Sending to Loomis is BETTER.......
They send you a NEW rod........NOT a repair.....I actually used the expeditor services a couple months ago for a GL3 rod.....
For $50.00, they sent a new rod, and requested the "broken" rod be sent back in the rod tub the new one was shipped in.......They paid insured postage both ways........GREAT deal, and I received it OVERNIGHT.
