Free Fishing Rod

[beancounter]

On page 134 of the latest, January 2006 edition of "Modern Fishing" magazine, they are giving away a "free" Piranha fishing rod to anyone who fills in and cuts out the coupon. The rod is apparently worth
$ 189.95 !

The only catch seems to be that you have to pay $ 29.95 postage/shipping and handling fee, to get the rod.

We all know that there are rods.......... and there are rods.

They are giving away either a 7' estuary / 10kg spin rod or a 10' / 8 kg surf rod.

I am wondering if anyone has filled in the coupon and got the rod, so they can tell me if the rod is worth at least $ 29.95.

Thats typical, i've lost my copy.

Ive got the coupon but havent sent it away as I too am unsure as to the quality of the rod and wether it would be worth it or not. I was actually waiting for someone on here to talk about the brand and quality of it. Does anyone have the rod yet

[DR]

you have to send in the coupon by the 1st january..
tried getting more info from their web site..it is conveniently being updated. has anyone been there for a look at their product??

Yeah i cant find a photo of the rod, i've looked everywhere.

Gave up, figured my 30 bucks might be best spent elsewhere. The whole $189 "worth" sounds like BS to me.

If anyone gets one i'll be interested to see it.

I haven't seen the ad but I work on the theory if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is - but I am a boring conservative risk averse banker.

Send me the coupon, I will let you know what the rod is like.

Team - I am reading a lot on different net forums about the offer, but noone seems to have recieved their rod yet.

Has anyone here received one yet? I guess I am a bit skeptical, considering no one seems to have seen a Piranha fishing rod yet, let alone the model thay are offerring for $30.

Any one have an update?

I would ASSUME that Modern fishing would not allow a rort being pulled through their mag ....but i doubt i will be sending my bucks off ..you never know ...may actually be a good deal

[baldyhead]

Hey rajawolf have you sent for the rod yet?

"Please allow 28 days for delivery from the last day of promotional month. Mail enquiries to address above. Pirahna sport Not responsible for lost or misdirected mail"

Basically no one will get a rod till the end of feburary and if they don't show up they don't give a sh!t. Their web site is also being updated. I won't be getting one because i already have too many rods but i reakon $30 isn't to bad a gamble. Like loosing a bet for a carton i spose.

[fishingnottake]

according to the coupon it expires 31st of jan

[rajawolf]

fishingnottaken,

Thats good mate ..I will talk to you soon about the offer.

Saw the offer but have found that cheap gear usually means poor quality. I am going to give it a miss.
