what a day- sad story

check me out on ebay. i think the cheapest imx went for about $130 and the
glx was about $240. my ebay name is bassngear. just look up recently
closed items. i sell off tackle about 3-4 times a year and other items like
graphs and gps.

i usually keep custom rods i like and sell the factory tackle. some i get
to try and show to guide clients, some i buy at a discount and some i buy
used just to resell.

i can't wait for the call from loomis. i suspect this will fall under
abuse, not normal usage and i will be politely told sorry. i like loomis
and would not blame them for declining to warranty the rods.

this a.m. i was going to work and taking 4 loomis rods to pack and ship
after ebay sales. i have a spiffy 4 door truck i drive when the weather
is
bad. last night we had a little snow and ice and more on the way today.
i
opened the truck door and the back door and put the rods in. i leaned
them
against the back seat and closed the back door. guess what was in the
door
jam? yep, 4 loomis rods. 1 glx and 3 imx all sold and paid for. what
a
sweet day, $600 down the old crapper, if loomis decides not to warranty
them. they all have a nice long nifty splitting crack that just screams
door smash, and i imagine loomis would know even if i lied. i didn't
though
and told the straight skinny in a note with an $80 check that went to
loomis
this afternoon.

5 years i have been selling high end rods and never a crack. then bang
all
caught up in one slam of the door.

Why don't you just wait to find out? My understanding is that the
replacement policy is like an unconditional pay-per-incident warranty

I dunno. I sent a bunch of broken rod to Quantum last year, and told them
that they were all broken from rod locker and travel abuse. Also, I wasn't
sure I had bought them all in the last year, but I have some copies of
receipts for rods.

When I called they said send them and they would let me know what they would
charge to repair or replace the lot of them.

They replaced every one of them no-charge.

Quantum rods are inexpensive and probably make some of the lightest rods for
their action and price. Some might enterpret this as cheap, because of the
low price and the fact that they will tolerate being slammed in the door of
a rod locker or having the tip doubled over. Some might alos say that its
no big deal that Quantum replaced them because the company is so big and the
price of the rods is so low, but I look at it differently.

Its a good rod to fish with, and if I do break one they will take care of
me. Basically free replacemnt for the first year then a fraction of the
cost to replace them afterwords.

Amazingly I haven't broken one since. Of course I have learned my way
around my boat a little better too.

I thought Loomis had a 50.00 no questions asked policy on replacements?

i should hear from them any day. i also think quantum rods are good for the
money. their tour rod is just pretty darn good regardless of price and
makes a great rod for entry level. their 600 energy casting reel is pretty
good too. they just get a knock for all the low end crap they sell under
everyone's name.

I believe even under the abuse clause, Loomis is only going to charge you
$50 a rod plus S&H of $10
