I'd like to frame this question a little differently. You finally decided to plunk down the cash for that nice steelhead wand you've had your eye on. If you had your choice of paying $500 with a full, unconditional lifetime warranty, or $350 with the standard manufacturer's defect warranty, which would you choose? I've always found this marketing technique in this industry a little curious. Charge for 2 rods up front and hope the customer only needs one. If he needs the other one, what the heck, it's already paid for. Personally, I like the Loomis system. Pay for one rod with the standard warranty plus insurance with a $45 deductible. I have 3 Loomis rods. Broke one in a car-door-type mishap. Paid my stupid fee to have it replaced. Had a new rod in a week. Now being more careful. --ken --- Keith Ayers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > All my rods are Loomis. They used to replace them no > questions asked.
