Not ideal!

Postby Marty Harrison » Wed Apr 19, 2006 8:12 pm

Nipped out of the house tonight for a few hours on the rocks in front of me. Rigged up with a chart and white clouser made a few casts then clunk!. Clouser hits the top section on the rod on the back cast and I now have a 4 piece Scierra blue water instead of the factory supplied 3 piece. Time to find out how good the lifetime guarantee is.

Back to the old leeda rod for a while, typical what with the weather finally improving etc.

All lifetime guarantees should cover it, its usually no questions asked, even if you break it in a car door (d'oh! :shock: ) they'll replace the section thats broken... breaking it while using it fishing will definitely be covered...
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

Yea was no prob, took it back to the shop I got it from and had a replacement tip section in a few days with no questions asked, great job all round.
