I refer to my post above. I just want to clarify he gave me another reel in the end (I haven't used it yet and don't even know how much it's worth but so long as it works!!). I just didn't like his attitude towards me and him employing that I might have broke the reel myself for all he knows, even though he knew there was a problem with it before he sold it to me.It's not nice been treated like that!1

I like fishing when I get a chance but don't tend to spend a fortune because I'm abroad alot and don't take it serious enough to be spending big mioney on it. I always went to Henry's to get my bits and bobs over the years so although not a brilliant customer I was a loyal one up till now. In the past I've recomended Henry's tackle shop to freinds but won't be doing that anymore after an easily avoided confrontation. I bought a rod (30E) and reel (35 euro second hand) and a few bits and bobs adding up to 130E altogether. I went fishing the next day and after about 8 casts the reel began clicking and it was clear there was a problem. OK my days fishing was off and I had a boat hired that day so it was a pain in the arse. When I tested the reel in the shop by simply spining the handle everything seemed fine but once any pressure was put on (pulling a spinner through the water!!) the gear was skipping. I brought it back yesterday (a week later) and I was given a hard time about getting a replacement reel for same price. I was told there was no gaurentee on second hand stuff (once taken from the shop!!). So if you buy anything second hand expect the same treatment as I got. He actually let it slip when he said that ''those reels are seviced before sale'' and I said ''in that case you should have spotted a gear problem'' and he said they knew there was a little problem there so why was he giving me a hard time about getting a replacement for something he sold me knowing there was something wrong with it? I wouldn't have bought it if I new the gears where on their way out. STAY CLEAR OF THE PLACE FOR SECOND HAND STUFF. It's not worth the risk if you're willing to spend hard earned cash!!
