[jasonjj]

well i bought my self the new daiwa supcast stb 13m 180 pounds sterling got to the beech saturday night fist cast loud crack my new rod broke like a bamboo stick , bought it from spottydog tackle in uk so now im wating to find out about it Edit mod anybody ever heard of a rod just breaking on a cast and were do u stand with a company when uv only just got it

should be covered surely ? I'd be surprised if they didn't exchange it for ya. I've only seen it happen with the cheaper rods . Had a Ron Thompson fly rod broke three in a row and they swapped for a shakespear. Ive seen plenty of Fladen rods snap

well the exact same thing happened me with a daiwa seahunter 12ft rod prob not in the same class as your rod!but a strong blank all the same supposedly!
first night out with it with a buddy took it out of the car couldnt wait to test it!my friend was looking over it seeing the stiffness etc and put small pressure on the top of the rod and it crumbled in 2 the top section completley shattered wtf so astonished we were looking at eachother speechless!unbelievable so i didnt make it to a beach!with it!

so i brought the rod back to the shop not to happy eventually they did reluctantly replace it!but with the new replacement (same rod)3 eyes have broken on it now that rod cost close to 70 euro!only experience ive had with bad gear!but they should defo sort you out!

ye i phoned shop this morning so they phoned diawa and they wanted me to post back rod which would cost an arm and leg so in the end they said to cut of two six inch pieces an post for examination lol so thats what iv done . so hopefully ill get a new rod they said its never happened to this new model yet im the first .

i just bought a daiwa prospinner and the cork handle split on my third retrieve. very disappointing as it felt great up till then. I bought it locally so I presume they will exchange.

Had guests arrive from Belgium today, seasoned travellers with rods packed in sturdy tubes and his new Ron Thompson rod lasted 3 casts.
He won it in a comp so at least did not pay for it!

Had a Penn power stick snap on me only a week old and there was no problem get it replaced, I think you should be ok
