around that time i think
i have several and love them for the money plus when they break lifetime just walk in and they have always given me a new one.. but my local guy at academy told me he doesn't think they are gonna do the lifetime replacement any more .. i was buying a lews at the time but that is the main reason i didn't mind paying for a less.... i knew if it didn't last i could get ut replaced.. long as i didn't tear it up... anyone else heard this? i don't want to start something that isn't true but the guy worked there... was just warning me that all the ones i had bought in the past might not be replaced... i said BULL BUTTER when I bought them they were replacing for free if they fell apart...
we shall see

I've pretty much decided to sell all my Curados and go back to these so I want to try and catch them on sale.

With you on that Frank. I hardly use mu curados now, I use a mettle and a pro qualifier. I have not tried the new mettles though. I hope they are good since they went up on price and down on weight. I think the new model is why you can not get the replacements on the old one without receipt.

I have a buddy that works in the fishing/gun counter at Academy and he told me something along the same lines. He said the company changed their corporate policy on returns and their new policy does not include the return policy they have had in the past where you can bring in a busted reel and they simply hand you a new one, although individual stores do have the option of keeping the old exchange policy if they choose to do so (I assume that the individual store takes the loss instead of corporate now). He said there have been quite a few store that have already said they are not changing their return policy even if it cost the individual store more money. Hope this helps

I took my gen 2 in today. It was making an awful buzzing sound. The guy looked at it and switched it out, no questions asked.
