Greg,
I have to say that my experience with Dover has been excellent. I dealt directly with Frank and even after the sale, he has been very good about answering questions, etc...
More importantly, I have had to stop in for a few minor things and the service team has been excellent.
I originally was going to get my boat from another place in MA but just felt way too much pressure regarding making a decision immediately after only meeting the sales person in a quick visit. I just didn't click with that person - not to say they were bad, I just wasn't comfortable spending that money with them.
I will buy my next boat from Frank and will definitely refer others to him whenever I get a chance.
As for the Booyah spinner - I was on a real tear with the 3/8 oz spinner and caught quite a few more bass in the 2lb range with it as I had extreme confidence after that 5 1/2 lb'er. A few weeks later, I went up to Bow Lake in NH and lost it on the rocky bottom. Even though I have others, I almost cried. I should have retired it!
I am about to switch to a fleck spinner to see if I can recapture the "glory days" ...
... and for all of you Real Fishing fans - Bob Izumi has a court order out on me to stop impersonating him so you can't make anymore Bob jokes ...
