just have to post about this

[flipnfly]

so last week or so i was reading i think it was here about the big box stores such as the worlds foremost outfitter and stores of the like and there were a few posts in this thread of people saying that some people here are just out for the deal an with this economy i understand that point toatally but what just happened to me was i called my local fly shop the international angler , and told them about a problem i have been having with the wading boots i had bought less than a year from them he said bring em in and we'll work something out so i did when i got there they no longer had the boot i had so he hand me a pair of simms freestone boots in a size 14 turns out they were too small so i jumped up to a size 16 tried them on with a neoprene sock they fit nicely and with a little extra room for extra socks (which is a huge plus come steelhead season) then he says give me 20$ for the boots which is the difference between my exchange and the new boot i reach for my wallet and its gone i was so bummed out at that point in time knowing im going to try to go hit the water tomorrow he said dont worry about it until you can get back out this way and on top of it they were going to allow me to have new studs put in and pay when i come back in not to mention that he removed my old studs and put them in the new boots also . that there is just another reason why ill be going back there they are willing to help out when a big box store is strictly cash and carry also i would like to add that these boots were .05 cents cheaper at the fly shop than bass pro and are the same at cabelas so how much is one really saving and who is actually saving with service like that ....

Size 16, eh? Did you get a trailer for those things? :lol:

Glad they took care of you, little brother. Those boots should last you a while - they're a good tough boot.

Looking forward to wetting a line with you!

Darn, some paragraphs and punctuation would be nice.

I've had nothing but 100% totally awesome experiences at International Angler. I wish I could hang out there and cast rods in the parking lot every day. I hope that place stays opened for as long as I am alive.

That was tough to read. I couldn't get through it.

+1. I apologize if I sound like a jerk... I'm sure it's good stuff, but it really needs a period or a line break. It makes the reader cross eyed.

It was tough to read the OP, but this response is beautiful.

some times being nice isn't being helpful.
I have to agree with the unreadable-sorry sir.

 

[Cornholio]

Posting from a phone will kill your paragraph structure! Just look at my posts lol.

I agree with both statements.

 

[tulenkot]

I like that there was no periods except for ".05 cents" and an ellipsis with an extra period, oddly enough...(.)

 

[flipnfly]

ok here goes since i went back and read it and it was tough and i am awake at 6 am on a sunday i took the liberties of placing punctuation im sure some of it is wrong (this is PAFF not 10th grade english) you guys are going to have to live with it !!!


So, last week or so, I was reading I think it was here about the big box stores such as the world’s foremost outfitter and stores of the like. There were a few posts in this thread of people saying that some people here are just out for the deal and with this economy, I understand that point totally. But what just happened to me was, I called my local fly shop the “international angler” and told them about a problem I have been having with the wading boots I had bought less than a year from them he said bring em in and we'll work something out. When I got there ,they no longer had the boot I had so he hand me a pair of Simms freestone boots, in a size 14 turns out they were too small. I jumped up to a size 16 tried them on with a neoprene sock they fit nicely and with a little extra room for extra socks (which is a huge plus come steelhead season) then he says give me 20$ for the boots, which is the difference between my exchange and the new boot. I reach for my wallet and it’s gone! I was so bummed out at that point in time, knowing I’m going to try to go hit the water tomorrow he said “don’t worry about it until you can get back out this way “ and on top of it they were going to allow me to have new studs put in and pay when I come back in, not to mention that he removed my old studs and put them in the new boots too . That there is just another reason why will be going back there, they are willing to help when a big box store is strictly cash and carry. I would like to add that these boots were .05 cents cheaper at the fly shop than bass pro and are the same at cabelas so how much is one really saving and who is actually saving with service like that ....
