[QUOTE="remm, post: 289530, member: 821"] The last few loomis rods I broke, cost around $100 to have them send a new one. It's been a number of years since it only cost shipping with loomis to get a new rod, guess they figured they gotta charge something to replace rods that retail for >$200 and I don't blame them. Rod locker and kids got 3 GLX's in a couple week span. Kid broke one, had the replacement 2 days later and rod locker slammed on it before I even wetted a line with it, called the lady and said I needed another rod and she said it already got shipped. She started laughing when I said it was the new one that broke. Saved a little on shipping by sending 2 broken ones back together. My guess is 99% of broken rods are operator error, not manufacturing defect. Having lifetime warranty/free replacement for something like that doesn't make good business sense to me I guess.
