[quote flygoddess][quote up2nogood][quote flygoddess][quote sinergy]What really surprises me is my scenario cant be unique I mean theirs Authorized Orvis outlets all over the country.
So when a person travels, as many people do and buys from a fly shop are they all told to return items back to there previous destination ???
That says to me Orvis isnt supporting the fly shop to buy directly from Orvis or youll have a crap time trying to get service... which is eff up
Its the Orvis Recon Rod
I thinking Im just going to return the rod for a full refund and buy a Sage not worth the headache.[/quote]
I get that. I just hope you will be happier with a Sage warranty.[crazy][/quote]
Nothing wrong with the lifetime Sage warranty, broke a 9 foot XP they replaced the entire rod.Took awhile, they no longer sell the XP, but have the blanks.[/quote]
Good to hear. Mine cost $60.[/quote]
Mine was $50 , but considering it was nearly a 600.00 dollar rod back then. I didn't feel too bad. Also considering I broke it in two places, and no fault of theirs it was all on me.
I have no idea how Orvis or Winston warranties work or for that matter any of the higher end rods. IMO $50 for a no fault replacement is not bad. If Orvis or others do better then that ,then thats great.
