Yea, but making that 5 footer doesn't COST you a penny.....you take it back and they give you a new one............FOR LIFE.

THAT is why I buy good equipment. I broke a G. Loomis in Canada......Packed out both broken parts, and got a new on in a week from the factory.

Yea, you pay a SERIOUS amount up front, but it is worth the warranty.

On the flip side, not all warranties are the same. My AllStars which also carry a lifetime warranty are TERRIBLE. I've never been able to get one replaced. In one case, I sent back a 6'10" spinnerbait II rod, and instead of sending a new rod, the replaced the tip, even though it was 8 inches SHORT. That is hardly the warranty I wanted..........and that rod was a 120.00 rod.
