Lifetime warranty. Should be over the counter but everybody handles that differently. I know for a fact that A2O boating in jeffersonville will take care of it with no questions asked. They took care of one for me. Plus they have great tackle!

I can't believe you were able to break one!

Yeah, I think it is still an over the counter swap. At least when my reel seat came unglued it still was.

Bass Pro will not swap them without a receipt or proof of purchase from the rewards database. Manager said Shimano has really cut down on the swap out with no proof of purchase. I have broken two of them, one a casting and the other a spinning. I swapped out my casting with no questions asked at Bass Pro with proof of purchase but they will not take my spinning. I looked online at Shimano and they were saying they needed proof of purchase as well and they did not cover rods purchased from online auction sites. I bought mine from bass boat central and ahve no proof. Trying to figure out what to do with mine

Talked with a local Tackle Shop and they said it has to be sent back for so Shimano can replace it. $15 fee and prolly take 5 days. I would do it but I'm really wanting to fish with it this weekend so I'll wait. I broke about 2" off the tip so I just cut it back to the next eye and it's been fine. Sure wish I had over the counter replacement!!

Hey DJD, I ship them back directly to Shimano....Cut the rod into pieces and ship it in a really short rod tube....send me a PM and I'll hunt down the address and a customer service number for ya...I've sent 3 back to them and they run me about 5 bucks to ship and they send me back the replacement rod....usually takes about a week
