[purple][size 2]A couple years ago, HuntN4bass and Myself were fishing in a tournment at my office(Jordanelle). A let me start at the begininng, I always said if I dropped another rod into the water I would dive in after it. Well, we were fishing in a tournment when One of those wakeboarding sons-of-fishes came too close to us and threw a big wake at us. As the wake rolled under us, my chair started to tilt backwards and the bolts broke! I'm falling backwards and let go a $325 Loomis GLX spinning rod(my first and last) that had a $125 Quantum Response reel. I froze!!!! HuntN stuck his rod underneath mine twice before it slipped into the murkey depths. I froze!!! Then I stripped off all my clothes...and went looking for it. It was cold!!! It was scary down on the bottom, and green!!! HuntN still has nightmares for seeing my naked buttox. So, a couple of days later I get my scouts, snorkeling gear, and an Acqua View and go back up. Nada, nien, nuthin'. Every couple of days I would go back up and look. Its a damn expensive outfit!!! 70 days later the water has recided almost 20 feet. Guess what my neighbor kid and me found.

[purple][size 2] I cleaned up the rod it was in good condition. I sent an email to Quantum. They told me to send it back to them and they would send me a new reel. Two months later, I received a brand new reel.[/size][/purple]
