i dont want to get in this argument because i love supporting mom and pop on most purchases. however, i think the evil wally world probably has the best return policy in the world. heh. any piece of crap any time no receipt any condition. i saw someone return a watermelon and a cantelope that had sat there and started to decay because they didnt eat it.

Dwayne, It did not even cross my mind until that person said buy local. My bad. I will say this to kind of make up for it. I priced your/HALF HITCH combo inshore Penn set up with Walmart and Half Hitch is better by over $30.

WalMart has driven suppliers to build CHEAPER builtmodels of products just to sell in WalMart. So that GREAT deal you got at WalMart might not be so good in the long run.:banghead:banghead:banghead

Here's an interesting read:

From what I understand the new Penn 4/0's are called the "h2" model. Those are the ones being made oversea's. I got an american made 4/0 from outcast last week, so I know they still have a supply of the american ones. Not sure how long they will last...:usaflag
