shimano c.s.

[Mr. Sandman]

Well, given their initial price and platinum service deal, that was their policy. flat rate to fix it and prompt service turnaround and they replaced it if they felt it was more cost effective.
That is why I made the commitment to them. CS is everything to me. I don't really care what the initial cost is IF you take care of me from hear on out. I have to admit, while I still like their products, they have dropped a notch or two on what I think about their CS. I will consider others now where up to now it was only shimano just because they took good care of me in the past.

Does Daiwa still make the original Dogfight? I think they may have kept it going when the new Saltigas came out?? Even if not, there might be some leftovers around.

I still think that the first run (2002-2009) Saltigas are the best spinning reels out there, for all-around use. I've been beating the piss out of mine since July of 2006. One service, only replaced the line roller bearings.

Dogfight will no longer be made. They are while supply lasts.
