I used a lot of All Stars and Im sure DD can chime in on this..........Its not worth the fight!!! Get you a good custom rod and deal with a person not a business if you want good rod warranty

hey outcast, if u just have to have another all star rod, u can get the new all star rods from us at the tackle box or any reputable ASR dealer and i believe they can be exchanged for one year over the counter and after that, thru the manufacturer. (with reciept, of course.. we cant take back ASR's from BPS). i will check tomorrow to make sure about the ASR's. wright mcgill is goin to that warranty too for their skeet reese and blair wiggin's rods. shimano still offers lifetime over the counter replacement for all their rods from the convergence series on up. gimme a holler if i can help ya.

Last time I checked!!!! Best rod I have ever used!! I did get introduced to the H&H rods!!! They are great also...haven't broke it yet or had trouble so...that will make my call to pull the trigger on another one!!! But I have a room full of Waterloos... Never found a rod you can buy at any store even close to the performance.... But custom rods cost money and not everyone wants to pay that for a rod.... Only rods I would buy in stores would be Shimano,falcon and cheaper route All star

Note: all star rods are not the same as the 1st ones made out of Texas! Once bought out By (Shakespeare I think??) Rod quality has went to crap,,,imo

It's all subjective, those rods are pretty much production rods. The quality control isn't what it should be for 175-325 dollar rods either. You really only have choice of a couple of actions. Have one made with a rainshadow or shikari medium fast blank and you'll have the same lightweight feel.

Last all star i had broke about 3 times, finally i gave it away.
