Not ideal!

#1 Post by Marty Harrison »

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!
