OKAY!!! WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

[rugman]

I PICKED UP A NEW ST CROIX ROD LAST YEAR we went out fishing and I got a fluke on it and took it on the boat and the tip broke  they said send it back and it will cost me $30.00 to send it back and I paid $120.00 for it . what a pain in the a$$$ . do I take the money and buy something else or send it back? The other rod that I love from gander mt was great , so I dont think the st will hole up again PS I CANT GET A BREAK

think about it ,you could have spent a little more on a better rod and it would have come w/ a life time warraty ,I broke 4 of them last year and they replaced every one .We had a lammi break on a fluke last week and the guy is screwed ,he paid 225 for the rod a year ago

See if Dicks sells that rod. Buy a new one and extended warranty. Wait a week and bring back the first one.

That stinks......if you want I can give you the number of a guy in Highlands that repairs my rods.....real reasonable

Next time stay away from the nude beach.  This way you'll be paying attention and wont break tips.

And please with the Caps Ruggy.   Don't make me pull out the Caps Blocker

mike , I was just bringing a small fluke in to the boat rgmnmaybe we have to use the net all the time

[rugman]

 my thing is ,If I have to send it back and spend $30.00 and get a new one and they tell me that I have to send them $50.00 for a new one . It is not worth it

Man Deisel- I like the way you think....let the store pay for the shipping and they can write it off. Of course, better not break the new one until you return the old one!

   Stop highsticking and that wont happen.


   45 degree angle and you cant go wrong

I think you are right on that , I picked up the fish over to the boat and I think the best way to bring them in is with a net . So in a way it was me that broke it

My Mom would've told me to do this!  Smart woman, that lady.

I always send them back for 50 bucks they give me a brand new one no questions asked

I can't wait to see Bob's reply on that one...

Rugman, Broke some Lamiglass graphite in the past few years,called up customer service,spoke to a rep. and sent them back at my expense(aprox $25-28) and they were replaced (but keep in mind they were still under one year warranty). Either way it cost us.

[hareball]

I'd just glue a new tip on it and spend the money on a Lamiglas, Loomis, or Tsunami.
