I love Rick's Custom Rods for several reasons, the main one being they have a large selection of…read morelive baits, frozen baits, lures & tackle, rods & reels, and all other fishing accessories. Very seldom do I go there and they do not have what I want, and their prices are always competitive. The second reason I love Ricks is that I can ask them the hard questions about fishing and they always have the answers. What type of rod for what kind of fishing, soft tip vs hard tip, what lb test, what is biting lately and where, what lures or bait is good for now. They are always willing to take the time to give you the answers in detail, no problem. Rick is a very skilled custom rod builder. Recently I had him look at a custom rod I had beaten up over 15 years and told him I'd like to replace it with something similar, because I liked it so much. Rather than sell me a new rod he suggested that the blank in this rod was a very good & expensive blank & he offered to rebuild the rod for me for $80.00 rather than spend $260.00 to get a comparable new rod. Wow, I wish you could see the rebuilt rod, it is absolutely beautiful, better than when it was new, absolutely fantastic.

My son wanted a new bat after the holidays and so we went to Dick's. As soon as we walked in and began to look at the bats on display Nate greeted us and made us feel welcomed. He listened to my son who is only 10 and treated him with the same respect as he did me. After understanding what he wanted Nate shared with us it would have to be ordered. He did everything right there with us. He ordered the bat and discussed all the warranty options and how to handle if we had any issues. I was very impressed. My son was so happy when it arrived only a couple days later. Nate was professional and knowledgeable about so much more too. We have since been to the store a couple of times since and were welcomed and greeted just the same. Thank you Nate and DSG for supporting our athletes and families in a unique way!

RUN -- and save yourself the trip…read more I drove nearly two hours today from Venice, Florida, fully prepared to spend approximately $30,000 cash on a camper. Instead, I experienced some of the worst customer service I have ever encountered. From the moment we arrived, not a single employee greeted us, acknowledged us, or offered assistance. We spent a significant amount of time walking through roughly 30 campers completely on our own in 94-degree heat. Many of the units were filthy, poorly maintained, and several had obvious broken or missing parts. After looking through the campers, we went inside and still received absolutely no acknowledgment from the sales staff or management. No greeting. No offer to answer questions. No offer of water despite the extreme heat. Nothing. The manager didn't even bother to look up. The only reason we had any interaction with a salesperson, Vlad, was because a camper had been parked in front of our vehicle, preventing us from leaving, and we had to ask when it would be moved. I cannot understand how a dealership expects to sell RVs while completely ignoring customers who are ready and willing to buy. I arrived excited to make a purchase and left shocked by the lack of professionalism, customer service, and overall condition of the inventory. This dealership lost a serious buyer today, and based on my experience, I would strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere.

I am writing this review to formally express my deep frustration and concern regarding the…read morecondition and ongoing service delays related to my brand-new Shasta by Forest River I-5 Series camper, which I purchased on September 29, 2024, from Camping World, located at 8000 Park Blvd N, Pinellas Park, FL 33714. I purchased this camper urgently due to the impact of the 2024 hurricane season and personal circumstances. Like many others in our area, I needed immediate housing. My salesperson, Summer, was helpful and professional, and I was hopeful I had made the right choice. However, issues began almost immediately. Upon delivery and setup at Bickley RV Park, I noticed movement in the camper. With the help of a neighbor, I discovered a bent left jack. Not long after, the right front jack also became bent. I then experienced electrical issues, including non-functioning under-storage lights, and most alarmingly, a major water leak that spread across the camper floor, reaching my bedroom. I also discovered the fuse panel latch keeps opening on its own. I took the camper to Camping World for service in December 2024. The technician acknowledged the leak, jack issues, fuse panel latch, and lighting problems. They also confirmed water damage to the floor and wall--something extremely concerning given my multiple health conditions that could be worsened by mold or mildew. I contacted Camping World numerous times over the following months with little to no progress or communication: 12/28/24: No updates on parts or repairs. 2/17/25: I was told parts were approved and ordered. 3/19/25: Still no parts. 3/26/25: I was told the wrong parts had been ordered. 4/2/25 & 4/11/25: Continued lack of communication. 5/2/25: I was locked inside my camper. I have video evidence of this. 5/6/25: I was again trapped inside, and had to call roadside assistance. A locksmith had to grind the door frame to prevent this from happening again. 5/10/25: I came home to find the A/C unit not working, leaving my dogs inside a hot camper in Florida. Camping World told me to find a mobile service tech, which I cannot afford. At this point, I was met with dismissiveness and misinformation, including being told that my warranty had expired, which is false. I also spoke with Anthony, the General Manager, to express my distress. While I did use a curse word out of frustration to describe my situation, I did not curse at him personally. He responded by hanging up on me, which was unprofessional and deeply upsetting. I then visited the store in person with my friends, Todd and Lori. I was in tears. The front desk staff were kind, but no one--not even Bob Stone, the service manager--took the time to pull up my file or offer a private space to discuss my situation. Anthony never came out to apologize. I bought this unit brand new from your location and have received months of delays, dismissals, and no solutions. I believe many of these issues may be due to the campers being exposed to two hurricanes before being sold.
