Default Abu Garcia Beachcaster importer?

As the title suggests, I have a beachcaster that I would like to find
the import agency for. I'm not sure if it's under warranty or even
where I bought it, but it broke during a cast last week.

The break is half way up the top section of my two piece rod. The
blank seems extreemly thin at this point, around the thicknes of the
board used in a cornflakes box. I suspect it was faulty when
manufactured. Would anyone agree? I've never inspected a rods
"innards" before :-)



Regards


HN

Abu have there hq in swansea,but most shops who deal with abu should be able
to source you a top section,really depends on how old the rod is and wether
or not they still have spares.

Thanks for the information. I cannot remember where the rod was
purchased, but it is certainly new. I'll give a tackle dealer a try.

It is supprising how many different rods come off the same mandrel tho.

They have to be thin or would be too stiff and heavy to cast with. If you

think your beachcaster is thin, you should see how thin the top section of a
fly rod is!
