planning to bring it back to perth and put it to some good use. just wanna check if there might be some fake
heartland on othe market? and if so, what should i look out for to know its the orginal?
pointers most welcome.
BTW, girlfriend still not talking to me after i made payment for the rod and bought it home. anyone have any idea
to coxe her also welcome.
Cheers
Otoshi

I bought home a 5grand
I bought home a 5grand guitar a few months back with out telling the missus, doesnt help we're saving for a wedding
all I did was go fishing, she'll get over it... end of the day if she really loves you she will love you having a good time!! and give her the same respect when she rolls up home with a 400 dollar watch or something
EASY!! btw nice rod

A 400$ rod might help you
A 400$ rod might help you catch the better fish, but a 400$ watch wont help you tell the time any better will it ;)

I dont tell her,
Hide it under the spare bed for 6 months, (apart from when using it), then later when she sees it you can say "what are you talking about, ive had that for ages"

that was my problem, i choose to buy the rod over buying a handbag for her.

i had the same dilemma when
i had the same dilemma when I bought a new rod and reel when I really didn't have the money to spare.
What I said was that someone on the forums (thanks fishwrecked :) ) had won the combo and didn't need it and was willing to let me trial and buy it for a cheap price!
now she thinks fishwrecked people are really really nice and that I got a good deal! :) win-win! (except now i'm poor....)
maybe try something similar to that next time

Do this test...
Put you girlfriend and your dog into the car boot for an hour - open the boot and see which one is happy to see you - Now, in future, when you buy nice fishing things, only tell the happy partner.......

G'day Otoshi, I don't know
G'day Otoshi, I don't know if there are any fakes around but there are variations in the Heartland from the standard Heartland going for about $120 Au to the Heartland Z which can be up to $600 Au so check the model (esp a custom one).
Cheers, Daisy

be strong
I show my missus everything. She gets really pissed at me so I go fishing to get away from her. By the time I get home she has either forgiven me or is even angrier. If she is angrier I leave the boat loaded and go fishing again the next day. Usually she gets over it after the second day. I cant really go wrong.
