Well Sean Im probably just getting too old or something to get into these warranty discussions. >From my perspective the equipment for this sport, (which by the way always had a certain delicacy to it) has gotten better and better, and much more durable. I cannot help but wonder if any of these folks would have been able to maintain a silk line, or a gut leader. Much less a bamboo rod.   Its a free country and a company can pretty much do what it wants, but I don't want to pay for it. So, I just can't take seriously an outfit that takes back a pair of 5-6 year old waders- someone pays/there is no free lunch. If someone can go in and get an exchange after that kind of period, more power to them, but frankly I could not keep a straight face. And that is exactly why, when I have a choice, I buy from outfits who offer a basic product at a reasonable price minus a lifetime warranty.  Now if only Sage offered such a deal I would be about a grand richer. :-)   Dave Expectations- schemexpectations Bah humbug
