Camekoon reel? Anyone know if this is useable?

[williewiskers]

unlike forum-speak, kinda' expect an "official statement" to be written (or, at least, proofread),
by someone who can use there, their and they're correctly  

why is a custom-designed reel that's hand assembled/inspected from "superior parts",
warrantied for ONLY TWO yrs.    aren't there plenty higher mass PRC models that offer FIVE!  
how do you stand 110% behind ANYTHING    is there an imaginary 10% sticking out in front?  is that the Marketing B/S?

just sayin' stuff & sticking to it, can be an effective, profitable business model...  albeit, not an ethical one
no one EVER admits that they flat-out lied, at least not without court-case

Oh god, a grammar nazi. Please go back to facebook.

Warranties are based on how long the reel will last under the most neglectful and abusive conditions and a function of how much you overpaid for the reel. If you paid 10x the manufacturing cost then the manufacturer has built in the cost of replacing the reel a few times over for a longer period of liability for the knuckle daggers that don't care to even consider any form of upkeep.

110% means when there's something wrong with one of his Canyons then Don just has you send it, or bring it, to him and he does a cause analysis to see what broke and why, then fixes it remedying the problem if applicable. The extra 10% you cant seem to understand is caring. Anyone can just, "give you another one", because its in their profit ceiling. Don's products are constantly evolving and cares about each one of his reels and how they perform for their owners.

...and btw, he does not have any patents for any reels. None that came up in a patent search in any case. . Although i'm sure he is a real sweetheart anyway.

.

Try the copyright office, more importantly the international one. He hasnt "invented" any components or systems that are "sufficiently divergent from existing technological paradigm", that they would be considered completely non-derivative. I think the last ship sailed on that with the advent of the lever drag - and if anyone patented that, they did a shite job enforcing it. China is the enemy on copying things, at least the way they look. If they can shave $0.01 off every 100 units by using a component that reduces the piece's overall effectiveness or quality by 10%, but you wont see it right-out-of-the-box, then that's what they're going to do. Don has copyrights on certain models of his reels, but enforcement against asian manufacturing city-centers is basically impossible - and expensive to pursue.

a copyright     you mean, like for a fairytale or bad poetry or extra-creative fish stories?
all you need for one of those, is a unique-enough combination of words
like being the first to associate S/W reels w/ canyons, maybe

This thread is now locked — not because of the content or the opinions or the judgements — the tone is going South.

Let's keep future posts on a higher note with no personal insults.

That is not what the Alan Tani forum is about.

Thank You.

Best Always,
