TrashCan Rodz Warranty Coverage

We don’t mass produce. We build individualized problems for fish!

What’s Covered

Workmanship Warranty – 1 Year
Covers wrapping, epoxy, finish work, and craftsmanship.

• Guide Train Warranty – 1 Year
  Covers precision-spaced and hand-aligned guides against defects in materials or early failure under normal fishing use.

• Blank Warranty – 3 Years
  Covers structural defects in the rod blank itself.

• Custom Builds
  Many custom builds carry lifetime blank and/or guide-train coverage from the manufacturer (defects only). Your Build Sheet lists the exact terms. Full details: /warranty-coverage

Warranty Activation & Timing

Coverage begins on the original purchase date.

Your rod must be registered within 60 days of purchase to activate warranty eligibility.

Registrations submitted after 60 days may require valid proof of purchase before a claim is approved.

Warranty expiration is always calculated from the original purchase date — not the registration date.

User Error
Damage caused by misuse, improper handling, or neglect. If it broke because of how it was handled — not how it was built — it’s not covered.

• Truck Doors & Tailgates
  Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Toyota… doesn’t matter. Rods don’t win that fight.

• Stepping or Sitting on It
  Under a boot, chair, or cooler — it’s done.

• High-Sticking
  Lifting the rod straight up until it folds beyond its intended load limits.

• Hung on Rocks, Docks, or Timber
  Pulling until it breaks isn’t a structural defect.

• Accidental Abuse
  Car hoods, ceiling fans, kids, pets… you get the picture.

If you treat it right, we’ll stand behind it — simple as that.

Claim Fee & Shipping
Approved claims carry a $65 service fee. The customer is responsible for all shipping costs (both directions).
