Wasn't there some kind of discussion on here a year or so back about returnin' stuff to Academy and gettin' yer money back? I bought a high dollar combo rig last night and I expected it to work much, much better than it performed in the lake this morning. I can't afford to buy spensive stuff on my gubment check and it not work as advertised.

They have a great return policy.

You should know that since there is always several old people standing in line returning crap when I go.

u pitched the jig, I ain't bitin' without the pig followin'.

I just feel more comfortable with less expensive equipment. with this high dollar stuff, I'm always worried about breakin' something.

I'd bought one of them combos for that price but don't have any place to put it. It's a damn good deal but I guess Ole Geauxt just don't know how to fish

aight, long story short:
last night nascar came by the old folks home, checked me out and took me shopping.
I debated on a new reel and pole.
academy wouldn't give me 90 days layaway.
I had to spend half my months check on this high $ rig.
I casted it 10 times this morning and didn't catch a fish.
it was not a fish catchin' machine like advertised, it's faulty.
I remember a thread about returning stuff to academy, I want my money back.

capeesh????

Ole Gueaux went out and bought:
The high dollar rod and reel
Best Jeep
Fished the biggest Pond

And now wants to return the rod and reel, because it don't catch the fish.

If he listen to Nascar and dug a pond(Puddle)
Bought a Zebco 33
Bought a Dodge Ram
He could be a Master Baiter Too.

Can you even reach the step on that Jeep?

You're gonna fall and break a hip trying to get in and out of that thing.

my zebco 33's hurt my wrist and I can't pitch em off of Trigger.
that was somebody's jeep that works down here at Darbonne Nursing Home. my kids took my license away from me a few years back.

You gonna try to get the dealership to take that jeep back too since you can't catch any of those old women at the nursing home in it?
