you were taking a jab.

     

    Lets leave this be, maybe I will see you in the Sound sometime, I will be sure to stop by and say hello, even though I dont know your rig.

  5. Hey Mike,

     

    Wasn't trying to prevent you from ranting....

     

    We had a really bad experience at BPS in March, I know a lot of members here love the shop...

     

    But us, not so much. JB's has a great selection but you have got to find a place you are happy spending your hard earned money.

     

    Thanks 4Reel and G, i am glad you guys no where I am coming from. I would love to have everything work out cus I buy stuff from them at every show probably around $100 each time, i would like to keep my dollars in canada and support them...so i am hoping everything works out

  6. Okay my tone must have come across WRONG.

     

    So everyone knows. i was NOT BASHING them.

     

    I was explaining. thats all.

     

    "I am going to call Brian next week to see if he will help me out"

     

    Forgive me for being frustrated, i guess everyone has had perfect experiences everywhere they shopped?

     

    "Not sure if Brian or his brother check out this board, but I was impressed.

     

    Thanks Brian, and you have gained a customer in me and word of mouth will go along way.

     

    I hope everyone else has had a pleasant experience with these guys because they seem like really good people. "

     

    this is a loosing cause i shouldnt have said anything.....hahahaha

  7. Misty River, i was by no means bashing them. I was simply stating the frustration of being told one thing then getting the run around. I stated i was going to call Brian to see if he can help me. Which i will do, I hope they can help me out.

     

    Roy, i forgot to mention, Brian said it didnt matter how I paid as long as I paid. He would keep his word

     

    If this was just a few lures i would understand and wouldnt really care. They had nothing at the show when i asked and said it was either on its way to the store or in the store.

     

    I will keep you posted as to how it unfolds when i talk to Brian next week.

     

    I know $1500 isnt much, but it adds up. Not on here, but word of mouth. Customer service is built on reputation and commitment.

     

    What would you do? I would have purchased it all at the show for the prices they had, but they didnt have the stock.

  8. Well I called JB's up today to see if they would still honor the pricing for me and to make sure they had what i was looking for in stock. They do, but its all at the Carp show apparently. So I asked if they would still honor the pricing for me and I believe I was talking to Steve, cus he said Brian was not there, and he told me that he wouldnt honor the prices unless I paid cash.

     

    I have lined up about $500 worth of stuff, a few rods a new reel and some musky baits, but I dont have 500 lying around to pay for this right now.

     

    The kicker is, I could have paid for everything at the sportsman show and just picked it up (i thought about this today) but i didnt. now i have to dish out $500 or maybe more in cash just so he will honor the prices.

     

    I feel like i just got kicked in the .......

     

    Just venting. I understand his point of view, but if they say one thing and then say they wont do it. well i am not going to shop there. this goes on to G's point about pricing and going to where the customer will be satisfied.

     

    I am going to call Brian next week to see if he will help me out, but if not, they just lost my sale and the sale from 4 others that were going to go with me. I am not making the trip I will order from Rollie and Helens for the lures and pick up the rods and the reels local, the time and gas i have to spend to make the trip is not worth it. well i think its more about the customer satisfaction.

     

    my sale, plust 4 others would have totaled around $1500, i guess our dollars will go elsewhere. disappointing though, as i really liked how i was treated at the show.

     

    Sorry just venting.

  9. Have you tried unscrewing the handles? Or popping them off, i know some Delta, Price Pfister and Kohler have this assembly to install/uninstall

     

    once the handles are popped off a mysterious escutcheon plate appears that didnt look like it was there.
