When I took it back, I actually told the guy I thought it was my fault, and he said, no problem, well get it exchanged for you, no big deal. So that was cool. Did you tell them you snapped it because you closed your car door on it? There is no way that a rod could withstand a car door closing on it, do you realize that it would of positioned the point in the rod closed in the door in a Z position? It would of snapped as soon as the door was closed, unless you are fishing with a rubber band. I've broken several rods, probably 5-6, and only one of them was manufacture defect and that was a Carrot Stix wild. Between the first 2 eyelets the rod snapped on a hookset, and the 2nd eyelet came off of the rod blank.

You know the old saying
If it floats, flys, or f___s it is always cheaper to rent!
You have to decide which is more important.

I will admit, in hindsight, i probably shouldn't have taken it back. However, as i said earlier, the whole reason i bought the combo at academy, as opposed to somewhere online is because i think they have great customer service, and i wanted to give them my business. Also, the rod didn't break when i closed it in the door, if it had done that, there is no way i would have taken it back, it broke when i caught a fish, which granted was probably because of the door, but i don't know that 100%.
Also, I told the guy at the customer service desk that it was more than likely operator error, and they still accepted the exchange no questions asked.
Just one more reason why i like Academy, great customer service. Also, the rod didn't break when i closed it in the door, if it had done that, there is no way i would have taken it back, it broke when i caught a fish, which granted was probably because of the door, but i don't know that 100%. What a joke LOL!!!!!

Why would you take a rod back for exchange when you shut it in the car door??? Why would someone crowd you at the lake when there is so much other water they could fish? Just some of lifes mysteries.
