I had the same problem with a heavy salmon rod, only 2 or 3 of the guides were either bent or broken, returned it, 2nd one came in about a week with broken guides, returned it, 3rd one came with one badly bent guide, canceled charge on CCard, told BPS I was thru with shopping with them, kept rod (which they agreed to) fixed guide, and ordered basically same thing from Cabela's, came in 2 days, perfect condition, since then have ordered all my things from Cabela's unless price is about the same locally, been very happy and they will continue to get my mail order business. (Have always wondered if BPS merchandise always got to me broken or defective, what would a boat and motor combo from them be like, LOL) BTW none of the round tubes showed any kind of damage or mishandling. Also should add, have had excellent service and selection on my many trips a year to Moses Lake, and Potholes and vicinity from MAR-DON'S.
prices a little higher but never been steered wrong with tackle or info (I'm a bank fisherman and Mike has always put me in the right sp[ots whether they were off his dock or anyplace along the reservoir or lower lakes.)

Daniel,
Call me dumb but I have no idea what those initials stand for. Do they have catalogs, are they mail order? I live in a small town retired, disabled, on a very, very limited income so yes I buy the least expensive house brand I can find with the exception of when I go to Moses Lake, Potholes, or that area then I will stop at MAR-DON'S and buy a few small things just to support them. (used to work there when it first opened back in the 60's)

Daniel,
Thank you very much, feel like an idiot, am 64 and been fishing since I could barely hold a pole and had never heard of these shops. and to continue with my showing of dumbness, what kind of lures do you make and sell and do you sell them yourself or strictly thru BTD? also do you have any pictures of them anyplace, or could you send them to me @ charger66fan@yahoo.com
Thanks

reelinvasive.com is the site.
Sorry to hear about your struggles, especially with the rods. I have had a few rods shipped to me that showed up broken, i think it happens regardless of where you order them but the way the company handles it is what makes the difference... Any online ordering I do is from TW or BTD, both price match, free shipping (over $50), and quick!
Online ordering is not your only option either. Most of the local tackle shops can order just about anything you ever needed or more and have it in quickly (in most cases 2 days) and ship to you also with most price matching as well. Try to support the local shops!
THREE RIVERS MARINE Talk to Kent, he can order what you need!
Tackle Warehouse gets all my business. I'm in East Wenatchee. I used to buy at Hooked on Toys, but they changed their hours so now I can only make it there on the weekends, when I should be fishing! Not to mention their markup on all the gear. I can get a better selection at TW, free shipping or $5 2 day shipping at TW, and usually some free swag from TW with every order. It's a no brainer for me.
The only time I ever place an order with Cabelas or BPS is when I cannot get the item, or a comparable item at another retailer. I do enjoy checking out their catalogs though.
