I agree it use to be like this with alot of local shops,unfortunatly manufacturers are alot more stringent on warranty issues in todays economy.Gone are the days when my local shop will replace my rod with one off the shelf because the manufacturer won't replace the rod he sends in for warranty.It's tough for the local shops to take a hit.

I got 2 caps from the late 50's sorry not for sale

I've been looking into Northfork blanks which is Garry Loomis's new company and the blanks alone cost the same as high end Loomis rod.They look pretty sweet and I know with Garry designing them they'll be top notch.The last info I got is there still working on a 13'6" center pin blank which should be on the market soon

Loomis warranty now is called the expediter warranty, you pay $75.00 and they replace the rod no questions asked.

Except the one's that work there

Here's a solution to your problem....walk out to the parking lot, open your trunk, stick the rod 1/2 way in, slam down the trunk, walk back into the store with the rod snaped in 1/2 and get new one.The limitation is the warranty only covers manufactered non-confromities and workmanship read the warranty you posted.It can't be made any simpiliar,don't listen to sales persons read the factory warranty. It's very clear, right from Shimanno I don't understand how you can't get it.

I know there are a few protected areas,it's one of the last places where there is a population of natural lake trout and there trying to protect the species.Natural Great Lake strains are pretty rare except on lake Supperior.

Dude you posted the warranty yourself, read it and try to understand it, if your under the impression that if you break it you automatically get it replaced your very wrong. The warranty dosn't state that at all or anything close to it, it's a limited warranty

Berkley Lightning rod.....I got one I left in the trunk of the car and it warped on me,it's got a constant bend in the tip hahahahahaha.What do you want from a cheap rod made from crap,I showed the Berkley rep and he just laughed no warranty.I didn't press the issue because I thought it was pretty funny myself, it's found a happy home in the corner of shame in the basement hahahaha

The lifetime warranty lasts for your life, however it's limited to non-comformities and workmanship which will show up the first few times in use.It's a marketing ploy, the manufacturer knows full well if there is a defect in the blank it's going to break with in the first few times of use.If there is a problem in workmaship ie: misaligned guides,poor finish, ect the purchaser will find this out quickly. Limited lifetime warranties only protect you from getting a product that should have probably been rejected at the factory.Loomis rods have the same Limited lifetime warranty, but they also have what is called an expediter warranty which is you pay $75.00 and they replace the rod no questions asked.

Well dude fight with Shimano that after 7yrs of use the rods suddenly developed non-conformities in materials and workmanship because as it states thats all the warranty covers. Good luck with that

Check out Lac Suel if you want a real adventure, there are 3 or 4 houseboat rental agencies on th lake

It's not a lifetime warranty,it's a LIMITED lifetime warranty on manufacturer defects which does not include smashing it in a car door, steping on it,smashing it off the side of a boat... ect.Manufacturer defects will show the first or second time using the product not 7yrs later. Why can't you understand the difference? I'm sure if you could prove to Shimano you had a brand new v-rod that was 7 yrs old and broke do to manufacturer defect that they would honor the warranty.The thing is you need to learn the difference between lifetime warranty and limited lifetime warranty.

You may run into some naturals in that area, we use to release those and just keep the stockers.You can tell the naturals, there much darker and not cliped

They could have closed down the canals like they were told to do.

Putting faith in Obama is a joke. what a let down he turned out to be, all he does is and nothing gets done He should know better he is from there

Fun to watch though, they'll be gone in a few weeks.....maybe try a plastic owl or something to deter them from nesting.The thing is once a bird finds a good nesting spot they will return to it next season.

Contrary to popular belief we are a pretty filthy nation,we have polluted our waterways with paper mills,minning we have contaminated many of our prestine watersheds.We have wiped out 100's of lakes with acid rain, contaminated entire communities with mercury, built hydro dams wiping out species of wildlife.We continue these practices with diamond mines and oil production.Canada is not a leader in the enviromental protection game, we like to talk as though we care but our actions speak for themselves.If it comes down to $$$$$$$ or the enviroment we all know what wins this battle.Thank god we are a huge country with a small population.

All I can say is fish with a $200-$250 ultralight and it'll be tough to go back to the cheap crap.If you enjoy your other high end outfits,it's tough to go back to the low end stuff, the same is true for ultralights

I have an old Fenwick world class 5'6" UL it's a sweet rod but you can't find those anymore, I got it right from the factory in Niagara Falls, I guess it's almost a collector item now hahahaha

My friend just got that same rod and he loves it. His Loomis sits at home now hahaha.Rapala is making some fine quality rods at an affordable price really worth looking into.
