Two Christmases ago my two sons bought me a surprise gift from Feather-Craft, an 81/2 ft St. Croix Legend Elite and a Ross Cimarron 2. When it didn’t arrive by mid December, they called Feather-Craft and were told that UPS showed delivery, but that replacements would be dropped shipped immediately in order to arrive by Christmas.
I got the rod and reel by Christmas, and Feather-Craft eventually traced the orginals to delivery at the wrong address. The jerk who had them thought it was his lucky day.
Great company that Feather-craft.
