I went in looking to grab another Shimano Clarus, while I wait for warranty shipping. Staff suggested I look at the Fenwick HMG, which I would never have on my own.
With both side by side it was hands down the HMG. And they deal with warranty in-store.
I wasn’t looking for a reel but I grabbed a Quantum Smoke S3. Hot damn it’s smooth. I was incorrectly told it was 40% off, which convinced me to get it. Yet found out at the counter it was only 25%. By then I was in love and got it anyways.
I was disappointed they told me I would have to send my Clarus in myself. Yet I didn’t have the receipt, so it’s my fault I suppose. However the manager did give me a tube to send it in, and printed out the form for me. Now we’ll see what Shimano does. At worst I’ll have to pay 1/2 price for a replacement.
