Guess I have been fortunate with my (5) Carrot Stix rods, no problems as of yet and have had them for a long time. You think it is because I have the Carrot Stix Wild makes a difference? Many pro's on tour and the college tours use them.

I buy all my gear at Academy becuase of their great customer service. Just a handfull of things I cant get there, and I shop at local stores for that. I have been through 3 carrot sticks with Academy, they take them back no questions asked A little birdie told me they have a way of generating $$ from returns

I'm not saying this to rile anyone up, but exactly how would you warranty a rod anyway? Since it would be nearly impossible to know if it was broken from a defect or a truck tailgate? Surely no one expects a company to replace a rod due to screen doors or clumsiness, so how do you prove that a rod broke from pure defective manufacturing?
Just asking.....

I bought a spinning rod and hate it! Been having trouble with the eyelet on top the insert keeps coming out. I agree they are junk!

Just asking..... Rod builders can normally tell just by the action of the rod, length, and tip speed where a manufacture defect can occur. Now that's not to say if a batch got out where they break in an odd ball place, but that would be more pronounced and they would have more people returning rods for the same reason.
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 am in the process of switching to all Dobyns rods,I think I have 7 now. I broke one of Extreme rods a couple months ago, I walked in handed the local retailer the rod I carelessly broke and $60 he handed me the exact same rod. For a rod that retails for $300+ I would say $60 is a good replacement for MY FAULT damage. If it would have been a defect if would have been free.
I have ZERO complaints about Dobyns warranty..
