1.Has anybody ever used thses jigs? I love Tungsten products but have never tried these, although they are a little pricey?

2. I broke a rod last week and have been shopping around. Its a worm/jig rod and I have several BPS rods which I really like for the comfort and price. However Im interested in shimano rods with the lifetime warranty. So this means if I ever break it its replaced totally free? Just take it back where I purchased it, no questions ask? Also what rods would someone reccomend, I dont want to spend the mortgage on one.....thnx!
