[Garone Custom Rods]

As far as warrantees go I guarantee my rods against workmanship defects. If a rod breaks after the first time out ( if it breaks on the first fish that is a different story) and the customer would like to have a replacement made I will salvage the components I can from broken rod and wrap the replacement for at the same rate as a new rod minus the cost of the reused components. If the blank manufacturer warrantees the blank the cost of the blank is also subtracted from the build cost. The fact is that as a single man operation I cannot afford to wrap replacement rods for nothing especially when I have 10-30 hours in a rod. I would go out of business in no time. Personally I believe these no questions asked warrantees have and still are destroying the industry. I work at an outdoor store part time and see guys come in with rods that are broken and when you hear what you were doing that broke it you want to slap them. It's like taking a Honda Civic offroading and then doing to the dealer expecting a new car when the suspension is destroyed. I have also heard some a$$holes even say I wanted a new one so I broke it and sent it back to so and so and they sent me the new model for a few $ shipping. That being said in the 9 years I have been building and hundreds of rods under my belt only 2 that I have built broke while fishing.
