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 carry lifetime **blank** and/or **guide-train** coverage from the manufacturer (**defects only**). Your **Build Sheet** lists the exact terms. Full details: /warranty-coverage
What’s Not Covered
- **User error** – if it broke because of how it was handled, not how it was built.
- **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** – jacking the rod straight up till it folds like a pretzel.
- **Hung up on rocks, docks, or timber** – yanking till it breaks isn’t a 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 fee, and the customer covers all shipping costs (both directions).
