Title: loose reel seat on JM rod
Post by: Michael Adolfsen on February 22, 2011, 03:38:55 AM

the reel seat on my brand new JM Power Spell 200 came loose after a few minutes of jigging.
Anyone had the same experience.

That can't be good, Was the rod built by JM or built up by someone else? I'm sure it will be replaced if you return it.

I wrote to Mr. Kilsong he would replace no prob. except i live in Europe (100$ each way)so i should try and find a decent rod builder and just send him the invoice.
Anyone here that know some close to or in Denmark.

Hi Michael,

Sorry to hear that as my friends and I just got three JM Power Spells from Kilsong too. :0(

Anyway I can recommend a really good and cheap Danish rod builder if you drop me a mail.
