Dude y'all are crazy, ease up on jL8200.
Mass produced rod makers and custom rod makers don't have the same warranties.
It's the rod builders choice to determine their warranty; jL8200 was simply returning a broken rod which was covered in the warranty.

IMO- When you buy a rod with a no questions asked return policy your buying at least 1.5 rods with your original purchase price.
They cover the cost up front by inflating the purchase price; and that's why custom rod builders are more bang for buck.

Just because you CAN return it doesn't mean you should. Unless you are a democrat

I'm pretty sure warranties say "manufacturer defect" and not lie about how you broke it defect.

Because it you tell the manager at academy you ran over it, it won't get replaced.

Guess imma bad guy for swapping out my Lews reels every couple years at Academy? lol

Did I miss the memo for Self Righteous Wednesday?
Everybody picking on poor old Academy; I sure hope they make it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Academy sells custom built rods; they sell overpriced mass produced rods that have warranties designed to lure in customers wanting a one time rod purchase.

When I return a rod to Academy I don't tell them anything. I don't try to explain and they don't ask. I take the money they just gave me and re-invest it in the store. So as long as they don't see and issue with their return policy then neither do I. So you idealistic folks can just go buy rods from wherever and pay to buy another when you break it or it happens to break.

I was just about to start crying and I see the rod floating about 20 yds in front the boat. I troll up to grab it and Ive still got an impressive gaftop on the other end. I get the beautiful specimen in the boat and beat her lifeless and continue on with my day.

I guess what I'm getting at is do all the sarge custom rods float or did I just get real lucky?
Which you never do huh ??? Ok
