Just bought a Greys Orion mk11 13' beachcaster on E-bay thought it was going to be £66 but somw *(&^%^$£ bid me up to £87.01

Be thankful you won the auction mate. That's a beautiful looking rod which I think retails for £149.99 - that one you got is brand new I believe. Also Greys offer a full unconditional lifetime warranty on all their sea rods so they must be pretty confident in them. I was actually bidding on that very same Greys Orion early on in the bidding but pulled out 'cause I won the auction on the 12ft 3-5oz Greys Phantom beachcaster (the bidding closed a couple of hours before the Orion) which I think will probably suit me slightly better. I also got bid up fairly high (£97 but that includes delivery) - hmmm wonder if it was the same somw *(&^%^$£ that bid you up after he had a go at me - however as the rod is also brand new and retailed for around £170 I'm really not too displeased. Enjoy the rod mate.

PS Now I know who you are I'll try to avoid bidding against you on ebay - well not too much anyway.

I just know it's not going to be long before she figures out it's going to be cheaper to buy a new fork than to continue subsidising my tackle dealers luxury motors. So if you see a lonely figure digging vast numbers of holes along the beach with a very small bucket of worms and a brand new, shiny fork muttering under his breath about the inequities of married life...............................................That'll be me

Where you gonna hide the new rod mate?

quick note
after a 30 minute call with greys today it seems the orions are not covered by the ulg as i tried to get mine repaired/replaced the best they can do is if you send back a dead orion they will knock 25%off the replacement

That's interesting pobolycwm - if you check out this link to the Harris Sportsmail site you will see their listing for the Orion clearly indicates it is covered by the unconditional guarantee.

Make sure you print off a copy of the web page I posted and demand why they are allowing their rods to be marketed as such.
