Good day turned bad.

At 6+ PM i recieved a called from home, informing me that my "package" have arrived. I couldn't contain the excitement within! After a week of searching i finally decided to pull the trigger on yet another finesse rod. This time, one that could not be found locally. After several emails with the japanese online retailer, the rod was shipped

After i receiving my bill i found the shipping to be dirt cheap. As expected the rod was shipped without a PVC protection tube. And this has caused a magnificent day to be turned around; when i discovered....

Upon opening of the package i heard an uncomfortable clanking noise. Unfortunately the worst had happened, the event i was so afraid would happen unravelled right in front of me. My brand new unused rod came in 3 piece instead of 2.

The only tiniest bit of consolation was that i did not put my hard earned cashed on the twice-as-expensive Qu-on super dynamis series rods and opted for the mid end trickster series. Now all that is left is the wait for a reply from the tackle store to aid me in getting my money back. =( on a side note, the qu-on trickster turned out stiffer than i expected thus if i could get my cash back instead of a return i'd definitely opt for the buck and this time, wait patiently for the right rod. A painful lesson indeed.
