Hello PierBoy,

Digital dagger is a good company with good prices. They will stand behind the products they sell and have fast shipping. Hope this puts your mind at ease some and welcome to the board....Hat80

I just bought a reel from them (Okuma EB80) and was told I would get it in couple of days. And sure enough, got it in 2 days. Their prices are lower than B&T shops and other on-line sites I've visited. RedDog1 was the one told me about it.

That's right, I have ordered from them a few times and they are very quick at delivery and very helpful. In fact I called one time at 5pm on a sunday and I got my order tuesday. They are a family owned company and there prices are very competative. Give em' a call.

If you are not in too much of a hurry about getting the rod then you might want to keep on watching ebay as digitaldagger.com does put some rods on ebay every now and then. I got an Okuma Solaris 10' rod on ebay ($51) and just called them up and it was delivered within 2-3 days.

Good place to buy

I've ordered from them online and bought from them through ebay too. Both transactions were smooth and quick, and they even allowed me to change the specs on the rod I bought from them over ebay. Their customer service is very friendly and professional, and they ship quick and pack well. Prices were excellent.

Excellent customer service!

I bought a Tica rod from them last year and one of the guides cracked while fishing. I called and they sent me a replacement before I even sent in the broken rod. Definitely top notch!

Digital Dagger

I purchased the 12' Okuma Solaris from Digital Dagger a few weeks ago. Received it when expected. Very good transaction.

I don't know since my two times trying to order from DD he did not have what was on his site. I ended up going elsewhere on one of the items and saved a few bucks.

I second the Baitshack.

I had the same decision to make before Christmas.
I’m sure DD is good, but the BaitShack got the first chance and came through for me.

I don't know if this post is still relevant - original post looks like it was done in 2003 - but I just saw a 12' Solaris with a Penn reel in the marketplace.

Pier Boy, Just watch how it's sent. If they send it UPS etc. .... you will get hit by their excesses brokerage charges to handle the transaction. They have found a "gold mine" by using the custom brokerage business ....something like anywhere from $30. to $50 per item. Best way to get gear out of the US is to have a US address, or pick it up when you are on holidays in the US ....I live in Canada ...but winter in Florida .... where I am this morning it's 34F.

I have purchases 2 OKuma rods from DD a few years ago when I got started and they are still with me. You can't beat the price. Fast ship & smooth transaction. You might give our sponsor a call "The Bait shack" Greg maybe able to help you get one.

Good Luck

A+

i made 2 or 3 purchases from them already.

fast fast fast. very good prices on items

sometimes you need to call to verify models. as they can have models in stock yet not list it on site.

like. if they list x1 x2 x3 reels online. they might have x4 x5 x6 size in stock too.

The guys at Digital Dagger are top notch. Good prices and fast shipping. They also have a "no questions asked" return policy. Very important.
