I always hate when a rod comes back broke but 3 in 2 days wow I haven't had 3 all last year. I guess the more rods I build the more chances for some to come back. I may need to give a lesson on rod care with every purchase or just charge more LOL. Maybe once they pay for the rebuild they will learn. Re: warranties/rod care

How about providing a copy of the "Eliminate Broken Rods" article from the library with every rod. Any intellectual property problems with doing that? Re: warranties/rod care

Type out a half page on rod care. Make sure you have a detailed description of what high sticking is and how to avoid it. Rod care paperwork goes out with every rod. Once I started sending those flyers home rod breakage went way down. If they pick the rod up in the shop they are SHOWN what high sticking is.
Had a guy buy a graphite UL ice rod. Landed at 45" musky on it. And many more NICE fish. Called today and he said he broke it. Said it was his fault, he said "I high sticked the thing. My bad" A little education goes a long way. Buzz Re: warranties/rod care

The rods we build for people come with a fool proof warranty. When we hand the finished rod over we say, "The warranty is 30 seconds or 30 feet, whichever comes first."
We have never had any issues. Flex Coat Company Professional Rod Building Supplies www.flexcoat.com Re: warranties/rod care
