Guest pin point Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 yeah, the employees dont know anything, i asked one of them where the trebles are and he asked what a treble is... they only care about money and not customer satisfaction at all, i defiantly wont be a repeat customer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afishyfish 4 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 The customer is always right and usually votes with their wallet I find I might even ask about a job there myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagger 24 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 If you wanted a job in the tackle industry i'm sure you wouldn't say no to working at BCF even if it is just a foot in the door.I gave one of the guys there a few weeks back a lesson on blades. Then talked him into joining SAFWAA and strikehook !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jagger 24 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 i bought shit line from Annacondo once, cost me maybe $20 for a 300mtr spool of 6lb braid. Good value i thought... wrong!!It came off after the first session.I then did my home work and found some great stuff at what I thought was a reasonable price for my specifice purpose. Has been on for over a year now. speak volumes really !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dubs The Tackle Man 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Line and braid is 1 thing you cant really stinge out on, because its a main part of your outfit.If the line or braid is poo then the whole thing is poo I reckon cause it all starts with the cast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagger 24 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 And that's exactly why it went in the bin. Wind knots every cast had me that frustrated that I cracked the shits big time !! Didn;t have a wind knot in over a year with the good stuff ( and that's using it a fair bit) until it got a bit ratty and twisty. Stripped it off and re-sppoled with the remaining line and should last me another year!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dubs The Tackle Man 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 you can reverse it to with braid so chuck waht was underneath onto the top she'll be as good as new Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Station49 33 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Nothing wrong with BCF as long as you know what ya after. They quite often have decent specials.It is a shame that a lot of the staff have very little idea, how about some of the blokes on here go for a job there rather than shit canning the place.ps; I'd work there in a flash if i could somehow do it as a second job, but cant see it working. Being surrounded by camping and fishing gear all day would be awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
