RE: [VFB] Searching for inexpensive fly rod.

[M. Peter Schiano]

Jim aside.....because I think the world of Jim, but he got himself into a bad situation when Orvis bought Redington.....He stayed when he should have left......I really think Orvis used and abused him badly.....they could have cared less about Redington Rods as a successful profit center.....from the posts here I didn't realize that Orvis sold it off and I hoping to a group of investors headed up by Jim himself so he could get a return on his investment for his labors....can someone plz tell me who bought them....Peter --- On Mon 07/08, Gert Jensen < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: From: Gert Jensen [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon 07/08 Subject: RE: [VFB] Searching for inexpensive fly rod.

Thanks for the reply to me. I was surprised that they were rude to you..I have dealt with them for the past 5 years and they have been nothing but kind to me and very quick to respond when it comes to consumer service. I'll send you post on to Jim as he will want to know of this experience. I'm hoping that you got someone who was having a bad day. It is interesting to note in the 2002 gear report in Flyfish america that all of their rods were given ratings as good as, or to exceed those of much higher priced rods in the tests that were run. So..rudeness aside, I'm thinking that the rods themselves are a darn good investment. Joyce
